i showed up to the track once in my '78 valiant utility with a 265 cu in hemi six. dialed in at 18.0. just left it in drive & it did 18.0 all night long. with a reputation of cutting a mean light i had 4 red light wins to get me into the semi's which i won but lost the final.

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.




Slowest car I ever raced was my old 74 Dodge Charger with a 340. It ran 17.1. After I got an edumacation, it ran 14.4.

The fastest car was the 74 Dodge Charger. With a 496 it ran 10.80 in full street trim.

My 1980 Mirada 318 2 barrel w/ 2.21 gears. ran a best of 12.57 at 56 mph in the 1/8 mile. Actually won 2 trophies in that car. Easy to be consistent when the car can't even spin the tires on wet pavement.

Hello everyone. I googled slowest bracket car and found yalls site. Cool site by the way. I see I have found some comp with slowrides. Slowride happens to be my dads name for 3 of his rides in footbrake. I just sold slowride #4 .74 nova it was the slowest of all 4 rides. 12:80 / 8.00. I know..... not that slow but here's where it gets good and slow. I'm from TEXAS and race at Houston raceway park and Lonestar racway park in sealy tx.. Lonestars a 1/8 mile IHRA track. Back in 2000 I was bored so took the 30 min drive to lonestar for a $1000 footbrake race. Driving my high powered 79 corolla 2 door hachback powered by a 4 cyl running on 3 cly . Plug wire was even missing. Lol. I got there late so I got 2 tech cards for practice. Lost first round to a good friend John Cox on both cards. Car blistard the timers with a 13.45 @ 42mph with 3.11 60ft (.021 rt.) I had a 13.00 on window. So second card I put a 13.50 on window and it ran 13.70. Not good. So I bought back an both cards and put a 14.50 on window and started going some rounds. I think fourth round I had bye but even amount of cars . The other car dials a 6.78 and runs dead on . I went .006 and 12 off to take win at 25mph. !!! Next round I get my dad and he knows I'm bagging but I know that he knows .lol So he spots me and plans on braking me out! He stomped brake same time as I did and I ran 1 off to his 1 under for a win at 36mph. I ended up getting down to 5 cars 2 were me!! Lost both in 1/4 ers . I ran it at baytown in import class ran 23.65......so I dialed 24.70. Won 2 weeks in row .

a 1966 Barracuda, 273 2bbl automatic.

thing would launch incredible, then just lay over... 24.xx in the quarter. the timing system would nearly reset itself waiting for me to finish a run.

this car was a certified POS, no tail lights, so I'd have to ride the brake when driving at night, no heater, so i'd have to scrape the inside of the windows as i'd drive in the winter, tore the exhaust off getting stuck on a tree stump behind the tower at Milan Dragway, Flex piped a new exhaust on it.
perfect first car for a 16 year old.

88 Dynasty.

I (and a few friends) went numerous rounds in that car. Made it to the semi's one night, after winning 6 previous rounds.

I remember thinking (17 or so at the time) that this bracket racing thing is cake. LOL.

Best ET was 18.12. From what I remember in all of the passes I made in that car, the ET range was from 18.12-18.27ish. It was dead nuts consistent. Wish I was half as consistent.


72 RR, Pump gas 440, 452s, 3800 lbs, Corked, ET Radials,. 11.33@117.72. Same car, bone stock 346s, 9.5 comp, baby solid. 12.24@110.

Back in the 90's i owned a Napa store and I would race the Aspen and Volare delivery wagons from time to time if the racecar was not running. The fast one would go 20's and the slow one would go in the 21's. I also used to loan them out to friends who needed something to race. Here is a pic of theslow one.

man, i thought i would have this nailed, but after reading some of the other responses, well...i took my wifes eagle station wagon out one day, dialed a 19.75 and got to the finals where i got happy feet and redlighted. that dial almost seems too fast for this topic!


It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

1965 Dart GT with the 273 HP and automatic tranny. I think it ran a 12 in the 1/8 mile.

I had a 1984 Turismo 2.2 that was a blast to drive that ran 10.8 in the 1/8. It was horrible in the 60 ft. Course it was not stock at all.
