Default Bracket racer and newbie to site

Hi all mopar fans my name is James im a new member. I am a bracket racer from Mississippi. I have a '75 Plymouth Duster w/451 ci ( 440 block 55 over ) big block. Car name is Mississippi Kid. I run on a track that dont have much stopping room so they dropped the finish line to 600ft 60 ft short of a true 1/8 mile. My best time was 6.60 @ 93 mph with a 1.52 60'. Just wanted to introduce myself and invite all to check out my pics in members gallery. Thanks for the site its a good place just to meet mopar fans and good people.

wow..thats a pretty quick car!!

i woud imagine that a 1.5 60', and a 6.60 1/8, would put the high tens..

however, the mph seems a bit off...do you have VERY steep gears?

Welcome to Dodge Forum, I'm guessing that you have a high 10 second car as well like Badstrat said.
That MPH is more like my Roadrunner that runs mid 11's. But I'm guessing the extra 60' would get you a 6.80 or something but that's still high tens.
I bracket race, build engines and drink beer but not all at the same time!
Great to have you here!

Thanks to all that replyed. Yes the mph is a little off do to the 60' short track.
They said to add about 4 numbers to that in a true 1/8, so that would put it around 7 flat. People that run in 1/4 tells us it would be high 10's or low 11's. It is an all motor car with 4.56 gears. It is my first motor to build but i had my dad and teamate to walk me through it. It has a 550 lift solid bump stick from comp. I run a 93/112 octane gas mixed. I am now working on a new motor. It is a 400 mopar big block with a milled 440 steel crank. A stroked 451 bb hoping to have around 700hp on motor. Talk to everyone later i hope the mph question was answered.

No its not streetable and is caged. It has open headers and all the light wires were cut. It also has slicks and electric water pump and burns gallons per mile lol. We use to have it as a show car and it was streetable but now its strictly racing now.
