How my fish became a drag car...
So, this is where I come in. Never drag raced in my life. Always wanted to. Not getting any younger. Soooo.... got some cash to spend and a friend who wants to teach me to drag race - Time to do it!
So the 6th phase goes like this:
A couple years ago I start looking for a drag car. But first I do some research and run across the B3 articles. I was really impressed with how Dave got such great times out of what intially was a pretty low tech build. I also learned a lot from the B3 articles. One day I go to Racing Junk.com, and holy ****, the B3 was for sale. I called Dave and bought the car.
Two days later I hook my trailer to the Hemi and cruise to Florida to pick up the car. I spent the 1st hour at Dave's place going thru his 8 garages, each with a different project car - Very cool! Dave also has an 8 sec tube chassis 68 Cuda with a blown Hemi. We plan to run both cars side by side down the strip in Columbus this year at the Mopar Nationals. So we load the B3 and some misc extra parts into my trailer and I cruised home
Two weekends later I go to the local track and scare the crap out of myself making my first 2 passes in the car. I did not hurt anyone or bend anything! What a rush!!!!
A couple weekends later I come back and make 4 more passes lifting at 1000 ft each time so as not to go under 10 sec (Need to have a NHRA license to do that or they kick you out of the track). Best time was a 10.7 ET in the quarter mile. Then winter comes so I have to park my fish in the shop.
Next task - Get my license this spring so I can run the bad boy all out!
