1000 HP Dodge 330 8.90's FINALLY!

[the64dodgefan]

Fresh taller tires, tight track and good air make for some great passes at Tulsa in the fall. Finally ran the elusive 8 second pass. Tried a wheelie bar and broke it so we decided to go with some new front shocks in an attempt to keep the back bumper from dragging. It worked for 2 of 3 passes.

Nice .............. looks like she was hooking up real well.

Awsome passes:hello2:How many BUMPERS have you been through??

 

[the64dodgefan]

This is the first time since 2004 that we have dragged the bumper like that. It is a plastic bumper that collected a lot of good rubber after that pass! Actually I think the chute bracket kept the car from flipping over! You can see the side molding fall off the car after it hit. The doors won't close now, but it is in the shop to get the frame straightened and aligned again. We will be ready for racing again in a few weeks.

How much does your car weigh?

car and driver 3500

 

[the64dodgefan]

3500 lbs up at 330' makes for a rough landing
