I was planning to go in this:


But I didnt get it done in time.

So now I'm riding shotgun again (Trunk Monkey) with Jay Brown.
We are taking his 69 Mach I, with the 545"FE highriser wedge. The motor is areally cool build with a ton of home made parts.


You can see Jays engine build on his website here: http://fepower.net/simplemachinesforum/index.php?topic=168.0

Here is the Mach I in action:


We should be running in Big block naturaly aspirated street race. The cars biggest limitation is traction. It is a real R-code (428 Cobra Jet) Mach I, so jay isn't willing to cut up the body to fit bigger tires. And he wants to stick with a stock appearing theme as much as possible, so nothing has been done to lighten it. We will be leaving for Drag Week with this combo mostly untested.
I need to make sure and meet up with all you fellow Mopar lovin'Drag Week guys, even though I'll be in a Ford.

Doesn't look like DusterDJ is going to make it . He found that his intake runners on his heads were cracked and leaking water. The guy cant seem to catch a break.

Too bad, we all wanted to see that car run. (even if it is an A body)
Kudo's to DJ for the effort. Now he'll have another year to get it dialed in. He'll need it.

Anyone trying to compete in unlimited has got their work cut out for them, that's for sure! Larry Larson, the Unlimited Champ, has been flogging that Chevy for about 30 years. It is going to be tuff to start with a new car, and all the unknown gremlins, get it all sorted, and take down a veteran car like Larrys. And hopefulls should be at the track every weekend all year to get things scienced out, find the week points and fix them, and get the seat time. Then drive the car to work all week. It will take a lot of dedication.
Good luck next year Duster DJ.
