I can't say I have plans on this but I do have hopes.

My hope is that I can get My 71 and my wifes 72 back out to the track after sidelining them for the last couple years so we could afford to keep my daughters racing their Jrs.

With the new job, that is a remote possibility but at least now it IS a possibility.

Well , the car has been shaken down and proved itself worthy of street duty.
So I will be hitting the track and trying to get it to hook first.....then trying to figure out which tweaks it wants to maximize the combination.
My gut tells me I am pretty close on the tune up and it goes straight and pulls like a draft horse once it is planted.
So getting it to launch , if you'll pardon the blue oval pun , is job one.

Strongly thinking of trading /selling my car for a street E or B body, time will tell and I don't have to rush into it.

Sold one of my bracket cars so I can focus more on Stock/Super Stock in 2015. Plan to hit more Nationals this year and shoot for a National Top 10 finish in both classes. But first I've got some ET to find in the SS car over the winter and I'm going back together with the Stocker 440 right now after a freshen up.

Race my new truck in pro bracket primarily, dabble a little in super street and super pro as well.

Street drive and do some bracket racing in the dart as well, hopefully with Gen III hemi power.

I'm looking to pick up a tenth (1/8 mile) with a little weight loss (scrap the under coating), cam swap, and seal the carb to hood. I would like to see the car in the 6.50's in good air, and 6.60's in crap air. If it does better, YAY!


67 Barracuda street car, 408, e85, 1.38 60', 6.44 @105.9 in the 1/8 mile, 10.19 @130.5 in the 1/4...so far....

Was kicking around a lot of ideas as to where to go next with my car; even looking at adding nitrous. (Like most hot rodders, constantly looking to go faster) Then it donned on me: Disc Brakes. I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on a front disk conversion this winter.

Paint the pass side door. Install DA shocks up front, the tune front to rear and rear to front. Go through carb and try out the new Firecore wires.


Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

My goal is to run at least a 6.teen. Best I have run so far is a 6.29.I run 1/8 only. I upgraded my fuel system and went from a 950 to a 1050 Dominator.
And replace my new car trailer that was stolen last year. I drove to track this year and would rather haul it in case something happens.
