Was our first 275 drag radial race this past weekend...Was so looking forward to racing at this track so we could turn the car loose at a radial prepped track...WOW!!never been so disappointed as there was very little prep and was a one lane track

Finally got down the track on our third attempt and managed to qualify 3RD out of 14 with the only MOPAR in the field with a (5.05 @ 144mph) after shock adjustments,tightning up limiters and killing lots of power down low...Normal 60' times at this power level for us is 1.20-1.21 and could only manage 1.26-1.28 range !!!

We had lane choice for 1st rnd so we put a little more in it and won with a 5.02 @ 144mph...Good lane again for 2nd rnd and stayed pat,won the rnd with a 5.01 @ another 144mph(our best et an mph)but lost lane choice for the semis...Like dingleberries we didn't turn car down and spun about 100' out...So wouldn't ya know the other car spun in the so called good lane about 200' out and with me haven already given up it was too late to chase

All in all we're very happy with the car as we're in the middle on nitrous tune-up with 3 more levels left and lots of fine tuning to do...When we get it on a good track so we can run it down low the 60' should go somewhere in the teens and the et should be around high 4.80 to low 4.90 range at the 144mph we're running now with more left...If we want to start leanning on it we could run faster,but run the risk of hurting it and not racing !!!

Most think a MOPAR can't be competetive in the 275 world,but forget that very few run 4.50 to 4.60's which is always on killer tracks and not run every pass...The normal is more 4.70-4.80 range and we're knocking on the door with more power available

BTW...Did i mention that it's a STREET LEGAL MOPAR on 275 drag radials at 3250#

Cool
Good luck

Bet those Ford and Chevy guys thought you had a hemi. Lol Good going Gary you got brand xer's scratching their head now.

good job man thats some unreal mph in the 1/8

Good job Gary! Are you going to No Mercy? If so, I'll be looking for you.

Congratulations on the weekend. That's an impressive outing when you take into account what's left in the car and the dirt track you were on

Jet # 50 on order yet Gary ? Awesome work bud,it's awesome to see something other then a mustang w a chevy motor running x275 class.

Awesome to see somebody waving the Mopar flag in a series like that! Can't remember if you're still rockin a B1 combo or you went smallblock? Anyways I know you know how to get it done regardless.

What is needed in a "nitrous chamber" since you brought it up? This is the 2nd time recently I've heard this statement.

Congrats on the strong showing. Sometimes you have to do the best ya can with what is handed to you.

Nice job especially knowing there`s more left in there........

Definitely one of my favorite cars on here. Keep up the good work!

Wish I had known you were coming....I would have ventured over there. Only 10 miles from my house.

They do a terrible job of prepping that track. Even for the 275 guys. Best I have seen there on their regular 275 nights is mid .80's or possibly a 4.82? High 4.90's and low 5.0's will make you game there most of the time.

Let me know if you venture this way again. I would love to see that fish in person.

Hey Gary, any video on your outing you can post?...Awesome car, glad to see a Mopar getting ready to ruin some GM and Ford guys day!
