I am referring to guys like Scotty Richardson, Luke Bogacki, and Ricky Baehr who win darn near every footbrake and or no box race they enter. light car or heavy car you won't find a three speed in one of their cars unless its in stock or super stock and they are required to have them. You wanna line up with one of those boys you better be able to go dead on cause chances are slim you are gonna out drive them at the stripe.

Everyone has an opinion on the subject but what is a fact is that few three speeds are winning many big money bracket races. Charlie is correct though that if you want to go faster 3 gears is the only way to go! Well to a point anyway. Top fuel is anomoly Oh and I was talking no box cars above. Any mention of heavy hitters in the box classes must include the king of Mopar bracket racers Johnny Labbous Jr.

SCDaytona, Pictures of big wheelies DO NOT prove that a car is 60 footing well, you are correct...we just LIKE posting said pics of big wheelies whenever there is an excuse to do so!!!
For the record, I've NEVER converted a 727 car to a glide, I have, however bought 3 mopars that already had glides in them, and have been happy with their performance. The biggest difference IMO is that the convertors for a glide are vastly superior than anything available for a 727/904
