Bits & Pieces

Put together a '80 Aspen that I purchased from Paul Marcum last fall with parts left around the shop.Thought I'd share a few pictures with everyone.Took it to our local 1/8 mile track over the weekend and it ran best of 7.32. I won the dial in race and went 5 rounds before going -.010 red. (semi's)Car was really consistant,had a ball !!!

Very clean looking car, don't see anything written on the windows...
so whats in it, 318-340-360 or sb race block.

It'll probably end up as a Pure Stocker.Need to add mufflers and a couple other odds and ends,get the weight right,ect. Car is a 360 which should put it into D/PS.Roll bar needs to be added to run Stock.May do that at some point.

Car looks great!

11.49 (7.49)-quicker requires a roll bar in bracket racing.

Don't it say 11.49 (7.35)???? for the roll bar.I'm looking at a '09 Rulebook and thats what it says.Has it been changed?
