Zippy vs Labratt, heating up the tires....this is the best example of my homemade X pipe's sound, for what little you can hear of it:
Link 4

And for the grand finale', 69 GTX VS 69 GTX, Randy VS Rich......THE LOW MEAN GREENIE VS THE HIGH AND MIGHTY ROAD WARRIOR REJECT (good grief that's brutal...sorry, coundn't resist)

well I found the website and looking at the rules I see this (

DRIVERS MUST KEEP FRONT WHEEL ON TRACK . NO LIFTING FRONT WHEEL OVER 8 INCHES.FRONT WHEEL MUST BE ON THE TRACK PAST 60FT. MARK) are they for real!!!!!!

And if you believe that, I have a really nice bridge to sell ya, it runs from Detroit to Canada...I'll take 50 bucks for it. Deal?

They aren't super observant there...they looked inside mine when I arrived, and said "you got a lap belt?" and that was it. I'm pretty sure nobody is sitting there with a tape measure waiting for wheelies to exceed 8 inches....

Lapeer definitely seems to be hit and miss enforcing rules. I made a pass without my jacket (forgot it at home) without a word. About 1/2 hour later they announced that you must have a jacket. Put on my fall jacket and made another pass.

Mike,Rich ran a 11.09@ 123 mph. I ran a 11.38 @ 119 mph. He won, hands down! But I'm only running a little ole' 448! Both X's accounted for themselves quite nicely,if I do say so myself! Especially with the DA around 2800-3200!

My 3 cubic inch advantage was the determining factor???

The way I see it, we're both just trying to answer a simple question: "How do I run 10s in a street/strip '69 GTX?"....

We've both almost got our answer....but, our answers are going to be different because we have different ideas on what's streetable....personally I think that's cool that two combos that different can run that close to the same.

Like the old saying..."there's more than one way to skin a deer" (since I would never consider skinning a cat....
I like cats). That rather bad joke was for Todd440 if he happens to read this....

Mike, mine was run through the exhaust and Randy had
I think cutouts or open headers(?) I'm too lazy to take the exhaust off anymore.

Yeah Mark!

I did a little tuning about FOUR YEARS AGO, and finally found out the results. Rather pathetic, no?

Not as pathetic as working off and on since 1994 on a car and it's STILL not done!

Was hoping to tool around in it this summer but looks like next year?!?

Rich,speaking of Todd,I sent him a PM on friday or saturday telling him we'd be out there,he only lives 5-10 minutes away from the track,but never heard back from him. He built my motor 5 yrs. ago! Good guy!
