SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan

[69 Post Sedan]

I went with some friends to Union Grove's Great Lakes Dragaway last Wednesday. I had some issues at first which is to be expected the first time at the track with this car and a new motor.

I made 7 runs. The first was [email protected]. After a few changes I got the car down to [email protected]. The right lane timing lights weren't working at the 60'. I made a couple of runs in the left lane but only received one time slip. That was 2.161 60' which was my 13.87 run.

It wheelhopped something terrible so I couldn't do anything from the start. The cam said it's good until 6200 but I went quicker shifting at 7k.

It sure felt good to take it to the strip. The car felt at home there!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

Here are a couple of pictures. I'm trying to get the digital videos up on photobucket but I don't know how to get them on my computer first.

My buddy was having a hard time with the auto focus camera.

I did, I wish I could afford to do it every week. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

It felt good to run a 13.18 and a 13.14 with a 4 speed! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

Stefano, I had a lot of fun. Sorry we didn't get to talk too much...both of us were very busy. I hope to chat with you at the MCACN Show!

Where will I find the pictures that Bob took that night?

Kurt, I have a Chevelle traction bar from a 1969 Chevelle, 12 bolt rear, it really helped the chevelle's hook up and eliminate wheel hop, they were very popular back then,let me know if you want to try it, pretty easy to install, it just may get you into the mid 12's.
Very nice car, mike

Thanks for the offer Mike but I put some QA1 adjustable shocks on the car and the wheel hop is gone. They're not vintage but it's better than broken parts!
