started the duster today
I have a list of things that need to get done on her and no time or money to do them. She's not broke. Just needs a tad more big dollar items under the hood and light weight coil over suspension .
I was considering selling the car minus the motor and trans at one time. But my son wants the car. I keep the car in the race trailer and happy its there.
Years back I had a Demon like this Duster. Sounded just like it. I sold it to a friend who left his son drive it. He lost his son that day.
My son Has been dirt racing since he could walk up into a sprint car. I didn't want to go through what my friend went through. The only thing his son drove before the Demon was a Bicycle.
My son is now in his 30's. I still worry when he takes the Duster out.
This car will hit the 9000 rpm rev limiter in 3rd. The gears are 4.56-1 the tires are 29's. do the MPH math here-- Calculate GEAR, RPM, MPH, TIRE DIAMETER
Add the 5500 stall converter with tires and suspension that never hook the car up = a recipe for desaster.
sorry for the long answer. You asked why it sits? This is why.
Posting these photos may save a life. There were two people in this Demon. It got away from him on a long straight . He hit the only thing in the field . He just shifted second to drive when he lost it. you could follow the marks right off the road. The rock was about 50 ft into the feild.
