71 Duster 360 (new project)

what a long painful weekend....

well..sundays night eliminations 1st round.....daughter launches in second gear....she is toast...lol

ok...so on to saturdays elimination...on sunday night.....one time run the car runs 11.77...

first round last sunday night...Christin is going to run a nova dial in at 12.47...well..we end up waiting due to a car breaking on the track...the guy changes his dial in to 12.51....

so he takes off first...the Duster coughs and dies 5 feet pass the starting line..the Nova never looks back and runs a 12.47...and breaks out...the starter come over to the car as we get it refired...and says you guys won..he broke out...

back in the pits...i find the negetative wire on the coil loose and fall out of the crimp...while fixing that one the postivie wire fall out too...dam...

So now we have to come back on Monday....to finish Saturday race..the guy with the nova is there as no one told him he lost....his time slips says he won cause they reset the clocks before the duster made it down the track...and we confirmed it with the tower before going home that night that she was the winner.

she launches..and goes down the track then we see smoke...and the clean up trucks are rolling...LOL
