I finally got an OK time out of my 3300# sled. Carlsbad was hooking "OK" today, with temps in the mid 80s.

10.645@127.95 1.56 60'. Unlocked converter, full interior, full exhaust, etc. I'll be hitting Pomona next week (hopefully) which will be my last chance to get a 10.4x out of the combo. The 396 is coming out soon and I'm switching over to a forged 346 heads/cam/direct port combo. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

10.64 isn't all that great, but at least I'm quicker than Nine Ball's old clunker.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

boy look at all the people coming to give you congrats! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

i guess i will be one of the first. 3300 lbs full interior car, how some of us wish. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

Nice run man! What converter did you have in there?

Congrats Terry.. not bad, not bad at all <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

 

***yawn***

 

Congrats, that's gettin' with the program. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

 

I have Tony's clunker now and with full interior and me in it (I'm 140 lbs it weighs 3710 lbs) and it still ran 10.6x <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> on slicks and skinnies. If he dropped 300+ lbs he'd have surely busted that time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Anyway, good run Terry. Your car is damn fast.

 

Congrats!

 

Congrats on the new times Terry, those runs are impressive for C-Bad, to bad we probably won't get to line up with out big bore's, it would have been nice <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> . You should really take off the exhaust/interior and go ***** out for Pomona, low 10's wouldn't be that hard if the weather is decent

I highly doubt your car is running anything close to 10s or you'd have a time slip to prove it. It only takes one pass if your car is what you claim.

terry you should know that car was a talk piece, it was pushed to be completed now it will sit and rot away in a garage, it will never hit a track, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Hey Terry, my car should be at Pomona. I'm getting the tranny rebuilt (staying with the t56 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ) so I may not have the cash to get a rollbar welded in before then. When is the Thunder Shootout, I'd like to go. I don't know what Tim's running but I'll definitely put some $$$ on Terry's car.
