Run him, spank him and be done with it. Remember my "got a race with a big tire`d nova"............still waiting. A track tested car usually whoops a high horsepowered car that hasn`t been flogged from my experience and if that`s an 8-second car I agree it`s in the 1/8th. Go for it if he doesn`t chicken out and get video...........

My guess is he stomps into it and finds out in a real hurry that this ain't the local show-N-shine. By the time he gathers himself, you're long gone. IF it runs right with a huffer, there's no way that little thing goes straight and makes a full pass with a novice driver. Too much chrome for 8's.

It's a Morris Minor and unless they're built right they can be very unstable. If it's not a seasoned race car, i think you will win quite comfortably.

Make sure you leave on him, so when he crosses into your lane you're already gone. That assumes the thing can hook.

that car has the look of one that has never been to the track. driver probably hasn't either. they think they'll hook and go. you'll have fun watching him in your rearview. be careful. get in front and run.


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

It looks like a wall slammer for sure to me. The combo in the picture is a boat anchor motor with some chrome. If it's the same motor, now with an 8/71, I'd bet money it ain't tuned properly and by "runs 8's" it's probably closer to figure 8's.

I've seen one that suppossedly ran in the 5's. It had a TAD 500 inch Hemi in it. Unbelivably scary to watch, never saw a full pass, constantly heading for the rails
Also there's a blown SBC pick up version over here that regularly runs in the mid 8's.

Cool shot Tig!

Morris Minors are neat little cars.

I am not sure about the wheelbase on one but I can not believe it is any shorter than an Arrow or a Colt and those are made into race cars on a somewhat regular basis. Certainly different, especially up in Babylon.
