Got a wild hair with wife out of town and decided to end season with a bang by taking valiant to our local 1/8th mile track Friday night then hitting areas largest fall car show Saturday. Have only taken her on two quarter mile passes before ( best of 15.8 @ 90mph )during a car show fun run so should be awesome. Hopefully I can get into 9's and not break anything. Looks pretty cool with my cuda's drag radials on her. Will not be a fast couple of passes but I'm excited & sure she will make 273's proud.

Good luck! Are you allowed to leave the wheel covers on the front while racing?
 
Thanks Keith & yes I will have to take the hubcaps off the front to make it thru tech. but driving down with em on.

Did not reach goal of 9's at our local 1/8 mile track but got three runs in, met some cool mopar folks and had a blast. Ran a best of 10.04 @ 71mph on first pass ( had bog issues on next two passes so shut her down for evening)and did not break anything. Not to shabby IMHO for a basically stock 273 commando.
