You know this qualifies you and your pops as "Rocket" scientists right?

 

Nice Run and Cool Video Thanks Tim Jones

 

Nice run, but who was that standing in front and off to the side when you did your burnout???

 

Crewman/good freind/ world champion in 1978 aa/da .........then he went on to fuel cars......he's been on a starting line a couple times.....

 

Are you running 100% alky fuel? Any dyno numbers on the motor?

 

Holy ****! That rocket is awesome!

Tony = Ruler!

 

Awesome run Tony!!

 

Gotta agree with DRE. You got to be on your toes even behind the wall (I've seen a car go over the wall on a burnout), no way would I'd be out there between the car and the wall.
That said, great video. Impressive, love that motor. What ******? Couldn't hear you shift. Direct drive or top gear only?

 

Straight Alky.....
Approx 1200 hp.......


Powerglide.....I shift it manually

 

That's an impressive run for any engine from any era, but is mind boggling for an engine that was originally designed in the 1940's.

 

Yehaw!

 

Great video and its even greater having it a family affair!!! congrats.....

 

Wow! I am impressed with what you have acomplished with that ancient olds motor. Kudos to you and your crew. Amazing how you stay up on the tire and don't pull the motor down with the high gear only. Is that a high gear torque converter or a clutch??
Beautiful car too, Be proud!! Really cool stuff man!!!

 

I truly enjoyed watching and cheering for you. It was great to meet the family.

 

great weekend... time for Norwalk!!


TH

 

Thanks Bob!!!!

 

Ohhh Yeah!!!!

 

great car, didn't get to meet you but enjoyed the car ...... and bowling green

 

I was really impressed with the 7.0 and 7.5 cl***. They were my favorite of the weekend. But picking a favorite is really hard. This year was I believe the best racing I have seen to date.

 

my thoughts...EXACTLY

 

I can't say anything bad about the weekend.......ill be back

 

It was nice meeting you. Your car is wicked cool!!!!
