Good 3,000 RPM launch photo My daugther took this photo on the last Thursday in May of my car leaving on a 3,000 RPM footbrake NA, no power adder launch at a special event that I was invited too.
The car ran a 1.471 60 ft time, 6.819 1/8 mile ET at 99.19 MPH and a 10.784 1/4 mile ET at 123.45 MPH. I then backed that run up with a 1.474 60 ft time , 6.819 1/8 mile ET at 99.18 MPH and a 10.789 1/4 mile ET at 123.22 MPH in 80degree temps at 2:00 PM in the afternoon with a track temp around 115 +/-.
I thought you all would like to see the photo. She is really getting pretty good at taking action photos.

Here is most of it!
Formula hardtop, 346 CI LS1, heads and cam with boltons, stalled auto, 4.10 gears at 3,440 lbs.
The car has been a lot of hard work and it has been fun. It started life with me in December 2002 at 91K miles totally stock not one performance part in it or on it at 3,665 lbs, after I installed the roll cage. I had been racing my other WS6 cars and decided I had better build one instead of abusing them. I raced the car for 5 years with the totally stock engine with LS1 intake and headers never took the valve covers off ran 8.30's NA with stock transmission and convertor with 3.23 gears, then in 2005 new 3.70 rear end ran 8.00's, then in 2006 new transmission with stall convertor ran 7.60's and 7.30's on a 75 hp dry shot.
2007 brought the pump gas engine change with mild cam, rear gear change to 4.10 due to RPM increase of new engine and more weight reduction results 6.77 ET- 101 MPH 1/8 mile best to date NA and 10.75 ET - 123.5 MPH 1/4 best to date NA. This on a footbrake stall of 3,000 RPM's best 60 foot to date is a 1.407.
So the journey started at 8.30's in 2003 and continues today at 6.70's!!! I have but not installed yet bigger fuel injectors, new intank fuel pump so I can use my NOS dry kit with the new enigne setup and LPE two step so I can start using the transbrake.
Here is a better photo of the car leaving the line not sure why it looks like it does!

Thank you!
I just wanted to show some photos that my Daughter took!
My car is just a little 346 CI with no power adder it does pretty good. If my car ever got that high I would be making major changes, because I know that type of launch is going to break parts for sure!!

awesome! i'd kill to have that car! (NBM hardtop WS6 formula)
very impressive for the lack of cubes or power adder.
it always amazes me when cars get down like that on a 26" tire.
