How did you get rid of 200 lbs. No driver maybe. Remote control drag racing.

Oh sorry, I thought you ment quarter mile. Mines certified for 6.50's in the quarter. It only runs 8.0's to high 7.90's. Here's a pic of my 499 cube. It goes in my 72 cuda. I always like your body style better for racing. I once had a 69 fast back race car. Sold it to fund the 72
