Drag racing my 1968 Dodge Dart at my local track for the past 5 years and we finally reach our goals for this track on the last drag race ever here before it gets demoed. My 68 dart is small block mopar stroker motor powered amd we dialling in the suspension still and working the trans brake on this new combo. So glad to have the last here and look forward to a new track in the future. Thanks to all the crew here at western speedway over the years. You guys are the reason we can pursue our goals and do the sport we love!

On Long island, it was rumored that the West Hampton dragway was the oldest in the country. At one time, all the greats were there. One day, my wife and I decided to take a motorcycle ride to the drags. We were met by several excavators lined up at the gate. It was sad, frustrating, and common on Long Island. People moved in 50 years or more after it was built, complained constantly that it annoyed them, so,,,, ,,,,,, hello yuppies, good bye great times.

Sad day at that track. My Dart has been in the stable for over 35 years. I admittedly haven’t drove it for 2 decades. My focus has been a 71 6 pack Challenger, though I put a 360 or 372 roller motor together with w2 heads, Bullet cam, BRC pistons, Eagle forged crank, etc.. Anyways my home track when I lived in the mid south USA was George Rays wildcat run whatcha brung, enter at your own risk drag strip. George has been gone now for some years and they’re keeping it alive still, but for how long? Beautiful little Dart you have, and it runs as well. Mine ran 6.90 in the 1/8 at around a 100mph, and am shooting for 6.50 with this combo. Drove it to the track, and left the muffs on, so street legal and with a 340 and M&H race master tires. I had similar 60 foots off the foot brake, and don’t quite get why the lack of suspension rise on your car? I’m assuming it has to do with the Cal tracs? Not sure what spring you run, but 02 and 03 super stock springs were the norm, and most A bodies would literally leap off the line.

Congratulations on the new family member, solid performance gains on the Dart.

Nice job! Always good when changes result in improvement! I think you are going to find the shocks aren’t adjustable enough to really work the best. You still have a bounce on launch. You need more extension dampening in the front, to slow the front end rise, then more compression dampening to keep the front end up and not have it settle back down so quickly.

You know the car better than me.... but in the future it might be worth playing with a bit more air in the tires, looks to me that they're collapsing a bit much and the climbing back up on them selves, nothing wrong with that, but might get a slightly better 60' with it. Not much more because it looks nearly perfect, maybe an extra half pound to 1 pound. Nice thing with those eagle tires is that are fantastic at recovering. Reason behind my suggestion: If the tire doesn't have to climb back up on itself, you distribute the force a bit more even at the launch, when they climb back up, it upsets the suspension a bit which can cause inconsistencies, basically hitting a 0.5" bump effectively... regardless hooks good as is. Sad to see this place close up, but glad that something will be around in the future for many years to come.

I re did steering column and was just off a tooth. But left after I realized it lines the trans brake button up perfectly so I left it. Happy accident

@@SimpsonsSpeedShop joe that a 1/8 mile track correct? May try 456 gears you go quicker to get into lower 10's I still think caltracs leaf springs are the way to go contact john at caltracs he runs them in his race cars with great results too.

@@SimpsonsSpeedShop 660 ft. ??? 1/8 mile quite a bit more room then 384 ft.!!! But that little track had history and character behind it !!!! To think that it's gone forever is not only sad but disgusting to think it's being replaced by stinkin condos !!!!!! What a waste all In the name of $$$ !!! Happy to hear they're building an updated dragstrip and bigger for you guys who want to do it legitimately and responsibly !!!! If you have any further info when they intend to open it and name it please let us know !!!! I myself am very interested in that information !!!!! Thanks brother !!!!

@@SimpsonsSpeedShop I would try it at the drag Strip without it a couple runs anyhow, I drag Raced 30 years and can tell you for sure it's worth a tenth on the 1/8 more on the 1/4 also on your car a good hemi scoop will probably pick it up a bit too! Just suggesting that's all, I know you want to get in the 10s!!

@@SimpsonsSpeedShop if I were to guess this you drag race it more for fun and a good time and just to see how you can improve it then be a serious bracket racer !!!! I was more serious and technical about it and not nearly as relaxed as you but I had sponsors that wanted results to an extent !! I had a steady crew of 3 every week including special shows !!! You seem to be let's go and have a blast and let's see what she does !!!!! I admire that because I was never in a state of relax and have fun like you are !!
