Well I only have one season on my 408 and my 422 is on my engine stand waiting 11 months now for Molnar rods. I took on a couple porting jobs to make some racing funds and finish up my 572 install in my blue duster. Well I got some extra work over the weekend. After running a nice 6.05 and a 6.02 in some crappy weather at Quaker City we got some costal type great air on Saturday. Well I was going to let my son drive on Sunday as he came over from Tiffin Ohio for the weekend. Well I put him in the seat so he could race both days. He dialed 5.97 and had a .0002 light but my duster launched high, hit second gear in the powerglide and come up and hit the rear bumper. At 330-350 foot out he featured it some and it came down, bounced and hit the wall broadside. Hit front to back I now have some bodywork to do over the winter. Steering wheel is now off too so something in the frontend got tweaked. My son Matt is fine and went on to race his buddy’s 5 second Camero later that day and Sunday.
