What is everyone's 2021 racing goals for the year? Post a picture of your car, and tell us what your goals, and upgrades you have done.

Myself, I just want to dial in the car, and top my 9.72 best, AND make it past first round. I sent off my McLeod Soft Lok clutch to Cale Aronson, at Black Magic clutches, and had it rebuilt. My 499 is at the machinist getting new bearings, and rings. Wasn't really tired, but the long block has been together since 2003.

Lets hear em!

Go faster than 8.91.

Ummmmm to find a new car and make a pass before years end

.......AND make it past first round ??!!

jX .... do you do THIS for fun or the potential glory ?

Me thimks I’ll start a separate topic ...

I have one more track to visit in PA, and then I will have raced at every active track in Pennsylvania. Bonus points if I can win at least two rounds there, as I have at all the others. I also set a goal every year of racing at one new track out of state that I have never been to, I was able to add two tracks to that list last year.

The other big goal is finally finishing my Super Stock car. Hoping to have it ready for mid-summer.

I have raced for 26yrs and am 42yrs old. Ran it with a 430sb NA,59 degree, injected on alky, went 9.30@144@3185lbs. I got my w8, f2 deal In finally and has been more than complete nightmare for the past 4yrs. Enough that I have just parked it for a couple yrs and ran my daily driver 69, 340, 4spd dart that runs 12s. So much more fun. I’m way deep into the efi swap as we speak so I can hopefully enjoy it again. I’m a do it yourself person so I take pride in it all. Hopefully it will be fun this yr again.

Yeah Doc, 2020 was a bad year. Broke the car every time I took it out. That happens when you actually have a race car. Go blow smoke up someone else’s a$$.

Finishing up my new 408 as we speak to replace the 422 that has been in my black duster for five years. Indy headed 422 went 5.98 in the 1/8th mile and 9.42 in the 1/4. Hoping the new moved pushrod Edelbrock headed 408 runs 6.0’s and 9.50-9.60’s. My 572 is in my blue heads up duster and bolted to a 1.69 low gear powerglide I built. It needs fuel lines made, wired, etc so hopefully it’s ready to go by June.

jX ....NO NEED to be so grumpy

... and I’m not blowing smoke ...

No pics. I've tried and get them to post. However, I'm looking for a genuine wheels up launch, thanks to the new A1 converter that should arrive shortly. and somewhere around (1/8 mile) 7.00-7.2, with a few more MPH. 96-98, I'm thinking. (69 Dart, 360.)

Racing is a very difficult sport. At least in my thinking. It only takes one small thing to completely wreck your plan to go racing. Imagine your driving down the road and some driver cuts you off and your car gets damaged past the point of being repaired and your done for maybe a year or 2. Then what if you built your engine and a part ended up not being heat treated correctly or a part was a cheap chinese knock off and took your engine out. Then what if you got water in your oil and couldn't figure out what was causing it. Small things detrimental effects.
That being said I will probably do back flips if my bucket of bolts would just make a pass under power. Just saying. Birdtracker

If yours breaks Jeff you can always drive mine! Now that you have it figured out!

Get my street car to run at least a 9.99. It did a 10.01 on the last pass of last season.

New Viking Crusader shocks, tires and front wheels this year.

Just get to the track and make some passes.

I would like to get the roll bar in my car so I can legally and safely go 10.50 in street trim. Gonna have to master Tig welding so it looks presentable and strong .

Jeff it looks like Norwalk is a go this year are we going to see you there?

Not really doing much to the car. Hoping to go big bucks racing this year and not break the car in the staging lanes..........

I want to do some more bracket racing, I hardly raced at all last year or the year before for that matter.

My car is super heavy for what it is and I have decided to just deal with it. I enjoy the stock seats way to much and I have put my super heavy folding backseat back in so we can cruise it around as a family once I get some good belts for the back seat to keep the 7 year old in.

Current best is 10.54 with a 1.4160ft at its lowest weight of 3550lbs. I would like it to see 10.30s at that same weight after my cam change. Its making more power but the starting line hasn't been my friend so that will be a focus because this thing would normally hook in a car wash lol. What Data I have says it should run 10.40s right now if I could get the starting line figured back out.

The new cam is from Comp's "low shock" line and the tech at comp said the RPM peak would be whatever my cylinder heads could support so that should be interesting. Trying to wring all I can from the premium 91 octane race fuel I run.

Points start in two weeks would like to go some rounds in Sportsman Eliminator, run some more 11.50 index races including Cecil Countys Strange Street Car Shootout , go some rounds in my truck at South Mountains Mopar race in conjunction with Chryslers at Carlisle, hope to have my friend Win Bracket 3 at Island Dragways Mopars at the Patch driving my truck for the forth year in a row
