We had a bad pass and only went 8.44. Decided to hit the road as its boiling out. On our way to Darlington SC. I believe we are currently 2nd in class. I'm gonna work on the tuneup a bit and Matt is gonna make a small adjustment. Should be good to go tomorrow. 252 mile trek underway in the hottest, loudest car there is lol.

Any word on how that hurricane will affect the weather in Darlington? The SC coast apparently is under a mandatory evacuation order.

Darlington should be OK as far as weather tomorrow. Not supposed to start seeing anything off the storm until Wednesday evening.

I'm planning on being out there in the morning...hopefully stay nearly all day, but may get called back for work due to the storm.

It was way cool watching you motor that beast down the track. Syncing 8 carbs must require serious patience. wrench

Brian Kuhlman with the nitro 31 Chrysler (KB hemi) is out, torched a head.

We're still in, car is not running right on the strip, but doing fine on the road trip end of it.

The weather situation is getting interesting. Hope we can make the rest of the trip ok. NC is getting a bit wacky right now.

I was there on a vacation with my family on saturday, took some pics wile walking around the hotels with my beer case. Then on sunday, I had the idea of taking pics of every car present. However, with my schedules, ability etc. only decided to take pics of mopars. Either with M drivetrain or otherwise. Probably couldn't catch even all of them. Link below..., I'm NOT a photographer. Had fun for a couple of hours meeting people and talking about their cars, maybe next year back with a car...
