330+ Passes and Still Turning on Win Lights: Lonnie Smith’s Blackbird Race Spec 700+
While we had several racers we’ve partnered up with out doing well at Moparty last weekend, there were many others up at the great Mopar event in Norwalk (these two events will not overlap next year).
Lonnie Smith, had a detuned Blackbird Performance Race Spec 800+ in his beautiful Dart but sadly, a combination of over-fueling, diluted and/or insufficient oil in the pan, took out a rod bearing at only about 50-60 passes, so while it’s back for diagnosis/repair, we put back to work the Race Spec 700+ with 330+ passes on it. Knowing Lonnie, he’s added quite a few, turning on win lights.
At Norwalk, as he often does, he took the win in the G3 Hemi class and brought home some money.
Great job Lonnie !!!
