Decided to go to Magnolia Drag Strip to make some 1/8 mile passes after making some changes on the Duster. I installed a new tranny, 10pt cage with 2x3 frame connectors and new tires and wheels. A few days ago I drove the car back an forth on a side street and all was fine. Sunday I went to back out of the garage but I had no reverse. Dang now what.......... The whole family was ready to go racing so I loaded up the Belvedere. What a great day it turned out to be. I went four rounds and went out by breaking out by .02. Not a bad day after all for a street car through full exhaust and street tires. I didn't even check the air pressure.

Thanks Russ we had a great time. Unfortunately when I drained the fluid today there were metal savings. Butch

way to go Butch i all ways liked your 65. I don't think i have ever seen your duster what does it run? butch if you don't mind me asking who did your 10 point cage and how much did it cost you? you can pm me if that is better for you. i ask this because i am going to have to put a 10 point cage in my dart before i bring it to norwalk this September.thanks Bobby
