Title: Race Car.
Post by: twolanes on March 04, 2013, 07:06:12 PM
Our Mopar collection has grown. We have just bought the 1968 Dodge Super Bee race car that we took to Basingstoke a few years back. Its a b$lls out drag car. Its got a 550cu in Koffle engine (over 9 liters) and once we have worked some majic should run low 9s/high 8s on race fuel. The plan is to run it on (race) petrol then either add Nitrous or go to Alky. Fingers crossed it will be over here in a month or 2.

We have chosen the name for our race team. Its "beehiveracing" as we are the home of Mopar B bodies here on Malta.We are thinking of calling the race car "Maltese Missile". All 3 of our cars are B body Mopars so it seemed fitting. Even bought the domain name.

Looking forward to following the team's progress Dave.
You really need a '69 Charger for your fleet you know.
