Re: F.A.S.T. Racing.
[ QUOTE ]
I wonder what the vette 1/8th mile was. I am guessing around 6.60. [/ QUOTE ] You're really close on the Vette 1/8th mile time. The actual time was 6.617 in the 1/8 R/T ... .136 60' ... 1.565 330 ... 4.314 1/8 ... 6.617 MPH ... 106.37 1000 ... 8.615 1/4 ... 10.308 MPH ... 132.84  Terry said the tire shake was so bad on that run he short shifted into second gear and almost let off the gas, but after he shifted into second gear the tire shake went away. Seems like there may be an even better e.t. to come !!

Re: F.A.S.T. Racing.
Neat time slip. How far the cars have come in such a short time. It's just amazing the ET's. The 2nd half of the time slips are just unreal. The question is where will it stop? I think that is a $ and cents question.

Re: F.A.S.T. Racing.
As the car count increases, thus less time for tech, I think you are right, $$ and one's conscience (in regards to the rules) will dictate the future of the event.
I for one think they ought to go back to square one, where the cars need to be the way they would have come from the factory. IMO, does not get any more simple then that.

Re: F.A.S.T. Racing.
Thanks Sam. I actually qualified 3rd that day with that pass. It was my best attempt yet, at getting an E-body to hook up on bias ply tires with a 700 hp hemi. I was running 18psi in the rear tires and 50 psi up front.

Re: F.A.S.T. Racing.
I watched the 74 455 trans am run yesterday at steele ala.
Very nice car. I think he was running mid to high 12s. I think a stick shift class should be added if the car count is high enough. Seems like the autos have a great big advantage.
