I decided to meet Wafflebatter at Thompson for a gamblers race Saturday since the weather was looking good. Anyway...I've been running the car on the launch control because of...well..lets just say BGR built a motor with a bit to much power for my ride without an anti-roll..  The car is still running a 850 Holley and would no doubt benefit from a dominator. So...it ran a 8.95 @ 148 off the trailer I was .005 ..second TT I lifted when it got a bit loose at the 1/8th mile. On to the Gamblers....all six of us ..First round it ran a 8.94 @ 149 with me -.0005 red on the tree...he was dialed 9.71 and left about a half an hour early giving me the win  ..I drew the buy for the final and parked it. In the final I got the right lane which I hadn't been down and it left hard..well aas hard as it does set up soft. I picked up two in the 60ft and lifted before the 1000ft...I was .010 to his .040 and caught him quickly when his fuel pump belt fell off. I figure it would have been a low 8.91... I think this car will run 8.70's or maybe .60's with the right carb and the anti-roll 
5.53 @ 125 1/8th on the launch control..more left in her!

Rumor at the shop is your scared of it  With a good carb and proper tuning and some suspension mods we are all thinking mid to low eights.
Congrats but really a 850 carb  I guess you didnt want to go faster ! Iam with BG on this. Put a SV-1 on it now !

Thanks folks....the 60ft. was only 1.27 and change on the last hit..it's been 1.21 with the 512 off the launch control. I figure it's good for sub 1.20 60's when it's sorted out. ...Bob..better watch it...we can shoehorn you in the little green go-cart 
 You might get me in,but you can't make me go down the track.Donny asked me if I wanted to drive the 65.I told him go find himself.I've driven those short wheelbase cars with big power years ago I sometimes need that poultry icon for myself.
My biggest problem is I'am always nervous in the stagging lanes but when the lights come down I get really stupid.

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.
