Will burns from Va. made a new best official slant six 1/4 mile mile pass, at Mason-Dixon dragway, in Md, on May 17th.
Not sure of the year, but a second generation Cuda.
Et 9.62 at 118 mph, shutting off early. On a previous pass had run 10.11 at 132 mph.
Congrats, Will
 
I understand he pushed out a head gasket on that run too.Just think it may have been a low 9 on a full pass. Way to go Will !!
 
Here is the bad slant ride. 1967 Barracuda

I have seen Will's barracuda a few times (but not in person) jetting down the track, Congratulations Will and thank you Charrlie_S for the update
I will keep an eye on utube, I beleive he has a web site or part of the Killer Bee's
 
What is that they say???? If you can dream it, you can do it.......
 
I would love to see that car run in person......
I bet it sounds awesome.

Excellent!!!!!
 
Charlie how much boost was he running?

I don't know. I was supposed to go to that meet, but was unable to make it. I will see if I can get some more details.

I did find out on the 9.62 pass, he was 120 mph, at the 1/8 mile mark.
These are his times for the run:

60 foot= 1.519
330 ft= 3.980
1/8 mile= 6.019 at 119.87
1,000 ft= 7.58
1/4 mile= 9.626 at 118.79
 
Hey Guys, Thanks for all the congratulation.

As you can imagine, it felt awesome. I never thought
it would go that fast. I could not have done it without
lots of help from everyone!
15 PSI boost

That is AWESOME, Will!!!

It took a while, but it was well worth waiting for!

How much did it weigh on that run?

Wow! That was great pass, hope you didnt hurt it to bad. I've seen some you tube videos of your car it's quite impressive.
 
Fantastic. Even if us 99% slant owners never get close, it lets us hold our head up. Just like I enjoy seeing the early Mopar turbovan shame a Z28 on youtube.
 
No video that I know of. There were a lot of people at the track, so if any one
finds one please let me know.

After the pass we weighed the car 2225 with me.

Thanks again to all
Will
 
I would like to see a link to a you-tube video showing this, gotta be someone filmed it!
 
I was hoping you were going to be there Sunday. I would love to see you run. I wish my slant six ran that good. You are my hero man!
