Seen this on the 'Bullet this morning and thought it was interesting although a bit dated. Nice to see a Mopar in there.
Anyone have an updated list for the Top 10 Quickest Leaf Spring cars? Only thing I could find was this 2019 list from Leaf Spring Racing Unlimited’s Facebook page. I know of a few cars that have been quicker than some of these cars on the list and have complied a list myself, I would like to compare notes.
1. Terry Parks 70 Nova Single Turbo BBC 4.04
2. Lyle Barnett 69 Dart BB Single Turbo 4.139
3. Johnny Coleman 69 Camaro F3 BBC 4.19
4. Ryan Milliken "Turbo Diesel Chevy II" 4.28
5. Ron Rhodes 68 Camaro SBC NOS 4.32
6. Dan Kinzie Procharged SBC Chevy II 4.361
7. Brandon Fugler 69 Camaro F3 BBC 4.36
8. DJ Reid Camaro SB Vortech 4.405
9. Kevin Wallauer Camaro SBC Procharger 4.408
10. Jeff Plemmons Nova BB NOS 4.410
Feel free to add any known updates. If it gets updated on the 'Bullet, I'll post that.
Master, again and still

Rhodes seems to be the guy doing it routinely.
Would be interesting to know what traction devices each car is using.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
