Hi guys,

Picked up my new ride on 3/29/13

First outing was 4/5 at atco. Track prep was crappy but still managed a 10.15 on a 1.5x 60'

4/6/13. Street Car Shoot Out at Cecil County Dragway is a monthly series.

I entered Pro Dial and the 10.0 index.

In qualifying, I ran a 10.097@137 on another 1.5x 60'.

I softened up the rear shocks 2 clicks and headed into eliminations.

First up was pro dial. I wrote 10.00 on the windshield, and ran it out.
Thinking there was no way I was going to run the number, I ran it out the back door... Lost on a double break out and the other car crossed first.

9.959@136.52????? How did that happen?

Next up was the 10.0 index. I bumped in twice to kill ET and off we went.

I had a car length on my opponent by the 1000' so I lifted thinking he might have broken something, and I surely didn't want to break out again... Damn, his win light came on.

9.913@130.09...

So, new best for me and the car, but I'd gladly give it back for a win light...

 

Damn, what is the detail on the new ride ?

 

99 C5 coupe. N/A LS7. 427ci. WCCH LSX heads. 4500 FTI converter. 4L60E trans. 3.73 rear.

3150 with me in it.

 

Best of luck with it Pete!

 

Gotta love that

 

Damn ... 109 mph in the 1/8!

 

Congrats Pete....and feel free to post some pics.

.

 

Hope you don't mind if I start but, I've always liked this one



Had me by a 'fender' ...

 

His two best passes...well quickest lol

 

Def needs some pics.
Sounds like a great car

 

Nice, glad to see that this somewhat 'historical' car went to a good home and is back out there competing again.

 

Congrats on new ride and PB Pete.

 

Wow. Car ran better than when Edgar had it. Good luck this year.

 

Need full details on car how it sits as of now. Not before previous owner. Of exact the same... All is good.

 

He dont think he has "full" details on the car yet ..

 

First race with the car, you done good! From the looks of that time slip, the other guy either had serious issues, or he was messing with you. Hard to tell, he had you by a bunch on the tree.

9.70's in the car with 137mph......I bet!

Are you going to leave all the lettering on the car?

Thanks for the updates btw.

Ron

 

10.09 run

only 2 pics I took of Pete's car

 

Thats a gotdam RACEKAH!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on the new whip PETEY BOY

 

Outstanding! That car gets it; very impressive!!!

What are the suspension mods to make it hook so good?

 

I have single adjustable QA1 shocks front and rear.

However, there are plenty of bone stock suspension cars with 1.3x/1.4x 60' times.
