Launch off idle at 1500, check track position (you know up against the wall, on the centerline, well I'm preaching to the choir here) Shift when wheels touch, then shift again when that funny little yellow light comes on (that second shift is for the Mopar only crowd), cross the line at 7700. Was I suppose to look at the tach before the finish line?




That's my secret driving technique who let the cat out of the bag??

tire tracks like my pass here


My way works better,wheels up and straight down the track.No riding the guide rail or squiggly tire tracks.

But I get to look out the side window and see more than you do


I got a look out of my side window at BSD this year and didn't like it

No that was a picture perfect run,I was AJ Casini high at the 60'.My last run against the Ford Fairlane I went toward the grass back peddeled straightened out,pulled second and found myself looking straight down track through the side window,I peddled pulled high gear straghtened it out,stabbed it to the floor ran a low 10 at 139 but the Ford still had me at the stripe.It was the same lane that killed Chris,Ronny McCelland and about 5 others before they stopped the race to tune up the starting line.Of course it was nothing like Chaz on Sat.night wheelstand the 65 into Ronny McC's lane and the two running the full 1/4 in the same lane.

Fred, I don't that you were doing it right on that pass?

Not an expert, but you're doing it wrong.

New mild street motor in car based on 68 SS/Factory stock motor out of A body, Launch as hard as street tires car handle, shift at 7800. Both motors built on the stock specs of the crank,no stroked crank.

Fred. Car has 538s and back in the Seventies the transmission had Doug Nash internals in a Chrysler Box,can not remember the first gear ratio, but it had a lot higher number than a stock Chrysler Box.
