Here's a video from one of my passes Friday night.

The track crew accidentally installed a red bulb in the green bulb socket. :rolleyes: :D

Enjoy.

john how fast did you go friday?

Very Nice And Fast Car John!!!!!!!!! Are You Still Working On Your 60' Times? If So What Are You Doing To Improve Them?

Smoked Um.................................nice!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys.

Jason, the best pass was off the trailer. 10.22@131.2 with a mild (4mph) tail wind. I spent the rest of the night chasing my tail with shock settings, jetting, timing, etc........ Finally ended up running another 10.22@130+ without the tail wind.

Laughing Rat- Yes,I'm still working on my suspension settings. I don't run on race day (strictly fun for me), only Friday & Sunday night T&T. The video pass was 10.27 w/1.445 60'. The previous track trip the car ran a 1.400 60' (after they drug the track a 1/2 doz cars before my pass) and a few 1.41-42's. During the 1.40 pass the front of the car stayed up much longer/further and came down more gently. Last Friday it was just falling down real hard. I've got new bias slicks to try next trip (same tire I used to run) along with the radials I'm running now.

68malss468- Yeah, but thats not my typical burnout. I forgot to toggle the fuel pump and the motor died while doing the 1st part of that burnout. I'm afraid self aggravation got the better of me once I fired it back up.

john, when are you going back to do the back to back testing on the tires?

Possibly Sunday if the weather holds.

Nice run, gorgeous car.

Great video John!

Most impressive! But funny how there was only ONE red light at the bottom of that tree? Hummmmm?

Yes...very nice looking car.

That`s one bad small block!!

What rpm do you shift at ?.. What rpm are you going over at? Tire and gear ? Sorry for so many questions... I`m nosey I guess.

:thumbsup:

John if you don't mind me asking what are some of your engine specs?

Thanks!

71-454- Exactly! What's that all about??? I've got to have a talk with the track crew!!!!! Heck, I just picked the wrong lane near as I can tell. :clonk:

Steve, my shift light is set at 5900 for the 1-2. By the time I react to the light and the tranny makes the shift, I'd guess the motor is up around 6800. I don't have a playback tach so I can't say for sure. The 2-3 shift is 7000. On a good pass its crossing ~7350. In the video I'm running 4.56's and MT ET Radials 315/60's. Not being nosey at all, that's what these forums are for.

In the video I'm running ... MT ET Radials 315/60's. On 15x10's, yes? What backspacing did you use and what mods to get them to fit? Did you relocate the lower shock mounts? Thanks.
Oh BTW, nice ride man! :thumbsup:

Thanks! Yup, 15x10's w/6.5" bs. The frame is shaved (mini-tubbed). Without the mini I'm basically stuck with a 28x10 or 29x10(never tried the 29x10) on 8" wheel. The most section width I could ever comfortably get in there was ~11.5". The rear is a Moser 12bolt correct for '67 and the mounts are as they came from Moser.

Nice John...very nice!! :thumbsup:

Sweet! Thanks John.

Nice John...very nice!! :thumbsup:

Thanks Bill!

Very Nice! Sounds real good too.
