some would call it cheating, some (like me) consider it "creative engineering". Right from the head of Chryslers racing program in a speech at the Carlisle Mopar event (2016?)..... Chryslers internal racing motto for ALL their programs (early 60's to 2000) was..."Win if you can, loose if you...

Travis wants to extend his thanks. I know it was you guys that helped push it over the top in the final hours.

looks like you guys pulled the gear....thanks Denny

please keep them coming, just 1/2 hour to go.....don't want to spit the bit now!...4th place is still in the hunt.

pedal to the metal guys......only an hour and 10 minutes to GO!!

vaulted into 4th by FABO.........ONLY .05 of a percent away from the good side of the cut.

you guys rock!....much appreciated.

as long as it is on a different piece of equipment.....forgot to mention that, thanks

thanks guys....I owe ya.

Hi Guys, Can I get your vote?....ends tonight. taking the top 3...giddy-up! for my nephew ....Travis Philo. Eldoras Governors Reign winged sprint car race is an invite only....Travis is maybe 100 votes short of the top 3 in the fan vote to get in. Fan Vote: Governors Reign at Eldora Speedway...

500 cu inch Butch Leal / Rod Shop Hemi.....originally in Butch's 82 Plymouth Horizon Pro stock , currently residing in his 75 Modified Production Duster

I have not visited this thread in a looooong time. Speed and beauty....got it all!!

from your description, my guess is something is binding your suspension. another issue to look at....I have found front ends bound up because the owner tried to put so much caster in with factory upper bushings and the cam adjusters opposite of one another, it caused the UCA to bind. The...

Maybe I was not clear. I test the suspension movement to verify nothing is binding without a shock or spring in place.(no wheel / tire attached to the hub) That is also a good time to adjust the bump stops to make sure the suspension is not hanging on the shock when in rebound and the...

regardless of spring length, Qa1 recommends the spring collapse 25%-33% at installed height. For your 10" spring , that would mean the spring should be collapsing anywhere from approx 6-3/4" or 33% to 7-1/2" or 25% installed with the car at your desired ride height. On a drag...

Thanks for posting it but the video looked kinda cheesy to me....been to a few street races in my day....NEVER seen anyone jump in the engine compartment even close to that B.S. move....or do a clutch and / or shifter adjustment from inside the car with the shifter boot on. Looked more like...

you guys do outstanding work.

nice looking tribe you have there Kimosabe.

The one I see on racing junk appears to be one of the Dusters....not this Demon

One more question.....whose bright idea was it to do the holeshot from INSIDE the garage? :)

I see three Dusters and a e-body (Cuda?) in a picture from back in the day....is this one of those reconfigured to a Dodge....or is it a different car? congrats on the purchase.....you never know what the future brings, but if you ever want to bring it to The Nats.....it would be right at...

Congratulations Myron. Hope we cross paths someday..... I would be a pleasure to buy you a cold one.

At the Hall of Fame banquet last year at Carlisle in a speech by the head of Chrysler Racing (an iductee) in the 70's their motto was...... Win if you can.... Loose if you must.... But always cheat....... if you were not being creative. ...you are not trying hard enough. In his opinion, the PC...

For clearance measuring, it is all about the total width (referred to as sectionial width) of the tire mounted /inflated on a particular rim.......not tread width. Most retailers (Summit /Jegs/ etc) have this spec listed. Example....the 14" (tread) X 32" (diameter) x15" (rims) Firestone Drag...

The 4-bar is great IF you prefer to spend the money to back half the car, take time to understand how it works and how to tune it. Ladder bars are a less expensive, more simple, but STILL very effective way to plant the rear tires. your car, your money, your call....best of luck with whichever...

And a 4 bar won't?

I like Bob's and twayne24365 thinking on this one......sometimes you go two steps forward ...only to go three steps back. IMHO, the ladders are the logical next step.

I see the confusion.....I do not run a triangulated 4-bar configuration. I run the bars in a standard 4-bar / 4 link configuration ......in line with one another. The parallel refers to the plane of the bars....both upper and lower bars run parallel to one another....no instant center...

I designed it, built a jig out of plywood and L brackets (I just came across it moving stuff to my new shop) and had the guy that welds my K frame packages (Fog) tig it up for me. there are pictures of it on the first few pages and thru out my HemiDuster build thread good picture on page 2...

I can set the 4 bar in my Hemi Duster either as a parallel 4- bar or configured as a 4-bar / 36" bars w/ about a 5" instant center. IMHO....the parallel is more of a street friendly set up....with the bars parallel, there is virtually no bind or pinion angle chage thru up/down rear movement...
