Won a giant trophy Sunday
Sunday at Island Dragway (timeslip has the wrong date). Nostalgia drags for cars over 30 years old. 19 cars in the 1st round. Managed to win my bracket, N3 - 12.00 to 13.99. Got a major trophy. Time slip of my quickest run is attached (right lane).

Thanks guys. My wife wonders why I go through the hassle of racing the car 9 or 10 times a year. I tell her its all about the potential bragging rights. She doesn't get it.
The drag radials in the pic are 275/60/15 on the 8 inch wheels. Although BF Goodrich recommends 8 to 10 inch wheel widths, I think the 9 inch width would be better.
Its a good thing I didn't have a passenger because they wouldn't fit with the trophy. And I wasn't leaving the trophy.

Yes 8" is good. I did 9" because I increased the flare 1" and the wheel/ tire combo is a nice fit on 9" don't know if I would do it again.
