It was the Summer of 1987, Norwalk Raceway Park, I bought a 1972 Plymouth Fury former highway patrol car 440, with 3.23 single wheel peel and went 15.90 smoking one tire to the 330....went 93mph not bad for a wore out Police car..I wish I still had it.
John Belushi (Jake Blues): ... this car has a lot of pickup ... Dan Aykroyd (Elwood Blues): ... its got a cop moter of 440 cubic inch plan, its got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks ... the model made before catalytic converters so it will run good on regular gas ... what do you say, is it the new Blues Mobile or what? John Belushi: ... fix the cigarette lighter ...

in 1969 I had a 64 dart GT with a 225 and 3 on the tree running Q/Stock...that was at GreatLakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wisc.
My first car was a 64 Dart 270, /6 225 and an auto. It was not drag worthy..lol.. but I tried. This was in '68, Smokin'..looks like we had the same idea! 64 Darts rule!

turned 16 in October, got license in hand the following march, April I was at Milan Dragway running a 1981 Mustang notchback with a 5.0 auto. cant remember what it ran, 15's? First run I went up and rolled the line, started staging with the rear tires.
Later that summer, I had a 1968 road runner, 383 automatic.

1957 in a 1955 Ford 272" 2 bbl. No times. No clocks. Flagman at the start and a flagman at the finish to indicate the winner. No drivers license. I was only 12 but that didn't make any difference to anybody. On the old airport runway, parts of which are still left.

66 dart 4dr, 76 360 short block bone stock includeing 2bbl cam, 302 heads from 87 318 360 4bbl iron intake, 2.94 7.25 open diff 205-70-15 tires, managed a 9.43 @ 74ish with a 2.0 flat 60ft. Actually the first pass was like 14seconds or so, every one told me it would hook way better than it did on the street and I should launch with brake and gas mashed, I smoked the one tire the entire 1/8th mile after that I did it my way and came in 2nd place for the eavning foot brake bracket.
