Dominic,
If the Dart does not run the number your looking for, don't sell it, just replace more steel body panels with fiberglass and get the weight out of the car.

2QUICK4U, I hope you`re wrong.......my buddy Kevin just called me about Fontucky but that track is a crap shoot as far as the wind/weather for me so far but if sat. doesn`t work out, I`ll be there.

I'd say throw a can of " Motor Honey" in there and you'll be running low 9's in no time..... ...of course...always remember to adjust your dual wave dipsticks before each pass. If you run the style with chromium sliders, you need an oscilliscope, but I am guessing you may only be running the standard mild steel version?... Good luck and go knock it down !

I'm not going to guess, just say that any car that does low tens is WAAAAAY fast. Don't be disappointed if you don't hit your goal, it's still an awesome car.

I`ve heard good and bad things about that fuel but I just got a 5-gal. pail of trick along w/my special pump gas/110 mix. My tune is damn near ideal Bob so we`ll see how it runs. Have you been keeping tabs on the weather? Still looks a bit shady to me but who knows.
Ask Jason about Q16. It's like N2O in a can. Weather for Saturday looks golden. Sunday looks dicey still.
