I'd love to hear what they were using for a drive train in that.

I had a 54 Dodge truck with a 165,000 mile 360 2 bbl, 727, 2:76 rear geared 8 1/4 and a Volari front clip that pulled low 18 second quarters, first time out! By the end of the day, I was down into the mid 17s (4 runs, total)! I was going faster on the highway getting to the drag strip (1000 miles from home) then the truck was was going down the quarter. It was a great driver, but not much of a racer. It was all in great fun! Gene
