This is my street car, but took it to the track this weekend.  Ran 11.89 at 114 in full street trim, except for the hub caps.

The car has only been to the track twice.  I went to our club race day to prove to myself and my buddies that the car was not just a show pooch.  It went 12.03 at 112 the the first time out.  I went back for the last race of the year and got the 11.89 after some tuning.  General consenus is that if I pull the exhaust and run slicks with lighter wheels, the car should run 11.5s.  The track will want a bar and I don't intend to install a bar in my street car.  I am happy with the car and I have accomplished my goal.

Cool pics vinb. Still racing? What are you running now. Something about vintage drag cars, doesn't get much better.

Thanks,

I sold all my stuff in 2001 after 25 plus years of class racing, then drove my friends B/SA Cobra-Jet Mustang until 2003.

Now I just mess around with my street 'Cuda and race it a few times a year at the Muscle Car races (which I'm going to this Sat.) and have some fun..

What I'm running atm.
69 notch with 440 sixpack abt 400hp gone best 1/4 of 12.05@110 and best 1/8 of 7.6@88







and since there's a few historical shots here's a few from my past.
I've been racing since 1978

From 1983 went best of 14.0@101





And from abt 1991 went best of 10.7@121

Burnouts are cool but Traction is the Action

Vinb and Nqkjw nice old racer rides  :2thumbs: I used to bracket race a 68 Coronet but had some financial issues and the car sat on the trailer up untill i ended up tradeing it for a Dart Sport  :banghead: Hopefully next year i'm planning on racing my Dart some next year. Mainly for fun as i really still can't afford to turn it into a full race car. I would post a couple of pics if i knew how  :bigsmile:
