Thanks for the warm welcome, 409 racers! You guys have some awesome machines - I look forward to next year!

Hi, I think this car does mid 13s. I have street tires on it now and have a separate set of Mickey Thompson drag radials I could put on if that's allowed. There is a radiator overflow. Thanks!

Hi Guys, do you need any special safety equipment for this run? My car has lap belts only. I can get a helmet!

VIN says car was originally assembled in Atlanta.

Here are some of those stickers of yore that are on the car.

Hi PSmith, there are not any Sanford stickers on the car, but will take pics of the ones there and will post here tomorrow when I'm back with the car. Member BSL409 added me to the LV event and noted there is room - here is the thread...

A few pics that are not on the bat thread

Hi Guys, I was referred here from the newbie thread. Would love to join with my 409 Bel Air in Sept if there is still room! Thanks, Mike

The car has some stickers from shows in Nova Scotia / PEI from late 80s and early 90s. Would be interesting to see if anyone has history on the car. The seller did the current build on it, but clear it was a drag car before - no rust and has the drag car shut off switch for electric fuel pump...

Hey guys, here is a good write up with pics - I saw the car on BaT and was a bit of an impulse buy! Maybe some of you saw this. http://bringatrailer.com/2017/05/28/street-strip-1961-chevrolet-bel-air-4094-speed/#comments

Hi Guys, I recently purchased a 61 Bel Air with a Jack Gibbs 409. The knowledgable fellow who sold me the car recommended this forum, so here I am! I'm based in NY - any of you guys go to the events in Lebanon Valley, NY? Wouldn't mind making a couple of runs with the new car.
