I got back to the track on Oct the 20th but for some reason could not post on here since early Oct I have not been able to get this site to come up on my computer. It started working last night and I have no idea why or why it was not working as everything else did.
But now it does so this is good. I drove my 63 the 45 miles to the track on Oct 20th and met my brother and some friends as we all raced in a NSS class. I had a great time as I have not raced in almost 2 years and to race in competition and not go home a first round loser was alot of fun. The car ran great and never missed a beat. And I never lifted the hood while racing.
My best et 2 years ago was 10.76 and I matched it 3 times that day ! My first time run was a 10.81 as it spun a tad but it hooked good the rest of the day and ran 10.76 on the next time run and both rounds I raced in it also ran 10.76. Yes it ran 10.76 3 passes in a row ! Pretty consisdent for a street car with just SS springs. My first round competition was a 69 Roadrunner dailed 10.30 as I dailed 10.75. I hit an .088 lite to his .068 but I ran 10.76 on my 10.75 to his 10.34 on his 10.30 so I got him by a bit.
The second round I end up getting my brother in his 9 second Cuda. He runs 9.32 on his 9.29 and of course I run 10.76 on my 10.75 but he killed me on the lites to beat me as I hit a .078 lite but he got a nice .012 and I could not make up the difference at the other end. My brother races alot more then me so I figured he would cut better lites then me but I did ok for a guy a little rusty and not racing in almost 2 years. But I had a blast as nothing broke and the car ran great and my brother and I an our 2 buddies running in the NSS class all won in the first round.
Technically I ran a new best as I had run 10.765 and I ran a best of 10.763. One thing for sure it does like to run 10.76. This pic is a time run with a nice 65 Plymouth who is a buddy of mine. As always I raced thru the full exh on 92 pump. Ron
