Christmas continues for MOPAR rsacers

I like the 4 door Dart idea. Thick rim glasses and an old metal flake helmet would be a requirement. Maybe a pair of "Bata Bullets", too. :-) Wagons tend to over load trailers! Seriously though, I get your point. As I attempted to say above (poorly written), I'm always glad to see the cars that never fit, in the mix.

I know you know (maybe somebody will read this who is learning) , the car chosen would be the one that fits the best overall. One reason Mike Smith and I chose the 71 (actually a 72 Satellite body) Road Runner (the red one) that we ran briefly in the mid 90's (We ran you once at an E-Town points race, you may recall, good race, you won!) was because it could've been run as a 71 or 72, Satellite, Road Runner and with just about every motor Mopar made. Different compression's, too, since they dropped after 71. Another thing we considered when we built it, besides the car itself, was the class. We built it for D/SA initially because there weren't that many fast ones around Div. 1 at that time. We weren't fast!
