New best for the ol girl...
 
ADRA rac #6 last weekend,, the ol 66 did well enough to pay for the weekend going out in the semi's on a double breakout.

New best,, 10.90 @ 119, on Hoosier DOT stickey's, through the mufflers, in street trim at 3650 pounds.

Ran the truck across Speedworlds scales and found I was all screwed up on the weight,, the 3380 I had stuck in my head.... is WITHOUT me in the seat.. Add all this good cookin my wifes been doing.... and total in race trim with me in the seat and 11 gallons of C-12 fuel.... 3650 pound.

Not bad for a little ol normally aspirated small block with a set of box stock old school AFR 220 heads eh!

(Bring it on Steve,, I'm ready for ya!!! http://www.small-block-chevy.com/ima...tsaboutime.gif )

Nice ET's for sure. The track has been letting you get away with some good ET recently. Good too see what she is able to do. And good job on the racing.

Looks like I will finally be lighter than you :) Oh wait, I guess I technically was the last time out :pty: Now if I can get my truck running right, hope to run right there with you.

This really ain't fair, but is the only video in captivity. I was paired with a buddy who had borrowed my GoPro,, It was just time trials and when he matted the throttle and his little 406 shoebox Nova went dead silent. So you get to see the ol truck just drve away while he restarts, and makes his pass.

BUT, that didn't keep me from adding some captions and sound effects LOL
(he didn't think it was nearly as funny as I did)

Shaun, even funnier... John is a aeronautics engineering team leader at a plant in Phx. He asked if I had any of the video downloaded he wanted to play it on the big overhead projector at lunch for his team.... and I told him "Oh I just one up on Youtube",

LMAO, he REAlly wasn't very happy with me for a while.

Marv congrats on your new best. I finally saw your episode on Pinks all out. Your truck was awesome. That must have felt like you have won the lottery. Congrats on both of them.
