Dana 60 vs 8 3/4 -Steve Magnante Hemi Dart

[33IMP]

Did anyone else notice how unstable that Dart was going down the track ?
I got anxious just watching it !

I have raced that track. It was famous for 50mph crosswinds in the L.A. county upper desert. I can't say if that was the cause, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
(L.A. County closed around fifteen years ago, I think. The mining company that owned the land wouldn't renew, tore the whole thing up.)

YES - I thought maybe he forgot to tighten his U-bolts after the axle change!

Well you were fortunate to know an editor of Hot Rod Magazine.

Yeah, I spent 10 years with those guys off and on, and the sister magazines too.

Lol. I have the exact same creeper and jack as Steve is using. Probably bought it the same time the article was written!! Still going strong!

I'd snap a picture but I'm out of town on business.
