Thanks bud !! :tu: I am NHRA legal & Licensed, plus IHRA & AHRA legal !! Mostly 1/8th mile ran 5.51 @ 127 MPH, but we do 1/4 when avail 8.80 @ 151 MPH last time out, we have added some HP... Looking to reset all those numbers soon :cool:

We mostly match-race, and run exhibition... But, we can also run Top Dragster, Super Comp, Fast Brackets, and if we get bored, we have entered into Quick 16 !! Last time in Q-16 we runnered up, with the handicap start, it looked like they were 20 feet from finishline when my side of the tree came down !! I remember telling myself "I'll never catch him, hey I'm catching him, hey I blew past him w/ more than a 50 MPH head of steam" !! LOL

Good story. My older brother and I were drag racing in the late 60s. Started out in door slammers. A 69Z28 we called Goofy Grape was his purple car and was the last one before we went to a econo rail front motor car. He eventually went on to top fuel with his friend. I crewed with them but got tired of the long nights and long distances. That’s when I built a Kelmark GT with 140 Corvair power.

Thanks for the compliments and interest in our car guys !! I have started a thread in the 'Corvair Video and Photo Threads' section, so as not to clog up the Introductions page :cool:
