Ouch!  I was prodding at Howard yesterday by email. I gave him a rundown of where his new ET fits in the overall Records... If he geared for 1/4 mile he would blow away his 11.279 C/A record from 2009. His 6.809 would secure that C/A record and force Ron Hamby to play with nitrous again to re-set another record. Take a look at where his C/A (2700#) record and new time stack up against the lighter B and even A records... He is quicker than the B/A 1/8th mile recently set by Team Green and a converted 6.809 (for what it is worth ) is quicker than our longest standing 10.710 B/A record also set by Team Green way back in 2003! That would be a really awesome heads up race between Team Green and the Hillside Six. I'm not trying to stir the pot or get anything started. I'm just reading what I see on the internet. His times are also quicker than the A/A records of 11.441 and 7.355. Maybe there IS something to having an aluminum head on a Slant 6 after all...

I'll bet it is not just the head. But the head and everything else that was improved to take advantage of the head. Those guys have done countless hours of R&D on their toy. |

Howard told me 15+ years ago he was going to have the quickest N/A slant door car. Sounds like he is getting it done. We might have to put a new set of spark plugs in the old Lancer for that match race. Slantzilla, at least we have a race car that a fuel check could be performed on. I can't be to harsh on Dennis, it would be nice of him to show up at Cedar Falls next year with something running. Mark |

Very true Charlie!Hey Mark, Have I mentioned (lately ) that it's good to have you racing with us again?

Howard told me that he "might" make it to the rescheduled Clay City race 7 November... He said it would be a last minute decision if he made it. He'll be looking at the weather... his workload (he sells farming implements & such) and he wanted to make sure he could run his delay box. I told him he could run the delay box... He'd have to figure out the work thing... God & Mother Nature decide on the weather... I sure hope he makes it and shows everyone that I haven't just been making this stuff up for the last several years...

 Here's hoping Howard makes it to Clay City to prove that the timeslip does indeed go to his Dart Sport running a Slant 6 with his aluminum head on it...

I would guess it was a rolling swingset. Them guys in S/Pro don't play.

Just a couple spy shots of the Hillside Six I took Friday while hanging out with Howard. Enjoy...
