[69 Post Sedan]

I took the Blue Bomber to Byron Dragway with some friends last Sunday for the first time in two years. In that two years, I have installed the Hurst Ram Rod shifter, line lock and rebuilt the front suspension. This was just a Test &amp; Tune day so I was just running the car for fun. It's amazing how I forgot how to do the basic things at the track since the last time I was there. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]

I bought a pair of used Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro rear tires as my ET Street tires were all used up.......they didn't work as well as the ET Street tires but still a pretty good tire once I got them heated up.

My first two passes......I spun the tires in first gear. My 3rd (last) pass the car hooked pretty good but I had a passenger......my wife Karen, who was a little reluctant to go at first but she is a real trooper.

Below are a couple pictures of the day and my time slips. My 60' times were horrible but that was due to the tires and I need more seat time at the track, other than that, I can't complain about the consistency. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

On a side note....my best time ever was in Joliet at the SCR reunion a few years ago which was 12.15@115.
