Here is video someone took this past weekend at a Grudge Race. This was off the trailer and was able to pick up the time after some tuning. Car still has plenty in it...but it sure surprised a bunch! I was told people that knew the car made some money! lol

That sounds like quite an impressive goal, what does car weigh with driver on board.

Which rods? Fishing rods, 4 link rods, connecting rods? Yes since I put new pistons in this year all was inspected. I have L19 rod bolts for extra strength

Looks great! I like especially like the top photo where you're melting the tires. You got a roll bar yet?
When you get one, let me know and I'll bring my helmet. My life insurance policy is paid up and I wanna go for a ride. :)

No roll bar and 6 second 1/8 defiantly not running an NHRA track.

Shoot, Deby has probably been in much faster cars than I have.
I'm joking about roll bar...but not about the helmet. Lol..
That car was fast when I drove it with the little 327...can't even imagine how hard it pulls now.
