A few more of the building process..

[chevelle]

Mine doesnt even compare to these other cars but i have alot of fun bracket racing on the weekends. Its a 67 chevelle -355, Brodix heads, powerglide, best run so far was a 10.90 @ 123 mph. Ive been racin for 6 years and i have 5 points championships. I also have a 66 chevelle that runs 12.80s and my dad has a 66 chevelle (that he drove to high school) that now runs 10.50s. so other than messin with these trucks i stay pretty busy.

This is a cool thread. I've been around drag racing sice I was litte, when my dad wasn't racing his alchol funny cay he was scootin' around town in his built 69 Chevelle. They finally got out of it about 10 years or so ago, now my brother and I took the reins, were building a "true" Fuel Alterd and some nostalgia funny car races.
The car should definitly haul the mail with about 3500 hp ,90% nitro and setting the 1271 blower at about 20%.

I remember seeing Al Hoffman come to the track with a beat up car hauler and a badass nitro funny car on the back, the entire operation was he and his wife...... May he RIP
For those that don't know he passed away of a heart attack today!

Al Hoffman died? No way.

Here are pics of my friends Camaro.. He just won Hot Rod Drag week. Drove the car 1000 miles in 5 days pulling a trailer to 5 different tracks. He averaged a 7.64 at over 180 and got around 5 to 6 mph on the highway.

What the heck is that? a Lemans or something? Whatever it is -- it looks bizarre (in a cool way) watching that thing do a wheels up launch like that

Sorry for the non- GM entry here, but this is the blue oval that I use to run until 1996. It's best time 10.20 @132 mph.Not bad for 351W back in its day.

That front end dragster is badass, lol...actually everything in there is badass!! I love a blown big block, even though the only one I have is in a project that's not done.....yet, close, but not yet. It's a 29 Ford truck, chopped, channeled & sectioned...the cool part is, it has a square port, 4 bolt 454 with a 671 blower, built powerglide and narrowed ford 9"..... I won't bore you with the details or highjack the thread....lol

Sleepers you say... We like sleepers in Pittsburgh... This is my buddys Pontiac Temptest.. As you see under the hood she looks pretty stock.. As you see in front of the rear end she has twin hair dryers... Lol.. Runs high 9's.. It was just in Hot Rod Mag a few months back.

[c10addict]

Here is another sleeper a Buddy of mine owns... THe old lincoln looks stock on the outside but runs High 9's low 10's all day long and gets driven everyday... A/C still blows ice cold! The only problem is he's been thrown out of every race track around for no cage.. Can't get the car seats in with a cage..

[Liz]

moved over to the racing section. I know it is not trucks but we all agreed to allow cars in there too

[redhead69]

c10addict that tempest is sick!! I read the article.. very sneaky!!
