New Guy Here

Hi all,
I've been a member here since April and so far have only been reading through some posts. I am a bracket racer and figured I could learn something from the racers on this site.

"3650 lbs w / driver.... be kind"
I have a 67 street/strip coronet. my parents bought it new. I built a 340 stroker and a 727 set it up like a stocker, all of calvets stuff. on m/t et radials it runs 11.50's. I do like those cars, you don't see many of them.
anyway, shouldn't you be at the nhra event there this week?

I'll be there but only as a spectator, don't have any money to play with the car as of late, it will still be nice to be out at the track.

Welcome aboard, we need more mopar folks here...LOL.

Dwight Machael (pronounced like the girls name michelle, except with an "a" instead of an "I") has a 66 Hemi Coronet, A/SA at LVMS this week end. He broke early so he might not be there now. Look for him in the pits, and say hi....he is a great big guy.....and a great guy and friend. Mention my name, it's OK. LOL Dwight also races a B/SA 62 Belvedere, Max Wedge.
