Mike thanks for the Pictures, looks good. So do you have any Night shots?
I have made ten passes with our car so far with only using 1st gear. 2nd gear has low fluid pressure for some reason. I have not pulled the trans yet but was told it is most likely a seal issue that is causing the problem.
I am running on a set of well used/old M/T 10.5X31X15 = hard .
The car has run a best 60' of 1.29, 330' of 3.69(end of first gear) 660' of 6.01@98mph 1/4 10.99 @99mph. Again we have only made 10 passes with the car. I can't wait to see how it does when I find where 2nd gear went, and the new tires are on (M/T 11X33X15). The engine is still running very rich(engine temp drops 25-30 degrees during the run), I will lean it out some on the next time out.

As for the reason there is an issue with the Dragsters running with the Door cars, "WE" do not look like a Buick. . Also it has been said that Dragsters are extremely consistant, and I would think this scares the competition. If we run faster than some of the regular Folks in the premiere class, we bump them from thier regular spot in the class. This is a concern that I have been told......
My Idea is to have the Winner of the Dragster class to run for King of The Hill against the winner of Super 16 if they are willing to run against us.

Send me your ideas on this class, ie; limited rules, ideas ,and ladder system, to jesupercat@yahoo.com .

The shot below is from Bowling Green this year. I ran the engine out of fuel so I wouldn't have to drain the tank. That's my story and I'm sticking to it .

Hey Guys

We can add an asterisk after the fastest Buick on the planet just like baseball*

becuz of different variables that it was achieved...

yeah thats my story... lol

I like it fast and I want to see it, just being there is sooooo much better... The vendors, tuners, engine builders and racers, it is a team effort, I don't see anybody doing IT by themself... look at GS Nats, there is the staging person, crew chief, it helps to see what and where you can improve and a little tweaking is made and back to the track or back to fixing broken parts...

When we say the fastest, the track will only allow what the conditions allow... 2 days at BPG or 5 days at GS Nats, there is always next year!

One thing I do see is that PTC converters are on WINNING cars or top qualifiers for Turbo Classes of GS Nats...

Fastest of the fastest is better each year and driving the et's lower and increasing MPH (who cares about mpg)

Dusty, I got it. A good omen is that I stuck it in the trans and 2 quarter turns it was on both splines and another about 2" it went right on the pump.
Im going to try to set a short block in the car maybe tommorrow and check out the rest of fitment!!! But it looks good!!! Ill keep you posted. Mike
