mopar racers

[skills]

Thank your gentlemen love the pics and info. Just don't see many I know the few in d-1 and enjoy them all. Need one to make it to the winner circle at e-town next year. Didn't know they ran that heavy, how are compareable to other mopar body styles as far as competitive and ability to run the number?

The car had some lead bolted to the frame looks to be about 80 pds?, has 2 batteries 50 pds?, has tri city launcher springs, I believe when I switched our wagon to cal-tracs and mono's we saved at least 50 pds?, plus has all the air grabber stuff on hood yet 20pds?. So I think I can get there. I want to redo the cage so it fits better also. What does chrome moly save you on a 6 point type cage? My main concern is making the car hook with all the weight out of back. This year with the springs and shocks that were in it I always had the car 50 pds heavy to make hook. Was always a balncing act between jump and spin and monster wheelstand like 20 pds between good-spin-and "HOLY S**T" hoping cal-tracs fix that! I want 3 foot wheelies not 8 foot wheelies

Looks like about a 30% weight savings. Here's a couple of threads to check out.
