how many drag racers here, or fans?
 

just curious.
anyone else here hit their local track for 1/4 passes

sure, everyone here does, and every runs low 9's too... /queue the fucking wannabe's

I got a car i'm prepping for a build now. i have no idea what it'll do but i know what i want it to do.

next weekend i will be taking my 1st official 1/4 mile on the local drag strip.

want to lay down some baseline times before winter, so when spring comes and my upgrades are complete i can know how much i improved. :glugglug

Got my 6.00-7.49 license 2 weeks ago, but the season is over here so will wait till next year to try and crack 6.99

We have quite a few races up here..almost every weekend

what class?

I used to just screw around on test n tune nights with various hot rod beaters I had. Never very fast, often the laughing stock of the track.

NHRA Class 3 Comp Advanced ET-TC

i've done that many times too :1orglaugh even in rusty shitboxes with decent power. Took a big ol bomber, a 66 oldsmobile delta 88 4 door with a 455 did a best pass of 13.98 @ 112 :1orglaugh

next year, after i get the work done to my grand national [85 non intercooled, will be soon] ill see if i can get it to a track.

i see under your username your from NY.. check out englishtown if that's not too far.
Lebanon Valley Dragway is cool too.

I used to be into it bigtime in my younger days when I was a machinist. It's been over 10 years since I messed with anything serious though.

I had a badass Peterson valve guide and seat machine with an airfloat table. Also had a boring bar. I'd port out heads and put larger new valve seats for larger valves, machine for screw in studs and larger valve spring seats. I could do all that shit. Still can, it's sort of like riding a bike, you never really forget how once you learn it.

A lot different than this internet fucking shit.

drag racin' at it's finest . . .
