King of Columbus (Nitrous shootout)

Went to National Trails raceway last night w/friend to do some testing w/his car.While we were there I got to see some Fast doorslammers.The cars had to be street legal w/title,insurance etc. To my surprise the final was between a 69 Camaro w/632 BBC w/3 stages, and of all things a 65 Fairlane w/638 BBF w/3 stages.They ran 1/8 mile and The Ford was low qualifier w/4.87. The Camaro was having trouble w/nitrous all nite in qualifing running 5.20/30's. In the end the Camaro took the Topdog award w/4.77 to the Fairlane's 4.81. The Ford WAS impressive.
There is a stock and S/S show there today,so there was a 04 V6 Mustang there doing test runs w/V6 Nascar engine w/Auto Tranny.he was pitted next to us so i was asking him about the car. It ran 9.60's,He shifts it at 9600 and it crosses the traps at 9800 Yea,thats what I said. He runs a Coan Turbo 350 Tranny and has a 7" converter that stalls at 8200. It was very impressive to say the least.

Rick,
