    Craig...yes Camo is considered official IHRA racing apparel in the south,We all wore Maverick T shirts to display a touch of class,and to keep from being invisable when standing near a wooded area. Olin is wearing jeans because he is a rebel who loves to go against the system and cause controversy.:p

    Sounds like fun to me. Now you need some gears to get that 60 ft time down.

    Best pass of the day was 9.67 which equals a 15.18 in the 1/4
    Acording to the calculator at:

    http://www.allfordmustangs.com/Detailed/638.shtml


    Frank has a very mild engine combo, (approx. 9:1 comp. very light exhaust port clean up, 204/214 dur.@.050 with .448/.472 lift. performer intake,600 Holley carb, Stock converter and an open differential with 3.00 gears and slapper bars. The car was running on 28 inch tall BFG 275 60 15 radials. I think it runs VERY well to have so few mods . :bananaman :bananaman :bananaman :clap:
