Re: Monster MoPar Update

We had a great time at the monster mopar weekend.  The track
conditions changed continuously and I was busy chasing the track with
different engine and chassis tuneups.  Friday evening produced the
best results with my car running 10.09 sec @ 133 MPH.  My brother said
that I carried the front wheels for 20 feet.
I went a couple rounds in the ten-0 shoot out, and I made it to the
quarter finals in the trophy class (80+ cars) before I turned on the
red light.  One memorable moment was when I raced a '72 duster that
had an 18.46 dial compared to my 10.12 dial.  It was hard to sit that
long and wait for the tree to be activated on my side.  I cut a
respectable .044 light and caught sight of the duster after my 1-2
shift.  I thought to myself 'I will never catch this guy' as he was
beyond half track while I was less then 100' out.  The 2-3 shift
pushed me back in the seat and the motor pulled hard.  It was then
that I realized how fast I was reeling in the duster.  I flew past him
right after the beginning of the speed trap (~60' before the end of
the 1/4 mile).
Another highlight was to watch the nostalgic super stock racing were
most of the cars are '62-'65 mopars.  These guys are hardcore racers
and I would recommend going to one of these events.
