congrats
As for it being a record setting car I think there was a misunderstanding. The car set it’s personal best or the class best. I’ve not seen any evidence of a class best so I’m thinking it was the cars best. And I think that happened at the baby Gators in Flordia 20 or 21. Not sure. I need to find out. I do know the car was hit with 90 pounds. The index was lowered & I understood it to be this car, but I likely missunderstood. I text with the previous owner regularly. He’s come out to watch. In fact he was there last night with his Mirada but a fuel leak & never unloaded it. I’ll talk with him some more about all that stuff. He continues to tell me the car is competitive. Only one way to find out.Nice trailer & nice passes
I assume, because
I can't hardly even read the crumbled-up time slip posted
should be fun anyway
that's what it's all about
my morbid curiosity
I'm sort of curious what did it run originally ?
'the incrementals' at the 60', 330', 660' (1/4 mile)
when the former owner's 'record-setting pass/es'
(wasn't this a former class record-setting car ?, I thought I remembered seeing that)
what is the final plan for the car ?
what do you plan for it, what do you want to run ?
you still going to run (what was it ?) Stock class ?
or going in a completely different direction ?
again I'm just curious
No keep posting it...
No I didn’t get any of that. I’m not sure why. I think a lot of these guys are protective of their combinations. I will say he’s been quite helpful when I have reached out to him. He’s invited me to come hang out in his pit when he’s running the Mirada. And I plan to take him up on that. As far as not posting I wasn’t directing that at you just figured I’d better follow the group rules. Oh I called a buddy of mine who knows this car well. He thinks I got confused on record holding vs under the index. This car runs well under the index I’m told & he thinks I mistakenly thought that meant it was the class leader. He said he’s not aware of it setting a class record, but it does run really good.
did you get any books/logs or old time slips ?
you can compare your new combo against their's
to see if the stuff actually improves it, when it was competitive
or before the weight penalty
I know I'm a PITA, it's just curiosity, not trying to bust your balls
just want to know incremental/s of what it should (or did) run,
vs what it does run
no big deal,
as you know, drag racing is all about the #'s
people always want to know the #'s
have fun, good luck too
Keep posting on the Imperial. Don't stop. Probably my favorite post B Body era car.
YES! Keep posting on this forum. It's a cool car and we are "invested" in its progress.
Well unfortunately Rockingham was rained out. Don’t currently have anything planed for it. I may take it out to a TNT & mount a camera in it & drive it as David is going to be busy helping a buddy with his index car as they have to make 4 races out of the 6 to qualify for the points championship race. It’s a 5.90 class & they are a bit slow so they gotta find some power. So there won’t be much happening with the Imperial for a while. I’m so damn rusty as a driver ill be lucky to win a round
