Thanks Mike! It will go down the track! Just with another driver in it. New front shocks and dropping about 200# off the car should help!

I sometimes wish that Florida had a longer "off-season"!

1) New engine for the Dart Sport on engine stand for several months.

2) Been wanting to check my ring & pinion for the last year.

3) Car needs new SS springs, but still working ok.

4) Needs front end alignment checked.

5) 2004 Dodge diesel dually w/135,000 miles still has original antifreeze, belt and hoses and I'd like to get the valves checked.

6) Been slowly working on an NHRA Stock Aspen wagon, but engine not ready and needs work to fit new fuel cell and weight box. Then testing for the first time with a TQ!



I went to Gainesville during the first weekend of Jan. and only won a couple of rounds.

IHRA divisional double header in Immokalee, FL in early Feb. Only won a few rounds but tied for 4th with 2 others in Div. 2 Stock.

Big footbrake race in Virginia couple of weeks ago, but only won a few rounds.

Super Chevy @ Palm Beach, FL. Southern Stock/Super Stock Association was invited to race there. Went a few rounds Sat. & won on Sunday.

Too much "stuff" going on in everyday life to do everything I need to even when I have a few weeks between races.

Getting there. Just finished rebuilding my clutch. Changing some clutch linkage stuff around. Also replaced heims in my 4 link bars and new bars.
Have spent a bunch of time redoing some trim. And still need new tires. Thinking I might try some MT's instead of my phoenix's.
Time flies.

Both the Jrs are just about ready. Didn't really need to do much to em this winter.

However, for the first time since 2011 it looks like I will be able to get my charger back out. Have a trip to Summit Racing planned for Thurs evening to get the rest of what we need to get everything ready and with any luck I can 3 of the 4 cars out for the spring warm up on the 18th.

Forgot, Recert car on the 11th. Beep

Just did chassis cert at Milan last Sunday replaced belts and window net, renewed license, oil change/filter and checked lash now i just have to loose some weight.

Engine is dummied in the new small tire car and I'm waiting on a call to deliver it to get headers made.




Checked main bearing clearance and installed the crank in my 408 today and got the thrust bearing clearance set. This one will be done this week and ready to go in my bracket car. I also dropped off the parts to get the assembly balanced for the 360 I am building for Matts Duster. Should be going together next week.

I have Friday off. Putting the 64 on the hoist. Pulling the trans to inspect and adding a new super sprag. The stock 65 part has survived but now that the 60 ft has dropped into the 1.2X it's days are probably numbered especially w/o a LBA valve body. Going to pull the pan check the bearings. pop the rear end cover and inspect the gear. Hopefully the rest hangs together until the fall for a 300 pass freshen up.

Oh ya the Cummins needs a head gasket
