I dont know where to start so lets kick it off this way…I dont want to leave anyone out so if you have ever liked a post, pushed us in the lanes, driven the DART, loaned us any tools or parts, took a pic of it, talked about it, touched it, filled my nitrous bottles or you are a FB friend that I have never met before that has pulled for us from the beginning, Thanks for helping us get to where we are with this car. I was looking for someone to help me take this Leaf Spring Mopar to the next level. I had a dream of being competitive in the 275 radial world with a nItrous powered Chrysler 69 Dart and we are well on our way. Just recently we upgraded a few areas and I asked Chad F. Branson if he would be interested in driving my car to help us get back going. He said yes and here we go. He brought 2 of the sharpest guys I have ever been around since I have been racing to insure we had everything lined up. Mark Barnett and Lyle Barnett are some absolute machines, I have never seen a program come together as fast as this one did. At noon on friday along with the best crew chief in the world, Michael Mag Gough and the best nitrous tuner on the planet Kevin Neal, these five put things in motion. They had never worked together on a car before and the first full hit was a personal best by .02 sec on a power wheelie, had to lift, but still went 4.81. Second trip down the track it skipped the 70s and ran a 4.66 @ 153 mph. I want to thank Lane Crowell and Deda Ford Minor at PTC for the absolute perfect converter, Jeff Burns for sticking with me and building the baddest Predator headed Nitrous breathing MOPAR bullet out there and for being a very good friend as well, MarkandAlly Menscer for going above and beyond to get us going in the right direction with the suspension, Kevin Mitchell for treating everything he has done to my car as if it were his own ride he was fabbing for, Dave Klaput at Proformance Racing Transmissions for the killer 400, Ricky Pate for the endless work he has done at the track the last few years, Tyler Clark for literally designing my shirts, the baddest t-shirts in drag racing, Holly Springs Motorsports, Terry Forsythe, and Bebop for giving us the best surface in the country to call our home track, my mama and daddy Danny Kathy Digby for believing in me and keeping the bottles warm, Wade Hopkins for getting this car headed in the direction it needed to go this time last year and your vision of the potential it had, all of my fellow leaf spring buds, Joey Bryant, Bryan and Ryan Marrow, Ron Rhodes, Artis Houston, and many others for the inspiration to go faster, my wife Susanne Sykes Digby ,that I love more than anything in this world, knows that I have a passion for drag racing and lets me chase my dream, Scotty Stites, Robert Williams and Tim Turner, I would not have the car I have today if you were not involved in the journey, Thank all of you mopar guys Larry Boyd, Gary Robbins, Scott Robbins, Brad Watt and so many more for pulling for us and dont stop now, The one that has been there for the whole journey has been my friend, crew chief and master fabricator, Micheal Mag Suppa Tigga Gough, could not have done it without you bro. We have a tiger by the tail and lets let him run. Most of all I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for all of the people he has put in my path in this little world we call RADIAL DRAG RACING and allowed me to pursue my dream!!!! If I left anyone out just add your name in the comments!! thank you all
