:cool: Yeah boys, Listen up!! I got called out yesterday at the World of Wheels. Yeah I was just minding my own business, when I walked up to the New England Dragway spot. There was Vinnie (for those who don't know him, he's a regular bracket racer at NED) and his newly done '70 Duster, with mind you a 632 All Aluminum Mountain Motor, single Dominator carb, Cast Aluminum Intake, Brodie 450 series conventional Heads, Motor Plate, mid-plate, on his Mopar K-member, Back- Half, 4-link Dana Rear, with 4.10's and Dbl beadlock mags on 31X14 MT's weighing in at 2840 lbs. with him in it. Wow! He yelled out loudly that he wants to grudge run me badly and he's gonna have some video people there to film the run! He claims it runs 8.00@169mph; vs my 3075 lbs. with me in it running 8.04@167.99. What a run that'll be. I can't wait. If it happens saturday the 19th, Joe will tell everyone that there's a grudge run gonna happen. Or it'll happen on the 26th. He also claims it was dynoed @ 1365 hp on motor and with a 300 shot of NOS it made 1600 hp. It's suppose to be a motor to motor run. My motor made 1216@7100 rpm so it should be verrrry interesting. Whoever comes out of the gate should be the desiding factor. We'll see! It'll be a Super Pro car vs a Top Sportsman car (his new desiqnation) I'll hold up the CMDR Banner High!!!!! Wish me luck everyone::D

Your absolutly correct Bruce Reily is from Nova Scotia and runs a 70 Chevelle in SS/EA
Dave Reilly was the driver of Bob Ramstrom's "Feather Duster" (that was a set-up to see if you would read this)

There's a true story about a certain 331ci engine getting tossed off the back of a ramp truck heading to Reid Automotive
by a certain BIG Blonde dude that worked for "Tusk" at Fig Newton

Oh & Dave Reilly YES That Dave Reilly the former President of New England Dragway Inc.always wore gloves when he raced the Feather duster! FYI, it was a 4-speed!

Real Men Row Gears!

Yeah, yeah yeah on the 331 but I won the race against Johnny Gray - ramp truck against Unit 7. The upside to that 331 taking the dump on Grafton Street was they found why the motor kept losing oil pressure going around in circles. The other issue with Dave Reilly's gloves was that they were white garden gloves that you plant tomatoes with - not racing gloves as we know them today. The best part of the Feather Duster (DODGE) was it ran with a SBC and ran real good. Long live the "Tusk", Wes and Vinny memories..........those were the days!!

Hey CMDR's The Cool Breeze Boys will be there on the 19th to run wit ch'all (slang):D...............Of course during a test & tune I will run Vinny. I gotta let it all hang out then. It won't interfere with my CMDR time trials. I didn't know Vinny started out as a CMDR boy or rather the car was. Oh well I'll do my very best to kick his ass................
