Wow this really snuck up on me this year. Just 2 weeks away!
I am planning on being there both days with the 66 dart convertable.

Ryan's duster has a water leak, Andrew's truck needs a driveshaft........

Hope some more people can make it.

We will be attending the race. Won't be racing the red Dart because I can't reach the shifter due to my shoulder surgery. Most likely sitting this one out. :(

Glad to hear you can make it, Brian, racing or not. Put Melissa in the car!! Or, put the green car in drive and run it...

Should be a fun weekend.

Still not looking good for me to have a car ready in time.

Every time I make some progress, I find more to fix!

Questions for racing:
Assuming it is required, what are y'all using for catch cans/overflow tanks?
Can I run antifreeze or water only in the radiator?

Thanks!

You must have a catch can of some sort. It can be a plastic bottle or oil can or whatever, but it has to have one. They do not check your radiator contents, so anti freeze is fine.

Post subject:  Re: 2018 Mason Dixon Spring Race

Any old bottle for a catch can, zip tied to the rad support or fender apron. I used coke/Gatorade bottles for years, and still sometimes do. Now I have fancier ones since I have GM-style alum rads that sit lower down, but those are not needed.

Water is technically required, but as long as you don't spill, they won't check or care!

Gatorade bottle is best.
They do not deform with hot coolant.

Water bottles will scrunch up.
