Went racing again

[parthos]

Well, I guess I may have gotten some respect for our IIs, cause I had a bunch of people asking me questions in the pits. I ran in Motor Magic in Minot ND. Best time was 7.39 in the 1/8th with a 1.59 60 foot. I got this pic off a guys website, gonna buy this in a poster size... http://angellnet.com/DAP/racing/2Sep06Disc1/pages/DSCF0074.htm I could have gone faster, but for some reason, they want 7.5 seconds as the cut off for a rollcage, and I don't have one. So the solution was to keep spacing my throttle so it won't open all the way and I brought my times up to low 7.5s and kept everyone happy.

Nice pic!

Do you have purple marker lights?

BTW, there's more pics of your car here... http://angellnet.com/DAP/racing/03Sep05Dsk1/index_2.htm

What motor /trans are you running?

 

[parthos]

The marker lights are just covered with window tint... That's gotta come off. As for engine and trans, it's a 302, 165 afr heads, victor intake, crower cam. Trans is a C4 auto, with and Edge torque converter. Really no suspention magic either, South Side machine lift bars in the back, stock V8 springs on all 4 corners, the front has camaro 90/10 shocks, 4.11 gears in the rear with a powertrax locker. Gonna hit the local dyno, the engine has more in it for sure, gonna try to get to a test n tune and see if I can hit 6.90s on the engine. Havent ran the spray yet on this engine. Had a ton of people ask me about it, seems that more and more people are building IIs around my area.

Parthos,

How do the Camaro guys like getting beat by a Ghia with a luggage rack?

 

[parthos]

Funny thing about the luggage rack... the track announcers kept talking about my car when I would stage... they were giving me crap about the luggage rack, but heck everyone does.... Oh and hubcaps too. To prep for racing the only thing I do is take the hubcaps off, rear tires are DOT legal, dang do I get crap about having hubcaps.
