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.
67 Barracuda street car, 408, e85, 1.38 60', 6.44 @105.9 in the 1/8 mile, 10.19 @130.5 in the 1/4...so far....

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.
