Well, I got smart and hired (for free, except we split 1/2 the winnings) a driver for my DART at last weekends NHRA California Hot Rod ReUnion.
Car ran a best of [email protected] during eliminations.
(Remember this is a pretty mild motor...440" .030 over for 446", 570 lift flat tappet cam, 11-1 Ross Pistons, 904 Iron Heads ported to 290cfm, Edelbrock 440 Single Plane Intake, 750 Holley, 2" fender well headers, Old School Mopar Chrome Box Ignition.)
But...it performs well at a little under 3000lbs.
Went 4 rounds to the Semi, lost to the guy who went on to win our AFX class in the next round.
All in all, it was a great weekend. I drove the car for 2 hits during qualifying runs...then turned it over to my "shoe".

Sorry for double picture.
 
I drove right by there on the 99 last Saturday heading home, didn’t realize it was going on
 
Congrats Mike!
What gears you running in that thing?
 
Nice going in that cool Dart. She is pretty light at under 3000 pounds which is good. Ron
