I bought a picture of my car the day of the race.
The quality of the photo was great, and it was my only race this year so I wanted something to remember.
Front end geometry looks great. Whats your setup and type?
My car is 3205 race weight (with driver on the scales) back-half with ladder bar rear suspension. The front end only has two changes other than fine tuning to get it to hook and book. It has '73 Duster front disc brakes and tubular upper A-arms to give it more positive caster for high speed straight line stability. The front shocks are Koni and the torsion bars are the factory 340 GTS parts. I do restrict front end travel with 0.455" spacers under the extension end but the bumpers are aftermarket that I have trimmed to a height that makes the chassis work. i.e. less travel than stock since the engine makes so much torque (540 CID).
I was running 9.25-9.35 with the 511 CID but the new (first runs Oct 25) with the 540 went 9.02 and I am happy.

great pic Jim.... I was hoping to catch up with you to get your opinions on our combo. Ah... maybe next season
I love your car. When I was young back in the late '70s I had a 1969 Barracuda fastback. 340 with 4-speed. I like the '67-'69 fastback Barracuda.

Hey Ron , that guy must be the worst business man in history. I tried messaging him on facebook and email twice. I even asked him to contact me even if he didn't have any pics. He never contacted me at all. I figured I would give the benifit of doubt and time. As far as I am concerned now he can pack the pics where the sun don't shine. LOL
