I took the Blue Bomber to Byron Dragway with some friends last Sunday for the first time in two years. In that two years, I have installed the Hurst Ram Rod shifter, line lock and rebuilt the front suspension. This was just a Test & Tune day so I was just running the car for fun. It's amazing how I forgot how to do the basic things at the track since the last time I was there. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]

I bought a pair of used Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro rear tires as my ET Street tires were all used up.......they didn't work as well as the ET Street tires but still a pretty good tire once I got them heated up.

My first two passes......I spun the tires in first gear. My 3rd (last) pass the car hooked pretty good but I had a passenger......my wife Karen, who was a little reluctant to go at first but she is a real trooper.

Below are a couple pictures of the day and my time slips. My 60' times were horrible but that was due to the tires and I need more seat time at the track, other than that, I can't complain about the consistency. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

On a side note....my best time ever was in Joliet at the SCR reunion a few years ago which was 12.15@115.

Looks like a super fun day!!!

Must be one of a very few tracks that allow passengers?

Good to see you doing things the way the car was built.
Fun!

Wish you were closer, I would have loaned you my ET Streets! Nice runs, pretty consistent!

I love seeing how much progress you have made and how much you enjoy the car. That's what made my Passion for Muscle cars grow to what it is today. You have a great car.
