and I won in 7.922 sek (1/8 mile, professional timing) Topspeed 85,29 mph! Some pics: The winners, my coupe (small block) and Chris' roadster (big Block):
Wow, if those pic's were in black and white, I'd have though they were straight from an old hot rod magazine!
Cool! Was there a flag-starter? looks like the old days at Great Bend,Kansas, 1955 sparky. pretty good times too!
The races were started with a flag. Unfortunately I don't have a photo from the start. Time measurement started by passing a light barrier.
What did the white 29 roadster pull? I have an interest in that car, and would love to know how it did.
True Nostalgia racing, not like the 'Newstalgia' we have down here. Gotta love the shot with the passenger. Insurance companies would have a fit over here! Cool stuff guys, although you've got to learn to resize those pics to around 600 pixels wide.
I don't know his exact time, but he wasn't much slower than me and he only had the first gear of his powerglide. So if everything works he might be faster.
