Thread: Your best ET in a full bodied car?

Tweet

71 Nova, mild 350 with 456 gears that ran 14.60's 1/4 track with everyone in the pits shaking their heads at me because I was running wore out street tires and smoking/squealing them halfway down the track. And as alot of young nukkleheads do, I wrecked it on the street before I could afford to put slicks and slapper bars on it to see what it could really do.

4.70's @ 150+ all eighth mile...depended on EVERTHANG from air to tune to tires to how much the kids were buggin me
598ci, Dart 360 headed, 3-stage with lenco ... car at 3000lbs

142ci flat 4 VW on street tires and pump gas!

Wow, beautiful cars, engines and times here!

Well, here's a "full body" car alright, and an everyday driver, too! This one had a 400 (stock except for a bigger cam) with a Q-jet on top. "...And in the far lane, bringing home the groceries..." said the tower! Well, I got some respect after blowing both tires for the first 50' or so! It will never hook up with that single-leg rear end and street tires, though, but it will still scoot! It will sure never tote the tires like some of you guys do, though! ;-)

Ran nearly a 10 flat in the 1/8th at 70 mph. As you can see on the right, I killed the tree but broke out! I just retired the 400 for a 383 that has a little more. I hope to run 12s in the 1/4. It will still blow the tires, I know, but I hope to make it up on the far end! Still breaking her in kinda easy yet. The old motor is for sale now, complete.




Hadn't cleaned her up under the hood with the new motor yet.




In the driveway this weekend. Those are NOT "before" brake lights - it's a launch, not a burnout.

Heck yeah that has to be one of the best sleepers I have seen. It's a 4 door, big and (no offense) kind of ugly color. That is sweet though, I like the carpets!

Anyone here racing a truck? I know your talking about full bodied cars but what about a truck? Trucks are heavy as crap...

I got to make two passes this past season. The two that I made were a 330' pass, and a 1/4 mile pass. I was checking out the handling of the car seeing as how everything is new. We had the throttle limited to only open half way, and did not have the NOS on. Managed a 9.32 @148 mph. I am all set for the season opener in April 2006.

9.32@148, that's it? Haahahaha just messing. That is fast as heck for only half throttle and nothing else! Guess all the work on that thing paid off huh?

Pro60's car is a real crowd pleaser. It's so different. People in the stands really pay attention. Can't imagine the kind of ride he's in for when he gets it set up. Pro, let me know when you go to New England Dragway. Don't want to miss it.
By the way HAPPY HOLIDAYS

and "MARRY CHRISTMAS" to you.

Really anxious to see the numbers (and the video) when you "unleash the beast", Pro 60!!!!! Should be awsome. Just keep it between the guardrails and don't lose track of where the chute handle is!!!

Hey Sleeper, that one definitely qualifies as a sleeper!!!! Very nicely done, some very nice detail touches!!!! Also, IMO, the wheels are perfect for it!!!!!

Hey guys, if you wanna lose a .10 of a second then just pretend I was in the car and there you go. I am 18 and weigh a wopping 105 pounds! Haaahaha. Seriously too, I just weighed myself at the doctors and only 105 pounds.... I am sure most of you are in your high 100's almost 200 or a tad more right? Every 100 pounds you lose it's a 10th off the second. See!!! Yeah so I can be a driver for a drag race team and acutally help.
