Both of you are panty wastes. My little 3950# 325 hp car regularly got 1.90's at Norwalk and low to mid 1.90's at Stanton up until last year. Now, well, it has a few issues. New one next year, stay tuned.
Umm, just makes one wonder how much those 60's would have fell if the track was good. That's a very enlightening list. Approx. 140 vehicles entered. 20 Sixty foot et's under 2.00. Of those 17 cars had automatics and 3 had manual transmissions. I was always under the impression that during the good ol' days the fast cars had manual trans. Hey BG, how's your combination working @ 60'?
Nobody raced on these tires at the drag strip back then. They'd put on slicks and launch much harder than the automatics. Can't do that here with a stick without shocking the tires. I think also the automatics have less slippage than they used to.
OK, I've never raced at Stanton, so I'm a little off topic. But my 80 LeSabre 60 foots like crazy. Last year at Thompson it hit the 1.99 mark. Even this year at Salem runnin like crap it turned a couple 2.09s. This is a former 15.30 car that hasn't broke 15.70 all year. How the heck it 60 foots like that is a big ole mystery to me. But its fun as all heck at those little stoplight wars on the way to work in the morning.
I ran a best 2.04 in My blue 69 Mustang 428 CJ coupe a badly slipping second gear and the secondarys not oppening at all kept me out of running on saturday .It was the first time on the track with a fresh car .Its gone a 1.98 since locally and tomorrow I will try again at IRP in Indy .Hope for much better things soon.
