That might be fun if I get the cage in and can then double my boost and run it out. Yes, registration would be good. And you have to drive it there! DOT tires. A pro tree in the car is tough. How about a 5 tenths pro tree? I always thought that would be a fun one in the car. Deep staging allowed?

You would have to make sure that there aren't so many rules that you only get 5 cars in the class. Also, if they are DOT tires then you better let it go to 11.5, since most 17" drag radials and 17" ET Street bias ply's are 275's or 11.50's.

I remember watching this car race at Sear's Point in the 90s back when I was a regular there! Stock motored 13's on Mcrearys sound familiar? [Big Grin]

Yep, that was me! McCreary's on 10 holes. Those tires sucked! Glen with the green 67 428 4 spd Fastback told me to get those. They weren't much better than my street tires. I bought the car in 95 and have been racing it every since. It ran 14.51 @ 94mph the first night out bone stock. That was a long time and many mods ago!!

What ever happened to Glen? I really liked his green fastback but didn't see him out there after the 90's.

He moved to Idaho I believe. I am pretty sure that my dad said that he saw his name in National Dragster last year for being the track champion there.

Those tires aren't that bad. They are dirt track tires, but work ok on the street. I used to run them way back in the day, before there were 30+ dr's on the market. Used to be called American racers. They were the sleeper tires back in the 90"s. You didn't have choices, it was either a full slick or cheater slick. You could show up on McCreary's and all most know one had a clue. Today we are spoiled on the choices of tire brand and sizes. Nice look hot rod you got there.
