LS powered Mustang GT vs 6.0 drag car This was a race this last Sunday of a 1986 Mustang GT powered by a built LS/turbo 400 drag radial car versus one of the tracks regular 6.0 class guys.
Mustang is on drag radials and the 6.0 car is on full out slicks, built chassis and high horsepower engine.
The mustang pulled and held a 2-3 foot wheelie for almost the first 60 feet and went on to beat the race car by 0.14 seconds.
6.09 left lane to a 5.95 right. On motor only no less.....
Car is owned and built by Kisner Performance located in Paragould, AR.
Bear in mind the record that was broken was for THIS TRACK!!!
Not the world record or anything like that...

It is in the national registry for historic places in the USA.
Longest running single owner track in the world.
The concrete is original except for a couple patches.
It aint much, but its a welcoming family environment, folks here will bend over backwards to help you out when you need it,
and the closest thing we have had to a fight in the last 4 years is me and another guy at the track getting into an argument
at the starting line over him starting some **** on a different message board.

I like old stuff like that. It is like a throwback to the ole days when tracks first started to pop up around the US.
Hope they keep it going, man!

So far we have managed only one race this year due to constant rain-outs...
Tomorrow (4/18/14) is our first King of the Concrete race.
On the website under the schedule is what all it pays and for what classes.
We have some stuff to address in the morning regarding car count for advertised payout for each class... Other than that, we should be good to go so long as we can keep the trash talking to a minimum and watch the language because of children around.
I have watched some of the G-body races from Georgia and there is 45 minutes of cussing and trash talking for a 10 second race... I don't see why they cant just shut the hell up and race and get it over with.

not a t-bucket. he hand build a roadster and because it had a 55 or 57 olds engine, he licensed it as that.
His widow had it repainted last year and it really looks nice now. He died back in 2009.
The episode was on Horsepower TV a while back. I tried searching for it but can't find it.
Here is the page from the funeral home that the services were at.. You can see the car in it.

It is plenty safe... I have seen cars hit the fence at over 80 MPH and not hit anyone..
There are plenty of folks around to drag anyone's *** from a wreck, and to stop a fight if one breaks out, that I can promise you. Not to mention we believe in a family feel. I cant count the number of people I have helped out with something as simple as a jump start, or dragging a broken car back to the pits when it breaks either on the far end of the track, or during a pass.
I have helped with loading up wrecks, and cleaning up messes, just like almost everyone out there that races.
I think its best to not put someplace down until you have been there. It may not be brand new and capable of holding back a 200 MPH car (not too many tracks can actually), but they don't come there for exactly that reason. It is a single owner track for its entire existence, and will probably stay that way for a very long time. Unless someone decides to buy the track and remodels it.
I have gone to this track when I wanted to drag race since 1996, and about the only thing that has changed is the trees have gotten bigger, folks have gotten friendlier, and there are a few upgrades done recently like time slips, time displays at around the 1/3rd mark of the track, and a new timing tower was built winter before last, before the 2013 racing season.
Yeah, it could use a whole new slab of concrete all the way down, but no one has the $300 grand to replace it all. And that is a conservative estimate.
The video is not about the track anyways. It is about a street legal LS powered mustang beating a full-on race car. So enjoy.

I did not get video this time, but I did manage to get a picture of the NEW record holder for George Ray's Dragstrip in Paragould, AR...
Thanks to his fox mustang he ran the time on the timeslip below with a drag radial car. Congrats to him for winning the $400 fastest drag radial, although he did not actually win the race.

He is a member on here, but this is twinturbo2's mustang located here in Arkansas.
86hatch is in Michigan. It was a good race day but not worth that drive.
But his record got beat out at the King of the Concrete race on Saturday.
It is now a 5.823 @ 117.83 MPH..
The guy who set that record won $400 JUST for setting the drag radial record.
He did not win drag radial, but I think he got more or tied the drag radial winner in a different class.

Well, we had several big power cars trying to make it down the track.. Had a 1200+ hp turbo mustang who spent half the day turning his car down and he still could not get the power down.. Another one was a big block Camaro and the girl driving almost wiped out at least 4 different times in 3 races. Finished her last race in the other lane!!
