Pics from your season. - 12/05/14 07:25 PM

Ok its winter and its slow so I am messing around with some pics from the one time I did make it to the track and finally got some pics and video of my brother and me racing each other. We started going to the drag strip in the 70's as I first took my 66 Dart 273 to the track in 1974 and shifted my 4 speed to 15.0's !! Well this is the first time in all the years my brother and I have raced that we got to race each other in a time run and get some pics and video of it. We did race once last year as I ran his 68 tube frame Cuda in eliminations. But I wanted some pics of his 64 which he races in Nostalgic SuperStock and my 63 which I ran in the NSS class also in October. We both really like the NSS racing alot as we love the cars from that era that we grew up in so it was nice to get his 64 and my 63 together looking just about like they would have 50 years ago. Well I am messing around taking some pics off the video my niece took as I was stopping the video and taking some pics with my digital camera. But they did not turn out so good. But I would enjoy seeing pics of your cars racing this season so I was hoping you all will post some pics since we wont be racing or driving our cars much for a few months hear on the east coast. I tried to get this pic right as my brother and I launched. I caught the cars about when I wanted to but pics dont turn out so good taking them that way. But I would love to see racing pics from everyone's season as I do enjoy pics of Mopars racing. Ron

The highlight of my "season" was FINALLY getting the front suspension done on this heap and was checking front end ride height. Is that sad, or what??

Might get around to a motor this winter and all of the small stuff that I need to do.

I had a good season. 3 wins, 3 RU's, 5 semi-finals, and a top 5 finnish in Sportsman at Bristol. Also, one of my engines (541ci RB) won the track championship in footbrake at Cherokee Raceway (IHRA track, Rogersville, Tn). Nice season indeed!

2014 was another fun year with lots of racing with my highlight seeing Matt win on Saturday at the Curt George Memorial race at Quaker City. I ran a couple of "new bests" so that keeps me satisfied. Really looking forward to a new better 408 in my Duster for 2015 and running some heads up stuff in the new Duster. Matt is switching out his 360 engine that ran 10.50's to a higher compression 408 build that we are gathering parts for. A couple of action shots of my Duster at Pittsburgh Raceway Park.







And one from the Curt George Memorial Race at Quaker.

Here is one of my dad doing a shake down pass with his fresh built 65. Notice the sand pouring out from the wheel wells. We told him not to media blast that dam car. When he came back to the pits he yelled at me and said I gave him a bad chassis setup..... Father knows best I guess.

Congrats on the 9 second run Ange, I didn`t see you a lot this year, I heard NETO might add an 11.50 index class so you might see me a lot more next year.
Posted By: 11secdart

Re: Pics from your season. - 12/06/14 06:58 PM

I had a pretty good year, the first points half wasn`t so great but I managed to have a better second half finishing second in half points and qualifying for the NED Bracket Finals for the 8th time were I broke out second round and I didn`t go red. This year I decided to try something different : My close friend is real good at deep staging and a pro tree so I put him in the Dart to run the 11.50 index class at Raceway Park and the result was: we Won 3 races out of 6 and Won the Points championship. with him driving and me doing the stop settings, air pressure and tuning we turned out to be a pretty good team and we are looking forward to next year and some more index races at RP and me running Street points at Island. The coolest part of the season was being able to race at the E Town National meet in front of thousands of people as part of the 11.50 index exhibition , the response of the fans to my car ( including Roy Johnson ) was something I will never forget and one of the highlights of my racing career

my season was trying to learn the reaction time as i have thousands of passes on motorcycles and not this car.
i go to the street car races at numidia pa and run outlaw for 30 bucks to learn and get my ass kicked.
my reaction times are better to the point i'm excited for next season.
i got quick fuel 2 circuit plates for my dominator to tune the the lean spot at 6200. i wish the season was longer in pa.

We had a lot of fun this year. Being at the track with old friends and making new ones was a big part of the good times.
The car went a little faster or quicker every time out, and we reached the goal of a 5 sec. et. that we had hoped for.
Looking forward to more "Good Times" next year.

Amongst other cars, i had the Dart out and ran a new pb 10.14 at 132.88 with a lousy 1.47 60 ft but on another run that day got a 1.36 but overevved it to a 10.16, if i'd got it right it would have been at least a 10.0.

Re: Pics from your season. - 12/09/14 06:31 AM

Been a long road back. Duster hadn't seen a track since 2012. I "adopted" the ride from my dad as he retired from racing. The W8 build had been slow going so we fitted the old iron headed stock stroke KB piston 360 between the frame rails as a "plan B" if the W8 gives us too much grief. We attended a few bracket races in the spring and ran a best of 10.909 with that engine. Would have been better if it had it's matching 904 trans and a 56 gear, but the old 727 and converter from the W5 era had to fit the bill. After 4 or 5 points races we were up to third, but after Mopars at The Strip the car came back apart to continue the W8 quest..... still trying to seal that deal!

Only got out a few times this year but had a great time at Mopars at the Strip. Decided to jump in to AFX/NSS last minute and made it to the finals in against Mike McCallum(Old Reliable). Had to dial time in quarter seconds. Best it would run was 10.59 so had to dial back to 10.75. Didn't want to mess with rigging a throttle stop or adding weight to slow car so, I fender raced 'em at the end. Got extremely lucky first round doing that and ran a 10.75 with a Zero on a 10.75 dial, see pic. First time racing a pro light too...

This is kind of a crazy picture from the mopar race at MIR in October. My cousin snapped this and didn't get the whole car. I've been trying to get in touch with the track photographer to get the whole picture. Needless to say. We need to tame the whole shot a bit. The car set the '60 at a 1.48 with the back tires.

I did not get to go to track much this year,someone stole my new car trailer last winter. I drove to the track for a couple test and tunes and ran a best of 6.29 @ 109 with a 1.33 60 ft. I upgraded the fuel system from a stock mechanical pump with 3/8 rubber lines and a 950 carb to a Magnafuel electric pump, -10 fuel lines and a ProSystems 1050 and drove back to track the last time I went. I was hoping for a new best and I went from hooking with the old setup to making 4 passes with the upgrade with zero traction. It would not hook at all. I hope it was spinning because it was making more power. I will have another trailer before next year and I can not wait to see if I can run some 6.teens.You can see in the picture it was hooking before the fuel system upgrade and 1050.

Pump gas small block....

First full season with the new car, at least full for me. I made 5 Mopar events. I was lucky enough to win the Sunday NSS at the Monster Mopar Weekend at KilKare. Couldn't have done it without the help of some great friends and special thanks to John McClellan, Noel & Barb Cooke, Peanut and Nick Wilson at Compu-Flow.

Struggled the 1st half of the season with stiff sidewall slicks, switched to regular side walls and managed to finish 3rd in points in the NM Mopar Challenge series. I'm in the red Dakota, and I won this round.



Battled all day in the Mopars against the World race, made it to the top six only to break out by .0004 to the eventual winner. But I did go home with some Chicken money.



My truck likes regular sidewalls....

Had a great time this year racing. Car ran good with no major issues. Looking forward to the spring and a new season. Not really doing anything special to it through the winter.

Blew up the torqueflight which ruined my shop truck and broke 5 bones in my right foot. Other than that not a bad year. 17 finals, 9 Wins and 8 R/U finishes. Won Pro and Super/Pro on the same day, twice, this year in the LeBaron

4 of our 7 national championship meetings were rained off. We bust the crown wheel at the 2nd meeting, we also hurt the 'box some and with only 2 weeks to fix it before the next meeting.
With the help of friends here (England) and in the USA we fixed it with time to spare. We ended up 9th in the National Championship our best ever finish.
We also got to the semifinals in a one off Nostalgia, loosely based on Super stock, series. All in all we had a real good time and we're really looking forward to 2015 with the new motor combo

Re: Pics from your season. - 12/14/14 05:15 PM

Had a major engine rebuild for us this year. Old Mopar heads finally bit the bullet. Re-built the short block & added a set of 440-1's from Bob George racing. Kept things pretty much the same otherwise. Made it out 1 time on the new combo was about 1 1/2 tenths off so far. Need some tuning & new learning curve for them I guess.
Thanks, Ken

How about a video?

My car is right in front of the camera 15 seconds in and again @ 5.18 in the far lane (1st round win on a double breakout). Lots of other Moparts members in the video too, probably worth sitting through for a few minutes.

The aluminum 572 proved to be a little light on the front end, here it is coming down at 60' or just hitting 2nd when it went up again before coming down at 100' out so wheelie bars went on after this...
