Played with the Barracuda at the track tonight *goin back tonight*

[GoodysGotaCuda]

Not quite my goal time wise, but closeeee. Goal is a 13.xxx with the 318, 3,600lbs, just how it is daily driven (yes, i find i never cap my exhaust  ) and on slicks. Came up a hair short with a 14.0 tonight (previous best was 14.3). 5,200ft density altitude, which i guess if the moons aligned and the conditions were perfect corrects to a 13.0...so somewhere with decent air it should end up in the middle. 



Went down a few times, but started having a fuel related issue, starvation to where it'd lean out and fall on its face at arond the 1,000ft mark. I'm pecking away at my e/t, with the weather only getting cooler it should only go faster. With a little better air and the fuel issue sorted it should be there. Fun night at the track, didnt break anything, and i didnt lose to anyone. Put about 120miles on the 'ol fish today, quite a few hard ones.

Sounds like fun to me to. I love drag racing.  I was saving a 72 barracuda to build another drag car, but got talked into selling it before I could get it built. Guess we'll just continue racing our 95 firebird for now. My mopar buddies give me a hard time for not having a mopar racecar.
Keep us informed on the progress.

Thanks guys and gal 


VIDEO!  But the chucklehead next to me didnt want his times shown so mine didnt come on the board either. Seems to hold its own though for a 318

Feels like its getting out of the hole much better than last time. I swapped my old, worn, original leaf springs (one complete with ahelper spring) and air shocks for some super stock springs and adj drag shocks. Feels much better. I have to tinker with the eddie carb a little more and see where it gets me. Needs a new fuel pump, alignment pulls to the left...there are a few things i gotta tinker with. 

heres another pass. i had to kill it a few hundred feet from the stripe due to fuel starvation, coasted a 14.40

Two best reaction times were a .004 and a .006 on the pro tree

thanks, yea i won six out of the six passes, even had the fuel issues on the majority of them. The closest race was the other guy was 1.3 seconds behind me.
