How bout a 'post your 13 second combo' sticky?

Cranky · May 4, 2018

I know there's a lot of people with cars that have smaller engines and even a 318 in a lighter car is capable of going 13's.....from experience I know they can and usually do it without breaking the bank. Would anyone like to see a sticky thread on this?

More info is better than no info. It should be a busy section.

13-second times are where it's at for the majority here I would think. :thumbsup:

Headers and sticky tires got me down to 13.3@107 a few years ago. A little race gas and nothing else but fast feet peddling down the 1/4 mile.

Nitrous & such is not in my DNA.

why not, it couldn't hurt
maybe bring more traffic to the racers hangout too

I agree, bring the sticky on. 13's are more the norm in the hobby than 10's.

Agree there brother....I can handle electric cut-outs and EFI....but laughing gas is a little too much for me.

Yes, a 13 second combo thread would be great. Much more realistic for most of us.

If you dip into the 12's in that A-100, you're a bad MOFO!! :thumbsup:
