Mine was my Barracuda with a mild 318 in Denver...16.5-16.8.

The scariest run a saw was in the American Graffiti stick shift class at Bandimere. This class was laddered from round 1, slowest v.s. fastest. I remember seeing an old VW bug with a ~ 24 second dial up against a mustard yellow 50's Ford that dialed ~8.5...at the stripe the bug was going a little over 50 mph and the ford was over 160! Spooky!...thought the bug was going to end up on his window.

Years ago,running B/Dragster against Hunkey John Matusick at Pittsburgh International Dragway.He broke,I broke,him at near the 660' me near the 800'We both started pushing.I pushed across the finish line first,it seem like forever.We split the money over dinner at Fatigattis Resturant near the track.

LMAO!! Great story

69 coronet 318 2bbl auto. Only performace upgrade if you can call it that was a complete 2" dual exhaust system. I was shocked when it ran 15.69, not only that but it ran it almost every run. Ended up finishing runner up in trophy class ran a 15.71 on a 15.70 dial. Other guy just cut a great light. Here's the car before I put on the magnums. should have kept that car....

Towed my buddys ride to the track, had some issues so we unhooked the trailer and raced my 1990 F-150 5.0L. Air-pump removed, underdrive pulleys, chipped, bbk tb, equal length shorty headers, 2.25" dual exhaust, 3.55's, ran a whopping 18.32 @ 82 mph at 6000' DA...sad part I wasn't the slowest truck there lol...

My first was a "Borrowed" race car. It was a Crosley bodied altered. It had a boxed T Model frame, center steer, narrowed 57 GM rear. For power, I borrowed my cousin's Ford Flathead, 2X2s, Offy heads, 276", Isky cam, etc. Slicks were 6" recaps(very common in the early 60s). No trailer, a tow bar was the method of transport---pulled by a 54 Ford sedan(6 cylinder of course). Safety equipment included WWII surplus belts, P-51 fighter seat, a butterfly steering wheel and an open face Bell helment.

It ran a stout 88MPH in 1/4---don't remember the ET---probably in the 16 or 17s.

About five of us guys put this thing together---and groups like this don't last long, and this one didn't either. We split up after about a month---went our separate ways. The next year, I and a friend bought a 96" rail complete with trailer for $450. Got the flathead again and off to the races we went----ran that thing with the flathead and various GM SBs for several years.

I had a 72 Dart 225 6 cylinder that ran 17s, and my 92 D150 runs mid 15s and I actually do pretty good when I race it. I race Street Eliminator with my Dart ( 11.50-19.99) running 11.50s I`m leaving second most of the time. We have a weekly racer in a Caprice wagon that runs 18.0s he does pretty good its fun running him down at 115 mph but the wait to leave seems forever. My friend runs a 15 second 66 Biscayne in Pro Eliminator were 90% of the cars run 9s, 10s and 11s he does well because a lot of the fast cars say they can`t judge him at the stripe.

I was put up against a motorcycle in a heads up "grudge race" in my first Dodge Dart. I was running 11s, he was running 10s. We launched, and he immediately pulled ahead. His bike started wobbling, then spit him off. He slid directly in front of my car! Thankfully I got the car stopped pretty quickly, even with the skinny fronts and aired down slicks. The car kind of hopped to a stop and I came within three feet of the guy.

Once they got him cleared out of there I continued down the track real mellow. I think my damn leg was shaking... They actually had an ET slip for me. 1 minute 17 seconds.

I don't understand whey they let bikes run against cars:(

Not one that I ran,but years ago at aMMCI event at QuakerCity.I watched my son Curt run a local guy from our area with a 19 second Rambler,Curt was dialed a mid or low 9.It seemed like forever and when it looked like the Rambler was near the finish line Curt put the hammer down,passed him at the stripe for the win.The two got together after the run and Curt couldn't believe he caught the guy.Turns out the guy told Curt he jumped off the throttle and was on the brakes,he though he blew his engine,it was just that big Hemi rattling his glass as Curt came up on him.

My '77 dodge w100. It's a 4 speed 360 and it had a 2" lift with 31" tires and 3.55 gears. Funny thing is, it'd 60' fairly decently for what it was (can't remember the numbers, just remember being surprised) but trying to push a house through the air doesn't do much for the top end. 16.6 thru the mufflers and 16.4 open headers. It was always a crap shoot deciding to leave it in 3rd till the end or shift into 4th. Never seemed to make a difference timewise. 81 mph was about as fast as it'd trap. Wish I'd had time to take it to the track after I put the 408 in it. Where it used to run 80 mph it would go 94 at our hometown "track". Interesting how the distance between the 55 mph sign and the 70mph sign is almost exactly a 1/4 mile...

In 2008 my boy was running the IHRA Teen class in Tulsa.Had to be street legal vehicle running 10.00 or slower in the eighth mile and had to have an adult in the vehicle with him. We ran our 1982 Jeep J-10 truck with the 258 straight six. When we ran on Friday's with little track prep we dialed 13.50, but when they ran us on Saturday's during a regular race with a lot of VHT we usually had to dial around 14.20. He won five races with that truck that year and it was a blast getting to ride with him down the track. Oh and MPH was usually around 52.
