My little '66 was running strong through the 1/8 mile at Friday's Test and Tune but laid down on the top end on all 3 runs. The 2nd run it acted as though it was out of gas at about the 1000 ft mark so I let out and the power immediately came back so I got back on the throttle only for it to die again. So I coasted to an 11.71 @ 110mph on my worst run. That run was also my worst 60 foot at 1.81 because I spun.
The good news: My other 2 runs were both under 11.50. On all 3 runs my 1/8 mile mph was over 96. My best run looked like :
60' ... 1.642
330 ... 4.661
1/8 ... 7.211
MPH ... 96.09
1000 ... 9.446
1/4 ... 11.383
MPH ... 115.59
My 1/4 mph was down a bit so I have to figure out why. But I was still pretty happy about running a new best time. Still running 3.55 gears, 235 drag radials, and 8" rear end.
Plus: It made it even sweeter winning 2 $50 gift certificates for having the quickest street car there. I was actually surprised to win this because there were LOTS of cars there for the final race of the year. Lots of fast ones too!
11 sec. supercharged Stangs, 12 sec. turboed Thunderbird, 12 sec. new GTO, new Nissan GTR, 13 sec. Challenger, 12 sec. ZO6, 11 second newer model Camaro, tubbed out 11 sec. Pro Street 455 Pontiac, etc.... Fun night of racing!
Can't wait till next year!
