    Love those cars, Got time to get a soda before the finish. :D Too bad I cant bring 2. I'd bring my 71 with the factory HiPo 170 3 speed. Could pair them up.

    HiPo 170 :hmmm: is that like "military intelligence" :biglaugh:
    I know if I post that time on the timeslip database it would make me #71 out of 72 :yikes:

    I went that slow my first pass with the grabber. I wasnt used to the car or the track yet and it took me 22 seconds to get down the strip trying to let off enough for the tires to stop smoking:slap::rofl2: bet i could get a worse time in your yellow car too:D

    The look on my face shows I tried to "WILL" mine down the track!

    well back to the tuning tree :rofl: ...cause I spanked his bottom :D
    I even gave him .4 head start (due to the fact that I reacted in yellar the same as PINKY) for some reason the response wasn't the same :huh:

    flyin'....maybe another mile or 2 and I would have been ready for lift off :drive:

    I went to high school with a guy who told people he had a 'big block 4 cyl.' in his Pinto. I honestly think he believed that.
