Update from my Friends (sorry its a FORD)
Nathan Chesler 1 hr · 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.
Well inexperience bit my buddy in the butt with last years class winning Mustang. His 8.44 pass on Monday did some transmission damage that showed its ugly face today. Tuesdays 7.65 was a nice 2nd day but now I guess it will be trailered home. Bummer.
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27
Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Billy Just had a spin in the rain, he is good and probably back on the road by now. Today's route was pretty nuts, not long but CURVY with lots of grade changes. My car has a 4.10 rear gear and I spent a lot of time in 2nd gear for climbing and engine braking.

Some people just don't have the room for them. I have room so I swap on my pro bracket radials at the track and run my Cooper Cobras on the road sections. Its a pain to put tires on and off twice a day but when we have heavy rain like we had monday its well worth it.
