First 1/4 mile pass 9.536 @ 141.67 mph video

Ok, so based on your 1/8th mile mph and weight, I think you are in the same boat as I am----that is the car should be a 5.9X car in the 1/8th and a 9.3X car in the 1/4.

As for me, I am hoping to pick up a couple mph when the air gets better. I have been racing in 2500-3500+ DA. I am getting new relocation brackets welded in for the lower control arms so we will see later this month when I go back to the 1/4 mile track.

I could live with that. For a while! LOL

Got the M/T 10.5W's on, they are a big tire. Should have absolutely no problem hooking at the track now! 9.30s here I come! I also got my official NHRA number. Ordered some custom decals in silver and black (instead of the plan white) to match the rest of the car. Here are some pictures from today:

You have done yourself proud w/that car. It's absolutely AWESOME

damn thats a beautiful car !!!!

Vert Nice looking ride

One thing I do on mine when I open my hood I stick my hood pins back in the holes.That way for some reason I get in a hurry I don't for get to put them back in when I close the hood.I don't know if you do that or not but have seen hoods fly off where someone grts in hurry and leave the pins out,they will hood the up that way help to not forget them.

Thank you! I worked on it for 1 1/2 years, mostly in my garage (except the engine and cage) and I am happy with the result. Its exactly what I wanted, new body with an "old school" motor that I am very comfortable working on.

You SHOULD be proud of that ride! It's really nice. I haven't been able to get back to the track since the bash. Good luck on those .30's!

Let me know how it goes.

Looking good. I like the stock/super stock look. What class is C/Gas?

C gas in the WCHRA is a 9.60 index. I figure if I can run 9.30s in good track conditions, I should be able to run a 9.60 in almost anything, even at Vegas where the DA is close to 4000 often. The same class is "Quick Street" in PSCA.
