Pittsburghracer: love the new ride. You appear to be cornering the market on cool A bodies! Is the green one going to be the fast one, the black one or the small tire one?
Rednuck: As of right now the plan is to do the same two races next year unless something unforeseen happens. Hoping to also do some racing at home!
Thanx 451 Guy

Rednuck: As of right now the plan is to do the same two races next year unless something unforeseen happens. Hoping to also do some racing at home! The small tire car will be. This year I hope to make some NA hits with the B1 headed 572 and was going to give it a small bit of nitrous but scraped those plans as I have been sick for 4 weeks. My current Wiseco pistons could only handle 250 max hit so I bought nitrous Pistons and aluminum rods for next year. I have to have my Calias crank cut down to chevy size over the winter and will be set. The green duster will run hopefully 8.50's with a set of 440-1 heads I ported and am going to update to a 2.250 intake valve. Probably going with an alcohol toilet I bought from a moparts member a few years ago. 135 dollars for 54 gallons of alcohol has me spoiled as I run it in my black duster now too

Thank you all for taking the time to read my story! I often questioned whether I would go a round again never mind win a race. The best part of the whole weekend was being able to win with my wife and baby girl there. She came into my life and saw all of the trophies and past accolades but based on my recent accomplishments I think she thought I got them at a garage sale. Thanks again for keeping me motivated!
Thanx 451 Guy

Congrats and Great Story!
Fews year back had a similar story. It was at one of the Monster Mopar events at Norwalk. Fellow racer Bob Frazee needed a new converter, broke his on Friday..we swapped in one of my old ones late Friday night in heavy rain in the pits..next day he walked thru a strong field of Pro and the 10.00 index class to take the win in both classes Like you he was ready to go home and we said, hold on a minute, we can fix that. No Wally, but it did create a great long lasting memory.
Nice car..
