I thought Jason's brother Lance had some to do with Bucky's motor as well. I could be wrong.

What weights are the Dart & Barracuda suppose to be? I seem to remember 3,080#

I thought 3220

Whoa! I was way off

3210 w/ driver

Thanks!

Hi Guys, The SS-AH Cars must weigh a min. of 3200lbs. NHRA factor of 505 H.P..X 6.00 Lbs. per Horse power plus 170lbs. for driver=3200 min.weight. Note that is for both stick and automatic transmissions.

Thanks

originally in 1968 the shipping weight was 3020 without the driver.now it is 3200 including driver as previously posted.

Looking at A/H cars, they appear to need ballast to get to the limit. They look light.
is that the case?

ANY properly constructed race car is built as light as possible so the extra weight (ballast) needed can be placed where it is most advantageous. The folks who build high end Super Stock cars are especially good at it.

Mopar is back again to sponsor the Hemi Shootout at the US Nationals at Indy. I talked to Dale Aldo at Joliet last week and they are working on the new poster for the racers. Mopar is hoping for a big turnout of Hemi cars. Get your cars ready, it should be a great show!

As of now it looks like there will be three first time Hemi Challenge cars and drivers at Indy next month. With the way Wayne Ramose ran yesterday maybe he will make the treck from California.

Well we have 17 today and I know of 8 more that should go so this looks to be a good turnout. Wayne would be make 26. So I would get a bye in 2nd round. !!!!

FYI In an attempt for the Islanders to keep up with the Krazy Kajuns they have bought a bad azz hot rod. The only time I ever had a win against that car was when it rolled the beams and went red. Still out performed me in ET. New sheriff in town and lives on an island. LOL

Would that car happen to have 3 pedals in it? Need to get my entry in!

Somebody want a new Holt AH Cuda car with a Reher Morrison motor for a fraction of the cost, call Ben Holt.

Up to 22 cars, should be fun!

I looked at the Indy schedule and it doesn't show times for the Hemi challenge. I heard they changed the schedule times.
Does anyone have the new schedule?

Friday. Parade at 9AM, photo shoot to follow and then 5 rounds of eliminations
