when the new 632 big cheif goes in next month i hope to greatly improve these times. sad thing is for as quick as they are they're still not competitive for the way 10.5 racing has taken off.
sorry for the picture phone pics.

Insane isn't it? A friend runs 7.0's @ 208-212mph fairly consistentatly and
it's not good enough to win every race. Drag radial is insane these days too.

7.80's and 1.22 60's is slow. My NHRA advanced et license passes were quicker. Get a real backhalf and drop the *** end of that 68 camaro and junk that 632 Big Chief. No one runs that combo anymore. Get a pair of turbos on a smallblock and go 200+. Oh, nice vid. Very close race.

Hey give us a break. We work with what we got. But someday we will be able to afford a 3k camera.

I was at the end (AcE CAM) and it took me maybe 30 seconds to get it completely focued on the two cars. At the end you can tell who won, so thats all that matters. It would of been easier to have a tripod. I was getting tired of holding the camera for like 10 minutes. I would like a badass camera though hehe.

thats pretty funny considering your car looked like a fiberglass tubechassis car if it's even your car anyone can find pics and videos to post where as i can prove mine because people on here know me and i've posted **** with proof i can go get timeslips or pics and put stuff on them or whatever you'd like. #2 it's funny you mentioned the backhalf the pic in my sig and the timeslips are from when i had a conventional head 555 in the car and it was a stockwheelwell untubbed laddrbar coilover 12 bolt all steel roll up glass 3550lb raceweight on a 29.5x10.5 tagged titled streetcar. i agree the *** end has to come down thats why it is now 25.2 sfi backhalfed with a fab9 and a 4link on a 33x10.5 with the 632. still all steel with rollup windows and stockfloorpan back to the wheeltubs because it's still a streetcar. not a fullblown racercar.

I was thinking that 7's @ 200mph is commonplace and fairly unimpressive
for that car. Backhalf cars are running 204-212mph these
days on 10.5W's. Drag radial cars are running 7.40's @ 19xmph for God's
sake. That sure looks like a tube chassis car to me.

who gives a **** if his car is made of gold. The point is you said you are so fast and that 10 second cars are slow. We can bring you a REAL trailered car. Why don't you step up to the plate?

i never said i was fast in the world of 10.5 racing a 7.80 won't even qualify for a 32 car field. as far as running your real trailer car we're about 1200miles apart there bud. for a trailer car 10's are slow for a daily driver they're quick. and from the video they sure as hell don't look like 10 sec cars. it's all in your own definetion and perception there is know set rule of what everyone is supposed to think is fast it's all in an individuals opinion.
