Between him and his buddies and the Dennis boys, we've seen everrything up through the Shelby GSX, and the "Super 80" Mopar Performance setup. They will make enough power that the firewall will move under your feet! Dad D won a championship with a time trial club using a twin DCOE Weber carb setup (still "in the barn&quot , which may end up in the 2.2./Spitfire hybrid they've been messing with (the Dakota transmission turns out to be the weak link).

This is a Don Letarte LMS chassis, repowered with a Joe Alameda (ex NHRA SS racer) 440 - Joe has MS, and this was his last 440. the front clip got bent up last year, so they are working on a new chassis using all the (NASCAR style) running gear from this car, all stuffed into a Challenger shell. Where have you heard the name Letarte? Dale Jr's crewchief in Cup......

I'll take the Shelby. Car in the ditch - OUCH! Racer Kid Envy - well, the street go-carts are, um,.. HopeHoops Sep 2012 #1

And never straighter or cleaner. His 61 Chevy 3/4 ton is as nice Mopar151 Sep 2012 #4
I hope he doesn't have to get it inspected in PA - EVERY factory light has to work. HopeHoops Sep 2012 #7
He's in NY, and the old Chev has maybe 12 bulbs, total. Mopar151 Sep 2012 #8
