FAST Drags Englishtown 06/11/06

Here some photos from the Englishtown FAST car show and drag race. I brought out the hemi Charger and made a couple passes. Unfortunately, I'm not legal for the stock or FAST class due to the dealer installed headers and rims and I had to run in the modifed class with everthing under the sun. First run was an "up in smoke" 14.20 @ 101 mph. Two hours later (after some guy in a Comet oiled down the track) I made a second run and just idled it out of the lights and eased it into second gear and stomped on it in 3rd. It ran a 13.80 @ 105 mph. Not bad for street radials and a rolling weight of 4302 pounds. At least I beat the Buick GS I was racing.

And here's the rubber to prove it:

It's kinda sad that the majority of the people looking at the cars there wanted to know what a particular car is worth before they ask anything else about it. My how times have changed.

BBBenny's 69 COPO, Cortez Silver with blue interior. Beautiful car, even if he wouldn't run me.

Monstrous 1970 Torino Cobra 428. It ran 12.05 in the FAST class.

Thanks for the great picture Steve. Mac Neish was there with The Old Reliable. Did you see him ?

Steve, I'm pretty sure the Trans-Am RAV III was my freind Steve K. I have not got a chance to see it in person, but I restored the belts for his car

He told me after he did not run it for insurance reasons. He took 1st in the TA NATS last year with that car. I have to talk to him about the TA RAV IV. Wish I could have made it, maybe next year. Nice pics, Thanks!

I walked around and watched most of the racing but never saw that car.
