Here you go
Kind of a cool little truck, not sure I could focus longer than 15 sec.

When you see that faster rocket leave in the rear view mirror life is in slow motion, then as it gains steam about half track it is like a new race has begun Mike. It is a pure blast the last 100' or so. Decision making time is sometimes down to micro seconds. I can feel and see good lights at the tree, top end usually I need to see that glowing win light in one lane or the other to know who won since the paint on the ground (the stripe is wider than the light beam), as they blow by 50 or more mph faster.

It is a real test of patience though and you must as Luke B.says "Fully Embrace The Slow" to have fun with it!

Qualifying and time trials can be a bore so, hammering the tree and experimental work there adds the element necessary to get through that since they are usually turning off up the hill when I finally reach the stripe. Lol.

Weather is always the enemy to battle more than the car/driver in the other lane.

I pulled up the 84' Dodge file and it (the Rampage was not in the list.) Glad you found it in the classracer listing. I did not look at the 82, and 83 files though or there. Smaller and a lot like the El Camino, actually had a published slightly bigger advertised payload and leaf springs in the rear unlike the rest of the other K cars Chrysler put out of the Era.

Come out and play with us dfs.

That 1 will not fit in DF/S with a Tlll Turbo under the hood.

Gary, I know the feeling (somewhat) Back in the '80's I had a super street car that I would bracket race at Riverside raceway. Not sure what the bracket was called but the door cars and dragsters would run together. Now I was set up to run 10.90 at about 124mph and I can remember my first race against a dragster. After leaving the line I was looking for them and not be able to see such a short car very well until the lights where it went by me in a blurr pulled the chute and went back behind me again in a blurr. What just happened? LOL
