Sure-Grip- kaput.

After a few weeks building a new,custom set of headers, I got the Dart back to the track to see if it was all worth it, and was treated to 3/10's e.t. improvement, and 4 mph!!! 3/10's in the eighth is big fo me!! But- the freebie 3.91 Sure-Grip I scored off my donor van is in its last pass death throes! But, I figured out a cool way to get both tires to spin in the water box! Spin the bejeeezuz outta them right in the waterbox mud, then let 'er rip and pray it stops before you cross over staging beams.!! It was quite spectacular, even for me in the drivers seat:

A phone call to a good friend has produced out of mothballs a complete, ready to drop in Mark Williams lightened full-race spool in a 489 case with a set of 4.30 gears. Excuse me whilst I wipe the drool off my mouth. I cannot wait to get this installed now. I can't even get into third on the 1/8th with these big, tall 30" tires. 4.30's might do the trick for some wheelstands,

Hey Dale, let us know next time you are going to Irwindale. I would love to catch up with you out there. I want to see that thing run.

Thank You!

Nice car! What times are you running? Man I need to make it back to the track one of these days.

8.13 @85mph. Not the most impressive, but, you have to start from somewhere. Its a benchmark.

find some 4.57 to 5.13 gears if youre gonna stay on the 1/8then you can use third
