So the car is unchanged this year. Last weekend I had it at the old time drags again. It was cooler than last year. The car ran an all time best of 13.29 @ 101 mph! Awesome.Well....I just got back from a weekend of drag racing. I managed to make15 1/4 mile passes over three days, all in the 13.4 to 13.5 range. The best was a 13.44 at 99.5 mph with a 60' of 1.8. Not spectacular but certainly respectable for a 4000 pound street car. I went as far as the semifinals before breaking out.
Here is a pic...... battle of the 55's
