    I had a blast at the hamb drags. My car is all about getting down the hiway. 272 gears tall tires top end type stuff. Getting a chance to see what it could turn at drags was a rush. 80mph 3350 pounds 17.06et slow as dirt. anyone know the formula to calculate approx hp with that info? also why no real elimination runs? didnt really bother me but did hear some flak about that. go anyway great cars good time .:)

    Hey now.....my Falcon went 17.80 at 77 and I thought I was haulin' ass! LOL
    Online calculators vary a bit,but 80 mph at 3350# is pretty close to 135 hp at the wheels. About 50% more than I'm making.....
