2009, new best 1/4 mile time 12.56, 60 ft 1.695, new 1/8 mile 7.99.
Only change was a set of 1.6 crane roller rockers.
Just installed Super Stock Springs to hopefully get the car off the line a little quicker.
Still looking for the perfect run.

Rulez, nice to see you found the sight, you will find this place to be a little more friendly than collector car nation. Mostly Mopars, the way it should be.

Very nice car. Oh wait, I have driven it, trust me I would know first hand that my fathers car runs 12.67 in the quarter mile, I was the one to get the time first. He finally caught up to me and got a 12.67 time 3 weeks later. So for any none believers, here is your back up proof, and if thats still not enough, go to St.Thomas Dragway website and check out me and my dads times. thanks.

Justin, I am sure you are aware the vehicle is identified by the number it is given when it is teched in. This number identifys the vehicle for the day and is also on the timeslip with the e.t. the car ran that day.

Nice ride, don't you wish they would print the make/model or even plate # of the car on the time slips to authenticate. Maybe put the slip in a large book for a lil while to make it legible.

Thanks for the complement on my car Tom. I just checked out yours and its absolutely beautiful. Its interesting to meet someone who has own their car for as long as I
have. Its only then that it becomes so much more than a car but rather a part of the family. Looking back at all the good times I had in my car when I was younger,( and trouble) Looking at pictures of my then little two and three year old girls who are now in their twenties. Its a nice feeling, one you can only realize from owning a car that long. Hope you have many more years to enjoy.   Bob

I just want to say thank-you for the generious rating someone gave our car, we have owned this car since 1978 and we, [my wife & I] have been through a lot over the yrs. with this Mopar.
It has been a part of our life and we are thankful for the good times we have had with her.
To know someone else appreciates our effort is great.

Special Thanks.

Thanks very much, we actually had the car out today and went a best of 12.67 with a best ever 60 ft. time of 1.70, guess the combo likes the new converter.
