Racing with "lifsgrt" (Jerry) fellow Dodge Charger Member

[R2]

Went racing this weekend in Bowling Green Kentucky, (Beech Bend Raceway),,,with Jerry (lifsgrt),,I brought my 65 Belvedere,,,and he had his 69 Charger,,,,,,he is a member here on the board. 

He has a very nice 69 RT/SE Charger,, ,,His car was running well,,,,he mentioned the race weight on his car is close to 4100 lbs  ( might be the relative of the Black Pig ,,,ie Ron's 68 Charger lol  )
I put some pics of his car,,,,,,he was able to get it to the mid/low 11's, very respectable.....





Here is one of my 65 Belvedere...........I got a new best that weekend,,,,,my car ran a 10.08. 



ET slip for the Belvedere.....

Very nice Charger, I need to look lifsgrt up for more info on his car. R2 your ride is just as kick aZZ I just like the 69 more.

Very cool    Jerry's car is incredibly clean and is a true street/strip ride  I believe it now has a 500in stroker installed and has lost a whole second in ET vs last year. Nice work Jerry   

Doug, congrats on the new bests. It will run a high 9 at some point.....you're ohhhh so close !

Hey fellas...back on the planet and just back from Bowling Green today.  Ran a new best of 11.27 @120, still more in her though...plugs were dark when I pulled them.  Down to 1.65 60' times...must be those 3:23s and 4100 pounds worth of car and driver.  Probably ought to try this bullet in something lighter?
  Standard fare today, me and about 4 other Mopar guys in a sea of Chevys and Mustangs.  Dang, wish we could make a better showing from the Mopar crowd.  Weather was great, wish you guys could've been there. And yea, I've just finished up one of those India Pale Ales Ron...eh?  Doug, thanks for posting this thread.  We need to do this more often!  It's very therapeutic!   

[BBKNARF]

Right on !!! 

[Lifsgrt]

Hey Doug, don't knock it if it works!!    I'm looking forward to seeing the Belvedere now... I'm thinking 9's??

Congrats Jerry, excellent results !  Glad to hear you're enjoying the Canuckian brew 

Are you running the same 275/60 MT drag radials ? I'm sure there's some more ET left in it with a gear swap. I bet you're running through the traps at barely 5000 with that gear/tire combo 

Geez, now you need to install a rollbar....the downward spiral begins

Ron, was running 255 tires last year, now 275s.  I'm just out of 2d gear when I go thru the traps, thinking 3:91s or 4:10s will help.  I also have to figure out the best RPM to shift. Time will tell.  How's that 572 coming along?  Thanks for the brews! 

[Lifsgrt]

Test and tune tomorrow at Bowling Green Dragstrip, gates open at 1100.  $5 to get in, $5 to run.  Let's see what a little jetting change does.

Yep, it needs more gear !  I bet it likes 5800-6000 shiftpoints 

The 572 is running fine but i'm having trans issues (low line pressure) so it has to come back out. It's an issue with the front pump because we checked the valvebody and it's fine. I had a Billet pump gear installed and the builder thinks that the clearances are too loose so he want to machine the pump to tighten things up.

Unfortunately our race season is done so i won't get to test it out until next spring.

Good luck and have fun !
