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!

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.

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.
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.38@138.67
Livin and lovin life one day at a time

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.
