Any drag racers here?
Anybody else here drag race? I'm headed to the dragstrip tommorow to click off a new best. I mounted my drag wheels/tires earlier in the week in preperation. Car is 11.9X capable. My previous best was 12.86 @ 106 mph. That was at full weight and just boltons. Car now has extensive weight reduction and heads and cams.....its an all motor car. Going to be a fun Friday night !

12.8's not bad although the trap speeds a little low, you must be hooking up pretty well even without the drags. What kinda 60ft are you pulling? Good luck with you next run heads and cam on your motor sounds sweet!

I used to street race a lot back in Detroit in the early 90's w/ my 78' Caprice Classic 2 door (take it to the track I say now) Sold the car to my then boss where he put it on the trailer and went to the drag strip with it, he allowed me to make a pass where I put down a 12.38 @106 mph, forgot the 60 ft time but that was a lot of fun as the car actually hooked compared to the street! The engine was a s/b 406, hydrolic cam (507/531-239/246@.050), Perf RPM, 780 Hollley, 1 5/8" headers w/ 2 1/4" exhaust, Dart iron heads w/2.05/1.60 SS valves, stamped steel rockers and about 10:5:1 compression. The trans was a TH350 w/ Dynamic brand 4000 stall w/4.88 gears inside the stock 8.5" rearend. NO NOS AND AND ALL STEEL, AT THE TIME!
The OP's trap speed could be a little higher but its all about getting there first, right!

True, but usually trap speeds a good indicator of who's gonna win in a street race, not that I do that kinda thing anymore!

There's one more here. My grandfather, uncle, and my father all started at 16, my mother and grandmother married into it. I have been at a track every week March thru December since I was concieved. I started racing when I was 7. Currently I have a 69 Camaro with a 421 small block (best of 9.17 @147) and a Miller dragster with a 572 (best of 7.74 @ 178, it needed a bigger converter)
