Bad *** car blown hemi racecar for sure,
Budnicks Really Likey!!
I'd love to see them run Chief twin turbo Pontiac &/or any of the Street Outlaw Boys
After-all they/the Street Outlaw's are "
allegedly" doing a nation-wide fastest street racer call out,
their 5 fastest or for the 10 fastest cars $5,000 buy-in per car, by region/demographics, winner take all $50,000
Lets see if anything "actually" comes of it...

Mike, what were typical times in those days?
Blown AFX cars & some of the AFX/AWB cars,
the faster guys were getting/dipping down into the 8's IIRC
the others were mostly in the high 9's-10's, some just low 11's,
depends on what region, what sanctioning bodies etc.
Remember tires, suspension, camshafts, heads & track surfaces, etc.
weren't anywhere near what they are now...
Most were hopped up 4 speeds or altered Automatics & leaf springs
or like Clutch-Flites {Chrysler}, Clutch-Turbos {GM} or Fords C-6 with a Clutch
4 links coil overs or floater rear ends & Ladder bars suspended cars
started to come on, but it took a while to have them become the norm,
then #'s started dropping...
I remember that was "
fast" for NA cars back then 1967-1968,
& FE fueler's or F/C's or Fuel Altered were barely/rarely tapping into the high 6's
lower 7's was far more the norm... At-least out west here in Calif.
