7.9

Hey, does that equate to a 13 or 14 Second Quarter time?
Thats pretty quick!

Scott, sorry, I missed the question you posted. I went on line to a 1/8 to 1/4 mile conversion calculator and it says 7.90 would be about a 12.32 in the quarter. I know the motor was good enough for better times, it was those dumb Firestone old timey slicks that weren't.

What surprised me when I looked at the conversion table is that if I could have gotten the car down to a 7.65 that would have put me in the 11.s at 11.93. And if I could have knocked a second off of my 7.90 time and turned a flat 7 second run, that would relate to a 10.92.

But I had a lot of fun and came home safe with no real problems. There were so many things that could have gone wrong, like I have no blowproof bellhousing and I kept worrying about the flywheel coming through the floor, or getting sideways and hitting the wall or worse. The Man upstairs let me have a nice day with a lot of nice memories, and that was enough for me.

As for another project..........maybe, but this one will be my Son Don's. He and I did a little horsetrading recently and I traded him the 460 engine and Jackson Racing C6 I have had sitting for a 93 Mustang fastback he had sitting. He is going to build the 460 to put in his 79 Capri drag car. He got bitten by the bug to go racing while at the track Sunday, so I think I will help him spend his money.
