I ran my little 273 powered '65 Valiant (four door/four speed I installed the A833) with an 8 3/4 rear end (4.56) at Fremont Raceway (circa 1975-1980) where it ran a best of 12.72 @ 108 mph. I have zero photos of the car at the track. However, a friend just sent me this photo that has been...
The local "Mr. Mopar" here in La Paz (finish line of the Baja 1000) told me that this Saturday (May 27th) is tune day and the following Saturday (June 3rd) is the scheduled 1/8 mile competition. Mr Mopar has a 600 HP 440 1972 Cuda.
Let's hear about your street racing days (hope they ended years ago).
My one experience: Circa Spring of 1972 (I was a Junior) I was driving my parents special order 1971 Road Runner to high school daily (Palma High School-Salinas California). I had already raced the car at Fremont Raceway...
Anyone playing with a good online dyno program? I was using CamQuest, but some years ago it failed to load with the message: "The CamQuest application is currently offline for maintenance and updating." I just tried again today on the CompCam website and received the same message. Thank you.
I have a custom set of small block rods that have a 6.298" length (vs 6.123" stock connecting rod length). They are standing by inside my 305 Mopar de-stroked 340 long block to be finished some day soon (see photo).
The drivers! And she has a twin sister!

When I had my street/strip bracket racer I started out with the pistol grip shifter. Power-shifting on the street with that handle seemed to be a hit or miss deal for me.
I swapped in a T-Handle slanted slightly toward 3rd gear and don't remember ever missing a full-throttle power shift after...
I just did an internet search for drag strips in California and found Qualcom Stadium on the list. I can't really picture room for a dragstrip there. Must be set up in the parking lot somehow. Has anyone participated? Fotos? Details? Thank you.
Anyone seen a Richard Petty (or whoever raced Mopars) motor in a real NASCAR car? I wonder what color they painted those old wedges/hemis when they were running on the race tracks?
