I was racing my 73 Charger.... Swapped the 318 out for a 400 with a 484 cam and 750 Holley... Had Pro-trac tires and 3.23 gears.. Ran 15.20 at 92mph in second gear. Funny thing about that car was I never lost a street race light to light and I would run anything I could get a race with!!

The same car I race now, just on its third incarnation! Bought it in 1978, tubbed it in 1980 and put the 535 in it that year, did an entire 2x3 ladderbar chassis in 1994/97. Five different engine combos over the years.

This, my first dragster...stock block and heads 340 with a roller cam, glide equipped and shifted with a very sketchy homemade shifter....138" wheelbase, it was a blast to drive, ran low 6's in the 1/8th...broke a rod in the burnout in 1984 at the bracket finals at the now extinct Green Valley Raceway in Fort Worth.

I remember that car! originally owned by Don Slout from Williamsport PA. Later owned by Larry Arnold, who named it "Barbarian".
Boy, that was a long time ago!

Yeah, I heard it got around. The earliest I knew was Larry Arnold and I bought it from John Troxell. I sold it to a friend of mine who is working on getting it back on the track. He said he was surprised I didn't kill myself because the reconstructed frame rails were about to come apart. I was 19 and knew nothing about racecars back them. BTW, the car is only about 5 miles from Beaver Springs Dragway right now. I wish I had kept it.

A 1965 Dodge Race Hemi. Never had to work on it because I didn't have a penny to my name to buy parts with. Still my favorite bracket car. Don't have any pix. Wish I had one.
