Thread: Sorry It Took So Long

Great Runs!! Do you have any pics and specs on the car/motor combo?

Thanks!! There is quite a bit of information on our web site at www.1960belair.com

We went to the track this weekend to have my son get his license passes in. He did the required 330' - 1/8 - 1/8 - 1/4 then we ran out of time. The passes were done on the motor only so he could get used to the car and how it handles. The second 1/8th mile pass, I gave him just the first stage to get him used to how it launches. His reply at the end of the track was along the lines of HOLY CRAP!! On the first full pass, he was able to get the feel of the car at speed. That pass netted him a 8.32 at 165. Today we were supposed to make one more pass, and I was prepared to give him both stages, but a valve train gremlin snuck in there and put an end to our day before it even started. I have to tear it down this week and see what the misery is and get it fixed. I have to add in here that for someone that has been out of a race car for close to 5 years, he was incredible, and now I can't wait to get it fixed so he can finish up his final pass and show me how he does with all the power.
