Bottle Rocket into the 8's in the 1/8 with slipping clutch

Want ET?

I got whipped by a 318 “2” barrel B body often enough in the late 80’s. Solid cam car and was lightened up and had 5.30 gears he got from me second hand. No “NOS” and was extremely consistent in his times. Mid 7’s.

His car hooked hard in 60ft and dumped me every time. I was running 4.56.

He was running Slicks and me street radials. The Old Protrac Street legal version from the 80’s. Was trying to hang in with the pro class. Bad idea in the long run for a street driven car!

His was open headers, My 383 292/509 was full factory cast iron exhaust with a 150 NOS shot and full interior.

Same size tires Ultimately. He ran out around 88 or so when I ran out mid to high 90’s due to tire spin and heavy foot.

Every thing is in that first 30/60’ . Work on that If you want lower ET!!!

318’s Can be damn good bracket cars as witnessed by me! Good luck with it and wish you the best!

Tony Perez was the owner/Driver and a damn good bracket racer in North Florida!
