Race Day #3 1968 Dodge Dart makes its fastest passes yet!

Drag racing my 1968 Dodge Dart for the 3rd time this year! New 4500 stall converter really helped out the small block mopar put the power down and get the 60 foots times better.

[@renaebearden]

Great looking and running. My 408 needs to come out of the van and into the Barracuda. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@travisgould3029]

That is quite possibly the scariest track I've ever seen!

[@SimpsonsSpeedShop]

You should try it!

[@bullzeyez3236]

Got some soft bushes to help stop the car on the left side. 😂

[@kevinnobody3052]

A long long time ago I used to race a '71 Cuda . My car had a 340 Edelbrock heads, Crower solid lift Cam 324/502 grind. B&M Automatic with a 10" 3800 stall. I ran 4.90s in the rear and that car would scoot. Watching you brings back a lot of great memories. Enjoy yourself. You got a great car there.

[@SimpsonsSpeedShop]

Thanks so much! Sub and follow along!

[@guywerry6614]

Wow, those old MCI's come up quick at the end. You guys must have great brakes to bring those cars down quick. You should get an award for 0-100-0 times! Scary track. Hope you all stay safe and thanks again for sharing your passion with us all.

[@Wickhaven1]

Thanks for the converter videos. I have enjoyed them and you have a sweet hot rod. I want to go with a higher stall than my 2500, and you have convinced me that I need the 3500 at least. My 2500 is tight, actually stalling at 19-2000. So 3500 should be plenty for my ride..

[@allantaylor3288]

Your dialling your Dodge in nicely, big improvement on your first day at the track👍, I absolutely love your car and can’t wait for you next video.

[@SimpsonsSpeedShop]

Thanks bro!

[@4ondflor]

Always good people behind the people. Looks like that torque converter did just what you wanted. It’s great to watch you switch one thing at a time so that I can understand the impact - total step by step

[@SimpsonsSpeedShop]

Now your getting to the good stuff!

[@marktomlins6624]

Great to see the car heading in the right direction and showing consistency... It makes it easier for the driver to settle in and start perfecting his routine when he knows the car is consistent..Your girl does an awesome job with the camera 🎥 nice and steady and great shots👌

wow you're running a small block i don't know why i just assumed it was a 383 gts or a 440 transplant but then i saw the way you walked away from that big block B body off the line and it brought back memories of a couple of 340's that used to give me hell back in my day, aren't mopars great!!!!

[@bigbear5510]

You got a great lady there Joe! She seems to enjoy the same things you do, she's a keeper! Great job Natalie (hope that's spelled correctly) with the camera angles & smooth operation of the camera! If you're driving on the street, you may want to leave the sway bar on the car & disconnect the link ends on track day, this will help a lot with weight transfer. Removing the sway bar will make it handle like a go-cart on the street, that's one of the reasons my friend took out my neighbors mailbox & post. Ya didn't show it on the video but I wonder if you're checking the air pressure before you make a pass. You can't beat a car that's dialed in like that Malibu, man he's got great weight transfer, hangs the hoops & cuts lights like that. I would be proud that he beat me!! That was a nice GTX & S-10 that you run against, Fastback Mustang also. I guess I'll go watch the other video now, still trying to catch up from the past 3 or 4 weeks of being ill & not able to watch videos. It's 6:30AM here & I haven't had my coffee yet. I guess I'll make a giant cup first.😎

Super Day at the track Guys! Love your Dart! And both of you... What a team! Been following you from the start... I'm a Big Dart/ A-Body guy myself... Have a few rusty relics to work on! Do me a BIG favor, Please! Remove interior rear view mirror and tighten it up so the pivot won't let the g-force move it! You have built such a beautiful '68 Dart. Is that an original mix on that burgundy paint? It really lights up in the sun! I have a weathered/rusted original paint burgundy '68, and never imagined it looked that beautiful once a long time ago... Can't wait for the next video. Thanks! Frank Parks in Summerville Ga. USA.

[@tommyfrombama4834]

Really nice little street car. Runs good. Alot of guys thinking this is 1/8 mile, but that car ain't running any 5.2x in the eighth. Probably mid to low 7's in the eighth if I had to guess based on your 1/4 mile estimate. So I'm guessing 330 ft race, maybe 500? You run what you have though. Still a great way to collect data and dial the car in without getting arrested. Lol. Keep after it, she's coming along real nice. Edit: I see you have answered this many times. Lol. 385 ft. It's a circle track. That's pretty wild man. It would suck to have the throttle stick open and try to make that left turn at the end of the straight! Make sure you have two throttle return springs on that bad boy!

[@SimpsonsSpeedShop]

Ya you get. Only track around. I have multiple return springs. Hahaha thanks for watching

I would have to see a 1/4 mile time to trust the 11s would be there. We were just at the track with my Duster last Friday and did an 11.81 at 113.5 and 4.85 with a 1.7 60" in the 330". Definitely valve control issues near the top of the track or maybe the rev limiter set a bit too low? That has to be hurting you some. Thanks so much for sharing. Wonderful seeing a nice mopar at the track!

Rev limiter. 6600. Check my dyno vid.

[@alzaidi7739]

Glad the high stall speed converter worked as planned. You were right. Assuming the car weighs about 3100#, an 11.5 time equates to 500 hp, or 400 hp at the wheel. So you are finally seeing results that match those from the dyno.

[@SimpsonsSpeedShop]

You are bang on my friend! Thanks for watching

[@VORTECPRO]

Although were dealing with a street car in the above video, keep in mind A NHRA D/SA 340 demon runs @ around 3100 pounds, and runs 10.40 average with less than 530 crankshaft HP, probably just under 500, typically 1.36 60. I think Simpson could benefit from taking a look at this type of car, can only help with his racing program. Any one know the altitude at this track?

[@alzaidi7739]

@@VORTECPRO Mr. Simpson doesn't want to put a roll cage in his stock interior. That's why he's happy to be at 11.52 sec 1/4 m equivalent . just over the 11.5 threshold mandating a roll cage. A Demon running 10.4 would need one. Like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvVen-Feb-rbq8 btw , my calculator says 3100# @10.40 requires. 625 hp.

Great video. You're lucky to have a woman who wants to be involved with your racing. My wife has come to the track once an once only and it did not go well, lol. One thing I noticed is that all the cars are doing the burnout in the water box. Is that a track rule? I never do that because I don't want any water to get flung up into the wheelwells and then drip down onto the tires causing me to lose traction.

[@Mestoc]

First of all great content and beautiful car looks like you reached your goal of an 11.50 capable car. Not sure what your next goals are for the combination but theres probably a few more .10s in it with some tweaking and tuning yet. Depending on what direction you want to go. If you can raise your SSHood 2 or 3 inches to gain some more hood clearence you could probably run a 2 inch supersucker spacer for some additional hp , build a sealed airpan that seals to the scoop which will isolate the carb to outside air and will give a cooler flow entry into the carb. Not sure if your running a 727 or a 904 but building a 904 with a 2.74 planitary with similar converter will shave off 1.5 tenths at least. If you have a shop nearby looking at getting the intake manifold plenum and runners and a good port match would be worth a.10th or more as well. Mopars love CFM so even if you think a 750 or an 850 is more than enough almost every engine ive worked with has always made more power with a bigger carb. There is probably a bit more power to be had with a bigger carb. 904 w/ 2.74 planitary 1.5ths Fully ported manifold 10th SSHOOD raise + seal scoop+2inch spacer 1.3tenths Custom holley 950 10th Results may very, but some ideas for additional content for the car If your looking for a good custom carb i would look at getting into contact with Dominic "Thumper" on facebook, does custom 4150/4500 BLP carburetors for racers all over the u.s and canada. He can whip you up a real nice carb.

[@SimpsonsSpeedShop]

Hey there thanks for feed back you should check out my dyno vid for sure. I have a super sucker on it and will get a taller on if I have clearance. I will be porting the intake an doing kore mods to it over winter, stay tuned for that and as for air cleaner I am working on something for that right now! On dyno we tryed bigger carbs but the 750 was just a good as a 950! And I will retain some more street ability with the 750. I know of Dominic thumper and even chatted with him briefly.

New to the channel. Man, that is one of the funkiest looking strips I’ve ever seen and I’m an old dude. Bleachers right up super close to the left lane and no barriers on a good portion of the right lane. Really looks odd from the drivers seat. Shutdown area also looks really short.

[@danmyers9372]

5:24 ET converts to an 11:52? How long is the track? Is it a metric length? I am in USA and have never heard of an ET conversion like you mentioned. Obviously it is shorter than 1/8th mile. Thanks.

[@SimpsonsSpeedShop]

Hey there. Track is the front straightaway of an oval track. Oldest in western Canada. It’s only 385 feet but it’s the only track around so it’s all we got. Thanks for watching.

[@steveschlosser6658]

Some food for thought... your car is very nice and runs good. Have you tried not pushing it so hard on the starting line at the track? You should try only loading it lightly. Say, push it to maybe 3500 on the line and let the converter flash to 4500 and let your chassis react to the launch. It may or may not help your ET or 60 ft times. Based on what it sounds like in your videos, and I may be wrong, but I would also try shifting a little earlier than you have been. It sounds like you over-rev the 1-2 shift at the track. Just some constructive criticism that may or may not help. I like watching your videos and your car is awesome.

[@SimpsonsSpeedShop]

Hey thanks for checking the vids. Ya I didn’t flash the converter I. This race day. Old converter was better when loaded vs flashing it. Next trace I will try to flash, and yes I bang the limiter at 6600 engine makes most power up top check out my dyno vid! Thanks for watching more to come soon!
