I ran 2 times while my grandpa left to go pick something up from his friends house that's like 20 min away from the track. I just had to wipe down all the numbers before he got back to the track.

I did two runs, 14.3 @ 100 was my best with a 2.1 60 foot. Weighted the car in. It was 3350 with me in it, and im just about 200lbs. + all the crap (tool boxes and stuff) in the trunk.

My other run was a 14.5 @ 99 with a 2.3 60 foot

Car has a lot more in it, I know I could do a lot better on the launches, but I couldn't lower the tire pressure because I had no idea when he was going to be back, had like 40psi in the tires (BF Goodrich g-Force Sports 245/50/16)

There was a few other nice fox bodies out there also. Anyone from here?

Good times for street tires and a basically stock fox! Why won't Your Grandpa let You race at the strip?

I heard that car had a 331 stroker on another forum, 14.5 isn't that impressive with a 331.
