I just got back from the nostalgia drag races at St. Thomas Dragway here in Ontario Canada. It was a really good event with more than 300 cars entered in the racing.
On Saturday I entered into the Nostalgia Super Stock class with with a 12.50 dial in and lost in the second round with a 12.56 and a .520 light.
(.500 is a perfect light) On Sunday There was only time for two time trials and I ran high twelves so I dialed in at 12.85 I knew I wouldn't be consistant enough to have any real chance with over 40 cars in my bracket so I was just going for broke when the light turned green. I was lined up beside a Mopar with a 440 and by the time I hit third gear I could tell I was going to run well under my dial in. I should have coasted but I kept going and broke out by almost a half of a second.:eek: But I was the happiest looser there because I got my best time ever...12.417 @ 111.71
So all things considered it was a great weekend!
Here's a photo of my racy looking cold air intake. The base is made out of an aluminum roasting pan.
and I also put cutouts on my exhaust.
