Good video. He needs a straighter launch. If he could hook it up that would really get some good times.

That motor and another one from Alaska (AKRAY4PLAY ) were the inspirations behind mine. He sold that car because they wouldn't let him race it any more at the local tracks.

Looks like his Posi was going. I always wanted to see that car in action. Saved to Disk.

Yea,
ChickenBone built the motor and it was closer to
700h.p. with a small kit. Those runs were with
4:10's, 26" tall tire and a very solid 9" converter.
The 135 mph is killer. I'm sure with ET Streets and other stuff it would have been a 9
second ride.
