I hope we can all make it to Clay City or wherever the race is and run together! :D :D That would be fun!

Stan I noticed on the video that when the car hits and the fronts come off the ground it goes a little to the right. Is there adjustments in the 4 link to setup to change that kind of thing? The only thing I know about 4 Links was that I followed Ron Hamby's a lot at the finish line!!! :D :D

Yes, it would be good to race, last time I was at MD, it rained us out.

It's a Ladder Bar suspension.
And I do have adjustments.
I think because I could not do a good burnout, it moved a little right.
I hope the new brakes help that.

Doesn't want this to get out of hand, I guess.
He isn't the only one in line to race me.
Maybe the only Hemi Colt in the world with a slant six street motor.

In all seriousness I know when you get that thing straightened out it will fly.

But in the meantime......... :mrgreen:

I hope it stays on the ground and really doesn’t fly like the Colts did back in the day.
I guess we will find out……..sometime.

There aren't many of us slinging well-wishes back and forth any more.
Keep them coming Slantzilla!

And the Colt has been as in the 8's at close to 160 MPH.
I was told by the guy who drove it that you could drive it with one hand.
I don't think it will take flight.
I sure hope not.

Yeah, really looking forward to seeing the Colt fly straight and low. Maybe lining up against it too.

I'm just hoping for the weather to break soon so I can change motors in the car.

Me too! It's been a while.

Hmmm, maybe I can get some boost on my Milner-esque machine (34 Dodge) and join this heads-up fracas?? :twisted: :P
