LMAO, I asked what you raced when you were 12 and if you were in the junior dragster circuit, more than a fair question.

124 with your mods...

OK, I see what you're talking about. Trap speed is much higher than would be assciated w/ a car running those times in a car weighing 3,875#'s.

If you have all that then you must be able to buy a video camera and post a video at the track. Hell I do it all the time.

You'll find that you will be challenged on just about every claim in this "street racing" section. Don't sweat it. You obviously have an impressive car & I am very interested to see the numbers. Reading between the lines, the question that has been asked is "can you confirm the trap speed"?

So, the best way to combat the negative suggetions from other board members is to prove the trap speed. Do that & the ney sayers become the problem, OK?

Sounds good! My point wasn't that you didn't ever trap 124 (well it kinda was), but more or less that you have more mods than listed, or have removed a decent amount of weight.

And I'll stick to "installing light fixtures", LMAO!!
