Sorry about not getting the 10. I know how troubling it is to do in n/a with smaller cubes...i kinda gave it an effort years ago, still have a buddy trying(albeit we were/are doing it with 302/306's).
I did get my first 10 sec pass this weekend tho.... 10.66 @ 130mph. 60' was way off the norm, had clutch slipping issues. I think it could have gone .40's.
Can't wait till next year and try it again, maybe i won't wait until the last weekend of the year to get down the 1/4 mile,lol!!

Nothing girly about it - the only way I'm gonna hit the 10's.
Why so dead set against the girlamatic? Still have to shift gears!
Not my cars. But I believe they're stock block 347s with a 200 shot.
It's not shifting gears, you're telling the tranny when to shift, that's all. It takes almost all skill out of driving a car. Think about it this way, If you had a sister that weighed 100lbs. You could spend 30min teaching her how to drive a manual valve body automatic, and she will go faster in your car than you because she's lighter.
When a 10 or 11 sec stick car pulls up to the line at the track I can't help but smile and get all giddy. When a single digit automatic pulls up I yawn and walk the other way. It's probably just me, just a preference. The only time I think it's okay is in a turbo car where the auto is pretty much necessary to make the car work the way it should.
See, that's exactly the kind of responses that are cool to get when you know how to drive a car
Alright back on topic. Jeff did you get any videos from any of the runs?? I want to see that faceplated tko600 going through the gears!
Man, I dunno, I think ratchet shifted AT cars are badass so long as its fast enough to justify it. Mid-to-low tens on spray is justifiable. The only problem I see is that when you're not juicing it, you might wish you still had the stick, especially if you are up in the air about it right now.
Do you ever have plans on going 9s with that car? If you plan on a lot of spray, I can see it happening.

I know you were talking about Drag Week, you need to get in there and make a good showing. I love HRM, but if its one thing they are snobs about, its Fox Mustangs with SBFs- you never see them in that magazine. It seems like to get a Fox in their magazine it either has to have a BBC or a diesel in it. If you show up and run mid 9's on juice maybe they'll show some respect.
