This season I went back to my old footbrake Duster, ran Pro Bracket at local track. Last year I retired and set a budget for racing, 12 races at local track, no travel, and new set of slicks. I only made it past the third round once all year, there are a lot of sharks racing at this track. Made 59 runs, had no breakage. Had a lot of fun just keeping it real simple, will do the same next year.
Won 19 rounds
Lost 17 rounds
Best ET 1/8th mile 6.503
Best ET 1/4 mile 10.310
Car is '72 Duster, ladder bar, 4.86 gear, 29 X 12.5 tire, pump gas 440 with Eddie heads, 727 manually shifted, weighs 2950 with driver.

Its brutal these days. I struggled this year. The thousandths just never seemed to fall my way. I'm thinking I might try something new next year. You are 1 that I usually expect to go a lot farther than me. Lol Keep up the good work
71 demon stock stroke 440/indy ez-1 running 10.10 @ 132.14 mph in the 1/4 and 6.36 @ 107.46 mph in the 1/8 not in the same weekend but It did it then I sold it.
67 Belvedere that worked it's way in the 10's
