There were only four slant 6's at Woodburn this year. One bone stock Dart that ran 18.00's, a 1952 Ford with a slant 6 four barrel (he ran 17.00's), my buddy Doug Powers with his 64 Valiant (two one barrels, street cam and headers). He was running 14.03. I ran my best of a 12.13.

The weather was great (90º), the beer was cold and the best part was when two other racers walked over to look at my car and said "My big block isn't even in the 12's". We all had a great time.

Thanks for the Up-date Dave, We Have TO Work On Getting SL6 racing going on the West Coast!

I have my sights set on the Samoa Inliners race 8-17 & 18 and Sacramento on 8-25. I got the new engine fired in my Dragcar but it needs a "shake-out" to see if it "holds together"

Woodburn would be good to promote for next year, may-be we can get a few of the "East Siders" to make the "pull" to come play with us!
