Nice MPH by Ken. Is this the same car Ken has been working on for ever? Got the power! He just needs to make it stick! Like so many other people that elusive 60 foot time is some where out there. NICE Pics.

I was first off once the rain stopped, I am guessing after two Vettes tipped in at 4000 pounds they might have figured our the scales were waterlogged.........

Well, I guess it is time to pipe in. I have been lurking for quite a while but since this thread has touched base on my car, its time to speak up. The car ran a best et of 12.59 against Benoit Holloway in his gorgeous LS6 Chevelle. My best MPH was 112.88. The last time the car was on the scales it weighed 3605 lbs. with driver. 60' times are usually about 2.0 seconds where my ets typically land in the 12.6-12.7 range. The 12.59 run saw a 1.97 60'. Attempting to drop my short times is my next plan of attack.

Ken, no wonder you wanted to run me, you were gonna chop my head off. I liked you better with your 14 sec. Pontiac. Seriously though, that's some respectable performance from that thing, congratulations.

Thanks Rob.

I was just fun'n with ya Steve. Your car did very well for the first time at the pure stocks. I have a hunch that it was wrenched on right up until it was driven to the starting line.
My car started out running 13.2's and 3's when I first started running it. The basic engine has not changed one bit since then but there has been lots of tuning and some gearing changes in between.
