I think Cliff with the burgundy Dart was quickest with a 9.4>142...drive off the line job and then nail it???

Cheers Les, & yes on the motor, but admittedly is a right mother of a motor, but is a real heavy weight car

Dont think there was much else heavier running sub 12's ???

Yes ha !
Bad timing waited for nearly 3 hours including their lunch did one run then 2 hours for crash and comps so in all that day calculated 6 hours waiting but still had fun
Had a laugh Sunday first up the track so stuck the car up with the police light on much to amusement of the on lookers !
I had fun x

Ade, shame we didn't meet up. Parts are in the country waiting customs clearance.
Jim, great 60 foot times again, just need a few more horses for that 11.
MilesnMiles, 65Belvedere, LONGSHOT, mikejones, well done on the new PB's.
Dave, this is a muscle car forum.

Andy, put the front bumper back on.
GTXJim, nice to meet you Saturday night, keep an eye on that oil pressure gauge.
Starsk's, that 12 second run will happen, keep trying. Meant to come over and say hello but you kept driving off in the Torino.

Pinto looked great, Dunc. Didn't realise just how small those cars are. Thought the dedication was a really nice touch, too.

Dissapointing times in the Coronet.

Not home to Mr. traction, even with 12.5" x 29" M/T sportsman tyres.

Best time was 12.4 secs.

Best terminal was 117mph, but it ran a 13.1 and that was launching in 2nd to try and stop the wheelspin (which it didn't). Smoked the tyres for the first 20 yards....by rights with that terminal it should be running about 11.4 secs quarters.

Won't bother again with track time, but it certainly produces some horsepower...........

Ported Indy EZ's
best run so far, should go 9.3s if I can get it to 60ft better
1.41 best should be at least in the 1.30's

Brian J · Post by **Brian J** » Mon Jul 30, 12 11:17 pm

9.5 @ 139
