Default New best!
11.523 @ 115.74 mph. 60'=1.542! I hope this stock rear end will take this kind of punishment.

This little baby Comp 218/218 cam is working pretty good with my home ported heads!

Way to go Larry. That old flyweight car just gets faster & faster. Wait till we get some good air. You will be flying.

Leo,

My previous best was an 11.62 @ 115.30 but in 50 degree weather last winter. It was 80's last night and humidity was higher and barometer lower. I should see quite an improvement in cool weather.

Les,

Haven't seen you in ages. How have you been doing? Been out to the track lately?

Larry, I haven't run my car at the track since March 30th after I got a new converter. Ran 12.03 with only a 1.77 60'. With better weather and a little better launch I should be in the high 11's. Maybe they will kick me out lol.
