    Hoping to go to Fontana in 2 weeks. It's on saturday, 1/4 mile track. The car isn't in race condition but if I can get it fixed by then I'm going for sure. :bananaman

    Can you get someone to take some videos of your runs?

    In case you haven't noticed, I am drag racing vicariously through you, since mine is not running...yet.

    I'm kinda glad you haven't posted any numbers. You have spent 10x as much as you and definitely would not go as fast as you.

    I posted numbers, but took them down because they were on my old flat tappet motor. So i deleted them from the timeslip database so people wouldn't think I was getting such poor numbers on my current engine.

    Last time at the track was in March 06 (I know, I should be ashamed of myself!) and on the stock block ran 9.396 at 75.63 on the 1/8th and 2.182 60'.

    The current engine SCREAMS compared to the old one, plus I have added caltracs, subframe connectors, new cam, new heads, new block all roller, and E/T street slicks, and possibly the nitrous if I ever get the parts in the mail, so I am expecting a little kick in the pants next trip out!!!
