Ran 11.44 @117.69mph

Ran a 11.44 @ 117.69mph last night at the street legal drags, allmost got kicked off for no roll bar, but they ended up letting me run if I slowed it down.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph

Now to figure out a hidden roll bar.I read a mag article about a guy who went and ran all evening long at low 12's then on his last pass blew it out and ran like an 11.65.
BTW great run! What was your 60'?

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph

60' was 1.68, at the street legals they don't prep the track any, we waited 1.5hrs. to dry the track after a thunder storm went through just before we started.

My truck is 4-linked, I run 14.5x29 Hoosier QT Pros, My battery box is in the back, and a 20 gal fuel cell that I keep full.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph

I don't even have a roll bar, so 11.50 is as fast as I can run, I'll be running in the 10's as soon as it's in. I keep wanting to weigh it, but haven't got around to it yet. Hope to do it this week, you have any pics of where your cage ties into your frame?

what kind of hp you laying down, im building a version of yours only im running a 9.5.1 com 496 roller motor. it should lay down 650 hp and have good steet manners. i don't like just going fast at the track i can't stand to get beet so i wanna have the stuff when ever i need it track or town, its no fun having a bad a$$ truck if you can't show it off every day.. don't get me wrong i love drag cars but im amazed at these 8 sec rockets putting around just wating to bust your you know what when you pass them on the way to wal-mart . a 200 shot should keep things even if i wan't to play a little at the track.. im thinking about a roll bar too but it shure would look ugly and give away the sleeper feel too.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph

Who sanctions your local track ? We're AHRA here in Spokane . I don't think there's many ahra tracks left . My mostly stock 68 runs 14.40's , it went almost 3 / 10th's quicker with the tailgate off . It needs to go on a diet as it weighs nearly 4000 lb. Oh well , any racing is good racing .

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph

That's an awesome 60' for a truck.Maybe you need to smooth your tailgate with lead to get alittle more traction.The 4 link must be working well.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph

I can't remember , do you run a tonneau cover ? Or no cover no tailgate ?
Somewhere i had pics of a '72 running at Seattle with an awesome rollbar setup . He had a Lexan rear window with cutouts for the bar. Very clean set up . Anyway nice pass .

Ya I run a cover, my rollbar is going to come out my back window, I have a slider and the guy that's doing it is going to bring it out the corners. He just did one, and cuts the holes, feeds the bar through then welds it up. I'll have it run through my cover also.

It was one of my better ones, every points race this year at the drag strip I run at has been rained out. So I haven't run this motor combo on a traction compound prepped track yet. I know that it folds my passenger side floormat in half, and I had to rig my ashtray so it doesn't open.

409biscayne...'67, 11 second quarter @ about 120 mph and was told not to come back until he had a roll cage. 350 4-bolt on gas. Neat truck but the body panels did not fit...now I know why...too many wheel stands...LOL! This truck has been for sale ever since I can remember!

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph

planning on custom dash. do you guys think i will have any problems with racing with a cluster set up like this. is the tach to low, i know most guys run theres on the top of the dash but would like to keep it clean. i probably will run the shift light up on the roll cage. if you guys have any suggestions let me know...
