Truck went to the track but what a day.. Punctured a slick while putting it on the trailer, truck was running 15.1 with 2.8 60foots and odd pressure snow tires, quick change to timing and air pressure, truck ran a 14.6 with a 2.4 60ft the stock q jet wasn't keeping up and the truck was starving for fuel on the top end and off the line, too much wheel spin, then on the 12th pass I was 2 lengths on a 71 challenger and it broke 2 rods, the next day the motor was out and stripped but hey that's racing it's all part of the game  next ones gonna be a 500 with a newer block and forged rod piston combo

I know that game too well. We play it on Saturday nights on the short track. Different rules but same game. Luckily we have been 2 years without having to bring the car home in a heap.

Give me a long enough lever and a place to stand, and I shall move the earth or break this bolt...Whatever, just hold my beer!

Bummer about the broken motor. How high do you take it before shifting? Times are getting there nicely; where is your track located?

5200 rpm but I should of been shifting earlier, more torque at around 4800, was all wheel spin and it was starving for gas with the quadrajet right off the line, could of been an easy 13.4 motor
