i hope everyone had as much fun as me this weekend,i took a drive to a friends house in pittsburgh and we went to a event called flashlite drags at a local county airport. nothing like pounding on the cobra for 11 runs to make the weekend fun(didn't loose once).
i ran everything from a 13 sec acura to a 10.90 '55 chebbie. the chevy gave me the most competition,i only got him by about 1.5 cars both times we ran. there are no timers so i can only guess that my unique is somewhere in the 10.80's. the '55 is a friend of a friend so he showed me some et slips from quaker city to give me a idea how fast i am. all i can say is thank you! to maurice for talking me into running hoosier quick times on the rear. the car still spins in first,but not as bad,2nd gets about 10 ft of spin and you are gone.
oh there were also 3 other cobras there,a excalibur,a superformance and a factory five. for some reason after i made 6 or 7 passes NONE of them would run me. i talked with the superformance owner and was bragging his car pretty good before we started but when i went to see if he wanted to run he claimed he already had enough races lined up . oh well....all in all a great nite for the unique.
clay-i read your post about a super charger as a freshening...i was thinking that same thing all weekend. h'mmmmm,8.5 to 1,vortech,8-10 psi,cnc my heads,efi,my dyno guy told me last time i tuned my car i could make a easy 600-650 rwhp with his tune on pump gas. now that would be a fun ride....ya just never know...
everyone enjoy your monday...
