12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

Moparty 2022, day 3, Speed stop.

Speed stop is an acceleration and braking event. It's a standing start with a U-turn, then stop in a box of cones without hitting 1. The cone box is about 20x40, so imagine pulling into your garage at 50-60mph and stopping before crashing out the back of it. This is a fast paced event. My runs were in the 12 second range and after you do the left turn side, you immediately go to the right turn side. I made 10 runs and decided that was enough. I'm sure I could have made some time improvements, but I wanted to get the car loaded and start my 9 hour drive home. Here's some pictures from Sunday. Yes, that 4 door Acclaim (or whatever it is) is in front of me. I'm sure he can floor that thing in wet grass and it won't spin the tire. I was having to slip the clutch to prevent ridiculous tire spin.

Nice!!!

Question, how do the cars with carburetors fare in this event? Do they all have modified vent tubes? Just curious, I know that with my unmodified double pumper I would have issues with it wanting to stall with the fuel slop-over trying to stop that fast...
