Looking at doing a set of aluminum heads(MP 452s or a set of source heads) figure out my Strange adustable shocks and see what I can do to make this thing hook. 1969 Super Bee High School car I got back 2004 Ram 2500

Unless I can manage to pull off the Division Super Street title at the last divisonal next weekend. Slim chance, but I am 31 points out of first now and hoping for the best.

So the 31 sounds good, but it will be 61 as soon as he pulls into the water box for round one. I will have to win the event if he is knocked out in round 2. If he makes it out of round 2 no chance of winning. Also a guy not far behind me with one race left to claim. So to have a chance I will need to make the final, and have some help. So get down here and do some blocking As for winning it well 0-9(0-2 this year)so far "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"

Our season here in Jan-June, and Sept-early Dec. We take a break in the summer when its too hot to even go outside. 1970 Dart Drag Car

The last 3 it went straight but the track was cold and didn't have much bite for me. Plans for the winter, order up a new convertor to match the motor. When the trans comes out it's getting a new super sprag and maybe a billet front drum. Also have to send my tach in for repair. Dave

I also found an old problem a vibration that was an old worn trans yoke! We will run tnt until weather permits. I would like to get a 440 but retirement income will not permit. At my age nothing is promised so I will race until I can`t.

This is the time of year that you have to show up to get the best air. Last week it was only 1/8 mile racing, but it was close to a personal best. 5.76 in the 1/8 mile and in my car that would be about 9.12 in the 1/4. Bring on the mineshaft air.... Be there, or be square! LOL 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG). Link to 572 B1 - Part 1
