New career best 6.005 at 115

The car was flawless last night. It ran a career best; 1.320 sixty foot, 6.005 1/8th mile, 115.06 mph. It ran a 6.02 and 6.03 also. My previous best was three years ago at 6.05. I might add that the 6.005 was in the first round of eliminations in a 6.0 index race. I tuned on it all night, it ran a 6.13 off the trailer and just got better as the air came in and the fuel adjustments were on the mark. I also got to see my ole' buddy Ervin J Willert at the track. Second round was a disaster, my finger slipped off of the transbrake and I left before the tree activated. All in all a great night. I have to thank Tina Beggs and Joe Clark for helping me out.

You said that right, thanks to Dan she is finally running what I thought it should run all along. Thanks to Keith Fulp for helping find my problem.

Hello Kerry, I don't know you or your car so excuse me for asking you about your combo, engine, trans and rear, that thing really hauls the mail, I have a 68 coupe that I'm going to build next, I want to try to keep the stock front end and maybe do mini-tubs in the rear with latter bars and coil overs, BBF and a PG

Hey Butterbean, no secrets here. 466 Ci, AR429 heads ported by Charlie Evans, Victor intake, Comp Cams solid cam spec'ed by Lem, 14.1-1 CR, PG tranny, MW rear end, 486 pro gear, car weighs a whopping 2388 wet without me in it, race weight about 2600. I'm very limited on cam size per Lem because this engine has TRW pistons with big domes. A stroker kit is in the near future. It is alcohol injected, Ron's 2100 cfm Terminator. Just let me know if you need anything else.

Nice job! I went 6.01 in good weather and think I'm going to spray it before winter. Two more points races to go.

Get back out there and get that 5.99.

Congrats Kerry!
BTW, whats your chassis setup like? Was curious hence the weight.
