Congrats...

WOW.

I can't believe these cars can run 13.4's N/A. It's just sick.

:Beer

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, guys. I was hoping for one last run and was shooting for a 13.3...

but too many 'fast' cars were breaking on the track and us 'slow' cars got screwed out of a 3rd run in favor of everyone else and a gamblers race. But I felt confident having backed up the first run with a near identical second run.

All in all a great finish to the season. My goals had not only been achieved but soundly surpassed. :D

How much have you invested so far to turn those numbers?

I heard once if you want to become a millionaire in drag racing, you best start out as a billionaire. ;)

You can check my home page (http://mark8.org/users/driller/) for a list of mods(looks like I need to update the ET/MPH, again). It's not fair to say they're all responsible for those numbers, but it gives an idea of what it takes. Several key items are on their second stage of modification. For instance, the gears started as a set of 4.10s and a standard trac-lok. Now, they are 4.30s with a Detroit TrueTrac.

But basically the car is still a full weight luxury cruiser with original engine and tranny and just bolt-ons running naturally aspirated.

I love the MPH... and ET... but the MPH is slightly more impressive since you still have the stock intake manifold.

Well I wouldn't want you thinking it's "stock". It has been radiused, polished and coated to flow more but the runner length is stock length.

Not bad for a 'grandpa' car huh??:eek: :shifty: :D Congrats!!
