Md	My brother went to the Mopar show and race at Virginia Motor Sports raceway and ended up winning the footbrake non-electronics class. He said he went about 5 or 6 rounds and had some good lights and the right luck to get a by run one round. He did say he had two .00 lites and he needed them as his opponent also had a .00 lite in one of them rounds. He said he was dailed his slowest so far this year as he ran from a 10.08 to about a 10.14 when it spun a tad. He had been running low 10.0's and 9.90's most of the year. But its his second win this year along with two runner ups he has had in the NSS racing as he has been racing the NSS class at Acto in New Jersey most of this year. But it was a good day racing for him at the Mopar race in Virginia taking the win and winning some cash. But not a good day for his Dodge truck he tows with as the rear diff gave him big trouble going home as he had to stop a few times and add fluid to the rear as it melted the ABS sensor and fill plug and even after he did on the road repairs they still leaked some fluid. Seems the ring and pinion gave problems and got very hot. But he made it the 200 plus miles home. Ron

He is running a B-block 511 combo. I got to remember as he has changed it a few times the last few years as I think he now has the big EZ heads on this combo and he changed the Mod Man intake as he is running an Indy single plane with a Dominator. Its a roller an I honestly forget the specs but I believe its about .680 lift and around 280 @ .050 but I gotta ask as he made some changes last winter and he told me all the new specs but my memory is not as good as it used to be. I tell you a few years back 5 guys could tell me their cam specs and I would remember them all and now I cant even remember my brothers specs. It is an 11.5 comp eng but I dont remember who's pistons. He runs a 727 with I believe a Dynamic converter thats around a 5200 and he is foot braking the car. Dana out back with 4.88's and 32 x 14 tires. I believe he said it weighs about 3400 lbs without him in the car. Ron
