Ready for the HAMB Drags? What's on your list.

Well I have never run it before at the strip but I would guess Its capable of getting into the 11's . But since im driving it there AND HOME hopefully, Im not going to run it all that hard. Where could I find all the criteria required to p***?

 

I always use an NHRA rulebook, that way if I make it to an NHRA track it will be legal. Usually the rules are pretty standard. Not trying to knock your car or anything but you may be surprised what you run if it has never been on the track. I would run it at a local track and see what it does.

The reason I say this is that if your car does run 11's. You are gonna hafta have a roll bar in it, which could make a lot of work for yourself........especially if you run in the 12's or 13's and don't end up needing one.

 

I have to change the rear spring in the T Coupe, so the drive shaft isn't up my *** on the trek up there. Check the points, fill it full of gas and s****e all the bugs off the window.

Oh yeah.....make sure i have Rain-X!!!!!!!!!!! That stuff was gold last year.

Thanks Tman, there's really not much to it.

Man Ben, racking up the miles. How many miles have you driven in the last year?

Hey Root, does a tag go along with the radiator and water pump?

Don't go and change that upholstery Billy!

Afraid not.

 

I just have to put the whole car together, wire it and bleed the brakes.

DUDE - your gonna make it? Killer, lookin' forward to seeing you and that damn fine truck, again.

 

The Redline Rockets are a set of spark plugs on one rig and an exhaust system on another away from blast off.

 

Thanks Root I understand what your saying, and I think It would have to hook up really good and I would have to run the **** out of it to get into the 11's and that my still be pushing it I just figured at 2500 pounds 327@ 6PSI of boost it might be capable of it I just wanna be able to make a few p***es for fun and not break anything hopefully
Its more than likely I will be in the 13's as Im not gonna run it hard but what Im worried about is:
No roll cage No SFI rated bellousing or flywheel no blower restraints and I only have lap belts so if I run say 13.0's or slower will I be OK for tech?

 

Should be with a helmet.

 

PM DW, he is almost the same setup.

 

DW is running mid 11's.

I think Russco should be in the 12's, at least. And I think you might need a drive shaft loop, per NHRA, to run 12's. But they are pretty relaxed for the HAMB drags.

 

Yeah I know but he may be able to shed some light on what his car has on it.

 

We have to rebuild the motor after breaking it last week at the drags! Either that or stick the big block back in it!
