My 1966 dart race car.

Its been awhile since I have posted but as life goes its been busy. We went to Wild Horse pass January 15-17 to race in the first race of the NHRA Heritage series. Friday was a great day I went a 9.999 on accident and when I got my time slip they said nothing. So I went a 9.95 and when I got my ticket still nothing. Now time to see what I could do with this set up. Best time 9.89 at 134.7mph. Not bad for a street legal car. I found out later that they had the computer off and were just letting people roll with it. Car was running great and all was well in the world.

Saturday we got three squirts down the track I was running well into the nines so I found a a spot on the track and would dump at that point. It worked very well with a 10.01, 10.03, 10.02 at 124mph ha ha ha.

Sunday we "Hot Rod" is always first out on the track, I set my dial in at 10.00 and first round bing-o-bang-o. I won. Second round won a again. Third round and the final ten I am first up and when they tell us to fire up all is good. I draw right lane and I roll into the burn-out box. I push hard on the brakes and push the line lock, but this time I have a different feeling. Fluid is pouring onto my left foot. Sweeeet. I start pumping that ***** and push the line lock I barely get a burn out and when I am rolling up to the line ZERO brakes. Since this is a street car I still have an E-brake. I stage the the car using the e-brake push the trans brake. But I took to big of a bite out of the tree and bammm RED LIGHT OF DEATH. So I run it out just to see what would have happened and yeah I went a 10.01. Stopping on the big end was no big deal as this is a national track and had the smoothest shut down area with a nice sweeping turn to the left. It was a little dicey as the tire were barking around the corner but all was well. All in all the weekend was good and now looking to replace the Master cylinder. Not mad this one lasted 12 years under fender headers. Next race is in a few weeks Match Race Madness stuff. Heads up racing.
