I am loading up my car(s), plan to leave right after work tomorrow.
Wish me luck everyone, with all the rain we have had, I never had a chance to run the Lancer down the track. Looks like I will tow it 600 miles to see if it can successfully make a pass! :shock: :roll:

Wow Mopars at the strip Rocks!!!! Just got back home from it. Watched pretty much every single race there (and taped with camcorder). The fastest slant was "The Buzzin Half Duzzin" I would have to say. That slant was cookin going down that track (low 11's if I remember). There was one guy with his slant in a teal 60's Valiant which was, sorry to say, really slow (20 sec. 1/4 mile, stock right?). One thing I learned is what an actual 6-20 second car looks like going down the strip. Now I will know if someone is bsing me or not.
Sandy, I went to Pahrump on Saturday. Had to go there so that my dad could go to some pet store that he sells to to make this a legit business trip.
Anyways, looks like there was about 8 slanters. The only one I know is Slantzilla and the 'The Buzzin Half Duzzin'.
