C3 in the Hot Rod/Comp Cams Pump Gas Drags
I went out to the Hot Rod/Comp Cams Pump Gas Drags today in Memphis and there was one C3 in it.I've got some movie footage I don't know how to put on,I guess someone would have to host it.I didnt get a chance to talk to the owner,but he was in the ten fastest street cars in the nation with a 9.13 average of 3 passes,after driving there about 25 miles.If anyone can host the movies,let me know.

If I am not mistaken, that car was in the running last year and actually made the fastest pass, but broke, so he was disqualified. Anyway, there was a vette in it last year. Cool pics. I bet that was a blast to see. Thanks for posting the pics for us to ogle.

When I saw the first picture, I was sure it was the same guy - fastest of all last year but his MSD ignition was put too close to the exhaust and caused its overtemp cutout to activate - which technically disqualified him. That is one fast car!!! He also runs a stock type IRS that's really been beefed up.

9 second cars are scary to ride in the first time. i remeber in my uncles chevelle (600 cubic inches) we went for a ride and i didnt hook very good and it was scary.his only runs 10 right now becuase he hasnt tuned it.it should rune in the hihg nines after he tunes it. then hes gonna hit it with nitruos.

Great to see he made it back in again. Sounds like he ran identical to last year almost (9.17's). I had heard he had done some 8.80's and Toms differentials were helping him hoping for mid 8's. They had redone trailing arms with aluminum bushings...poly's were dying.
Did the black C-2 make it back this year?
Who won? What were fastest times? How deep in the 8's did they make it?

Here's some results from the Hot Rod site.....
1. 34 Ford.........9.00....8.72....8.82
2. 70 TA...........9.19....8.87....8.79
3. Viper............9.01....9.28....8.62
4. 80 Malibu......8.91....9.01....9.06
5. 66 Chevelle...8.99....8.98....9.13 (Schmidt-Last years winner)
6. 95 Mustang....average...9.15
7. Turbo'd Rambler.8.75....9.00....9.98
8. Mustang '96.... 9.22....9.40....9.46
9. Firebird-blue . .9.31....9.22....9.37
10 S10-GMC ...... 9.28....9.31....9.35
some other results:
Turbo'd Nova wagon....9.24....10.24...9.34 @ 145
Blown VW bug............head gasket blew
White Vette 69...........9.52....9.19.....9.21 @ 148
70 Nova ..................10.05....9.92.....9.58 @ 150-155
67 Black Mustang........9.19....9.16.....10.07 mph...149
Buick Regal..NOS.........9.30....13.79....9.52 @ 149-150
68 Camaro red...........11.23....9.30.....9.25 @ 148
this car spun at the 330..ending up in opp lane and then back in his lane
70 Nova ....................9.49...9.46 @ 140
71 Camaro..blue...........9.35...9.98....10 .35 @ 124-135
86 Turbo'd Mustang GT.9.35...9.72... .9.57 @ 144-151
96 black Mustang w/SBC/NOS...8.99....9.50
(did not see second pass)
Fastest Et and Mph.....Viper.....8.62 @ 166
There was only one naturally aspirated car there..a 555" '69 Camaro who ran a 9.37!! But he vapor locked just outside the gates on the cruise part and got DQ'fied. Bummer!
I'd like to see more about that car...I assume it's a Big Chief headed type motor..that takes LOTS of HP to pull off!
One of the black Hemi Chargers from last year spit out a driveshaft on the first pass.
As you can see....it's pretty tough to lay down three consecutive passes with HP at this level. Some folks had monster slicks, but others were smaller. Obviously big tire guys have an advantage.
