Go for it. Use the Dual Quad Duster!
I'd love to, but we've got a race booked with Hoosier Garage and his '72 shorty van against ours, so I'll be bringing the Shorty van to the NoNameNationals

What's the wife driving out there?
Who says you can't race Dartfreak with the van.
The van is a known combo, his is yet to be determined.
Kendog 170
Let the boy go !
Well, racing him with the van is the plan. But, you have your van's mixed up! This isn't the "Van of War" that's heading down to Sikeston, this is the 318 2bbl shorty van, maybe the slowest vehicle in our entire fleet !!!! (well, it might take down the Rambler... LOL
)
Lord willing, I'll be there! If it's heads up, I'm in a world of hurt. It's a 1/8 mile track and I'm going to be happy if I get into the 12's with our '77 shorty!

Restore it, Dont part it!
You are are 100 percent correct. This car has never made a pass. Im hoping to get it at the local track and get it dialed in before sept.
Ok, let's get this out. This is the reason I'm bringing the Van. I have a race booked with the guy in this video, the Hoosier Garage Shorty Van.

Two atmospheres are better than one
Yea but 12s in the 1/8th with a chick sleeping in the back and your buddy drinking a beer riding shotgun make it worth it!!!Lord willing, I'll be there! If it's heads up, I'm in a world of hurt. It's a 1/8 mile track and I'm going to be happy if I get into the 12's with our '77 shorty!

I think heads up ill stand a little bit of a chance not much but a little chance. You are saying 12s im betting low 11s id say my car is high 10s as it sets just guessing like I said its never made a pass.
Naw, You'll have to mess up pretty bad to go 10's. I think sorted out and with traction, you are deep in the 8's, and maybe a chance at 7.99. Even if you don't have it all sorted by then, I think low 9's with ease. *IF I go low 11's with the van, you gonna see me jump, so have your camera ready !!

Traction is gonna be the key. I was measuring for tires yesterday. Right now I have 215s and the spin pretty much at will lol I wish now I would have went ahead and did the spring relocation.Naw, You'll have to mess up pretty bad to go 10's.

Do any of these "call-outs" ever result in an actual race?
NoNameNationals is a scheduled race at Sikeston, Mo, Sept 30/Oct 1. I mean, it could be rained out or we could be under some government lock down, or some other unforeseen circumstance. However, it's scheduled and hundreds of racers will be there. I'm already registered.
By the way, this event is good for FABO. Lots of talk around this site from racers that are members here attending there. Like DF75 (trying to get there) and myself, whose already registered.
I went low 11s with a bone stock 87 Thunderbird 5.0 automatic on 215/75 r14 tires. Dartfreak75 should be in the 9s, or 10.0 range if it gets any traction.
