Well I dropped the race car and trailer off tonight at Pittsburgh raceway Park and will head up tomorrow for the for this weekends Halloween race. Lots of changes from last years setup.
1970 duster (app 2600-2700 pounds)
408 instead of 360
ported w2's instead of ported edlebrocks
560 solid instead of 520 solid
1050 dom instead of 750 holley
Powerglide instead of 727
new drive shaft and ladder bars
Racepak and dash not all programed at this time.
Best it ran last year with whiskyrunner driving was a 10.25
I have no idea what to expect but I plan on having a great time.

Bigger radiator, cast iron heads instead of aluminum, and Dad is a little chubbier.

Different car. That's Matt's car that needs the cage and will be installed hopefully this Winter. This is the Duster I bought several years ago that Matt raced for the last couple years. I will be racing it until I get the Daytona repaired.

I won't know until this afternoon if I'll be in my car, or Rich's Charger. Schmuck, you want me to text you to know what to expect? Or do you have something to drive?

Chuck I think Matt is going to the DARK SIDE (chevy) this weekend. Pretty sure he will be driving Kevin's car. We started digging into his bad vibration problem this week and it looks like it could be the convertor. The tranny mount also has a lot of play so its getting changed also. I think he's about ready to call it a year and reload for next year.

Ok, I won't feel guilty if I have to run the Charger then. Still no word on my heap, so it's looking like I'm hemified for the weekend.
