Arnie I would KILL to have your 60' times Heck even the DA you get to run in, or the weight of the car That pass in both pictures are 1.302's. best we have EVER been in the car is 1.266 at the MATS but the track was not there down track. Car weighs 3320 now and we have been a best of .38 at 163 and change. Jay, Well it looks like we will probably make the SCSN race. The problem appears to be the same one we have been having it just got worse. No time to fix it now. Will try and bandaid it and hope it holds for through street car and does not go BOOM!! Will freshen it up after that and go from there.

Wes, No the rocker and spring were the first ones we have broken with the car. I am sure in our haste to address other problems we just overlooked a bad rocker, which likely led to the spring failure. We are usually pretty anal about checking the valvetrain but will admit a coupl eof times we just did not have time to look real close. We also had a fan fail and and reloy box burn up as well. Just so many things two guys can do sometimes. Between looking at racepak info and trying to figure out why were we down on power some stuff obviously got missed. Not much time between the first couple of rounds for us and we are rank amatuers for sure Jay looking forward to you guys coming up for the weekend. We will give it our all as usual. Hopefully we can represent, since we will likely be the only Mopar there again.

Arnie the car has to run a 29.5X10.5 non W M/T tire by rule. I run tubes and the beadlocks and we are at 10-10.5 depending on how the track is working. Tiny tire, plenty of power and a pig of a Mopar. Keeps us working to make it better
