Raceday #4! 1968 Dodge Dart goes too fast drag racing!

Ойын-сауық

1968 Dodge Dart drag race! No cage in my Dodge Dart with a 360 mopar was too much power and I ran too fast! This dodge 360 motor makes 530 horse power! With a 4500 stall converter I get some great 60 foot times big Mopar burnouts and Mopar drag racing here!

    I loved my '67 Sport Special, grandma gave it to me the day I got my license, and she bought it new off the showroom floor. Only had the Slant six 225ci, but running light to light on the cruise, it rarely lost. It could pull away from a 240Z on the straights up on the top end, but they could out corner me.

    Great looking Dart, we found with better traction, flashing the covertor gave better 1/4 times and speeds. Not worried about the reaction time. Plus 90/10s on the front and 50/50s on the rear transfered the weight and started lifting the front wheels. The front shocks can be easily changed at the track. Bigger rear ARB helped to. Like you we removed the front ARB. Our s/b 68 Dart is now running low 10s in the 1/4 with a 100 hp gas and high 10s without. And we have a full cage now to. Good luck. Watching with interest.

    @@SimpsonsSpeedShop Another racer on KZread put race discs on his S10 and said it made a big difference, also some lighter weight front wheels. I was wondering if you could do that? I know you ride it on the street but it seems like it's becoming more and more a race car which is cool. I'd keep it able to go on the street but it's such a beautiful car personally I'd just race it. I also think using an electric water pump would free up some more HP. There's a lot of inexpensive, well relatively inexpensive ways to get better ETs. An 850cfm dp Holley I think would also help now that you have the torque converter in there. I know everything cost money........for safety reasons a roll cage is the way to go because that car is going to go faster.

    I can understand these rules on 1/4 mile tracks, but short tracks like that should be way more flexible on the requirements for cages etc... because it is such a short track and do not hit the MPH you would in 1/4 or 1/8 mile. Just my opinion. Beautiful car by the way. I have a SBC Gen II LT1, it runs 11.28@120 in the 1/4 mile at 1750 DA (best pass to date) ON MOTOR. Race weight is 3600 lbs. The stall is really tight in it. My 60' is only 1.6. I should be in the 1.4x range. I am sending my 3600 stall back in to get reflashed and loosened up a little. Mine is a balancing act because I run nitrous as well and nitrous likes a tighter stall. Hopefully I can find a happy medium with my stall for motor and nitrous.

    Good day at the track. Great job !!!!! 60s are getting better and the car is quicker. Can't ask for more than that. Testing and tuning only way to get better. One suggestion though, you may want to invest in a set of light weight front wheels and tires. Those Cragers weigh a ton. If you look at your front end when you leave it comes up really quick until it tries to lift the tire then it bounces which unloads the rear suspension. I think with a lighter tire and rim the front will continue to rise keeping the rear chassis loaded and improve your sixty by a lot maybe a tenth or more. Overall though great job and great video. Please keep them coming, I look forward to them.

    I think your car is vary nice . Just a great mussel car nice color too. Wow with a cage it will be better but slow it too. But a shot on NOS 50 off the line and 300 down the track that will make times quicker. You could be in the hi 9 sec or low 10s. Nice car !

I like the 68 mopars because of the side markers. I have a 49, 68,69 and 73 plymouth A bodies, so ill always have a soft spot for them.

    Be careful dropping your shift point to 6400, the car may go faster! It sounds like you're still hitting the rev limiter a little bit. Hitting that limiter is slowing the run down. Nice job! Car looks and sounds awesome. You may be able to adjust your suspension a bit to allow for the 'flashing' of the converter too... a little tire spin with those big meats you have under there means it wants to launch even harder! Looking forward to the next video!

    Looks like a lot of fun. After watching the in car camera I noticed that your front suspension may need some attention. Looks like something is loose when you launch and a wobble when you are slowing down at the end of the track. I could be wrong, I had a problem like that and my idler arm and Pittman were worn. Just my 2 cents.

    I hear you brother. The local drag strips around here are closing down left and right. But the track owner should do something about the shut down area. Move them old cars and those concrete blocks weigh 2 tons a piece I know because I have made hundreds of them. Dump a couple loads of cheap creek sand down because sand doesn't compact and atleast give a guy having a bad day a fighting chance. From the outside looking in. I wouldn't want to see anybody tear their cars all to Hell or get hurt even Chevy driver's. HaHaHa HA I'm kidding chevy...Be safe
