In car....first time out, 42 degree temps. Best run of the night was the first run, 13.27 @ 103mph w/ 2.37 60' due to the fact that the street tires really couldn't tolerate WOT in 1st gear. This run was 13.43 @ 102.5mph

Basic rundown of the truck is this:
Stock wheels/tires/gears
408 w/ AL heads and 228 @ .050 cam, 15" of vacuum at idle. 372hp to the rear wheels.
cal-tracs to keep the tires planted.
It's a big source of pride that my wife can jump in and drive it with no coaching from me, despite her being absolutely clueless about cars/older carburated cars.

Damn, haven't been down a drag strip in 10 years. Looks like fun, interesting to see how some people hang on to their cars pretty much forever.

I had last run prior to building the engine...15.2@91 stock. Probably 5 years tho.

I'm just finishing up a couple things (new wood, rebuilt steering column, likely new fuel tank back in the proper location) and then will likely sell it next year. But ran it to make sure I could put it's 1/4 time out there and advertise that's it's built to go. Getting close to paying off the house and the money from it will put me over the top. I have far more fun boating lately...more fun on the great lake than at great lakes dragaway.
