Alright guys and gals I'm not here much,(don't have time good excuse.) Just finished a fellow racers chassis setup,4 link etc.1962 Chev. Nova car weighs 2361 without driver. b/4 I started it ran 9.01 1/4 should go mid 8,s. He is a friend so no BS.My best in my charger flat is 9.31 again 1/4. remember this is a friend no money, braggin' rights. GM vs Mopar. Here's the deal I think he let his mouth overload his ###.We go to the tree stage both beams He kills his ignition and waits on the tree to start.(Yeah we can do that here in Ga. TNT) tree comes down I'm gone and he says he will cross first.What do you think boys and girls. I say he's stupid.Let you know sat. morn. oh, yeah thanks mr-p. Kermit )

Well if its still running 9.0 and you run 9.3....
you SHOULD take him(I believe it will take more than
.3 to fire it and pull it into gear and take off)

Also... for me I have to be up in the revs before I can launch... say about 3500 rpms OR it wont plant the tires and it'll just SPIN... I dont know about his car if it would do the same thing..... either way have fun BUT raise the bet

Thank's Bill, It might be crazy but at 63 yrs. old I don't bet on races. I just love drag racing have for over 50 yrs.Now if he want's to bet the beverage of our choice when I bust his ### then I can go as high as 20 new Summit hats or 5 cases of. Set for tomorrow night at Silver Dollar Raceway,Reynolds,Ga. You'all don't concern your self Check here am. tomorrow.Down here we use chevy's for rust prevention!!! I'll get Ed,the track owner to throw some pics on the web.thank's folk's k.d.hull

I like to put it in gear and roll a few inches so the tranny is fully engaged. I'd be leary of firing the motor and just slamming it into gear and stabbing the throttle.  But anyways good luck and have fun!!
