Altered drag video.

Send it down, I'll gasser it for you!!! Word got out that I liked the "early" style straight axle set-ups, and I've grown quite a collection. A couple Dodge's, and some Ford and early Chevy's are on the way. The new shop has quite a bit more room than the old one, enough to build a fixture table to handle straight axles.


I ran a 7.90, with a 2.0 60-ft. Quite a bit of wheel spin. I could not foot brake it outta the Irwindale mud box, as the Sure-grip has lost its bite. Could not get enough heat in the tires is my thought, so it spun off the line all night. I just came in from pulling the rear axles earlier this evening, getting set to install the lightened spool with 4.30's. I'll be looking forward to my next night out at the track. And, hopefully, better video!!!

Like I said, I'm still considering it. I didn't get a chance to look at your car at FallFling. Hopefulling if you are at springfling I can stop by and chat. I'd be interested in the motor mount arrangement. As you can see by the picture the car now sits pretty much at stock level. I would have to change the mono spring on the Calvert if I ran a straight axle. By the way, that's an interesting location for the cutoff switch.
