Re: 0-60 clips / Acceleration videos thread
Several years ago New Smyrna Speedway hosted a Sun. afternoon event they called an old style drag race. It's a paved 1/2mi. banked oval. They used the pit lane for the drag strip. No timing device and pretty girl dropping her arms for the starter. $5 entry fee & burn all the tire you want. Probably had straight 400' to 500' to the banked first turn. LOTS of cars/trucks/motorcycles. Run your buddy or whoever you came up against. Big fun compared to looking at cars at a car show. They only did it twice. Only casualty I know of was a Cobra kit car that hit the pit wall pretty hard with the front.
Wish I had video. It was hard to make the Blazer go with a 3.08 open rear, TKO500 with a 3.27 low gear & a mild 454. Only had to wait in line about 10 minutes to run again....& again...
