So this thread hasn't been updated in forever, all my pics seem to have broken links.

Ran the car in the 1/8th mile, it is a little heavier then we anticipated, 2660 with me in it.

Video of that pass

Ya after I saw the video I tightened up the rebound on the car to help keep the rear end planted, helped a ton, best 60ft so far is a 1.38. I think we can get into the low 1.3's when we move the ladder bars and have a real sticky track in the fall

Nice pass. You really should be wearing a Hans device or at a minimum one of these.

They're 30$ bucks.


EDIT: holy crap! Didn't think the pic was that big. lol

I have a neck brace, NHRA doesn't require it until you reach 9.99 and IHRA doesn't require it until 9.00. Next year if we get our bigger carb ill be running full gear more then likely, pants / gloves / neck brace

Getting closer, still on the 750cfm carb, DA was 2400ft. Just got a new 950cfm carb, we had it flowed and it flows 1014cfm (compared to 833cfm that our 750 flowed). We were planning on going to Renegade this weekend but the weather doesn't look the best, but if the rain stays away the DA is suppose to be in the low 1,000's which would be awesome.

Yellow is gone finally, still working on mounting the hood, also got some fiberglass bumpers, will post pictures once it is all done.

Been forever since an update, all the original picture links don't work and im too lazy to upload them all haha.

 

[mr2cam]

Well this post should finish this thread off, wish the old picture links still worked, finally got into the 9's today, felt good

 

[Dusten]

Might want to explain the updates

 

[mr2cam]

Sorry im lazy, motor is now a 400ci instead of the 383, dart little m block, AFR 227 heads instead of the procomp heads from before, also put on some big tires in the rear, going from a 29/11/15 to a 31.5/13.5/15. Added about 100lbs in weight since last season where we ran a 10.00, car now weighs 2700 with me in it and full of fuel. Motor is making a little more power then the 383, not exactly sure how much tho

Bout time! Took you just over 4 years haha j/k. Much faster than I have ever gone. Nice work man!

 

[mr2cam]

Ya we raced the car for quite a few years the way it was running bottom 10's, last year we ran a 10.002 with the stock block 383, so close yet just never happened. Great little bracket car though, won a championship for me!
