Went to a wedding reception today and it turned out the groom is one of those middle-aged "reformed bachelor" types...the house decor was kind of a crackup. Anyways, he is a serious NHRA drag racer of some sorts. Car is a Pro Stock Pontiac with an alum-head 583(?) CI Chebby, MSD crankfire ignition, large alloy radiator, and a bunch of other electronics and stuff I didn't really recognize. The carb was about the size of a dinner plate, and he is thinking about going to duals. The header collectors were like 4-5". I think they said it runs mid-8's or so.
What a trip. I have never really been around this "crowd" before. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. |

It wasnt a Pro-Stock car.. they are running in the 6.90's at over 205 mph on 500ci's with twin 1300CFM Holley dominators. He is probably running NHRA competition elminator (probably the 7.99 index class)
Can you tell I have a clue about drag racing ?? LOL. Actually.. I think its harder to launch a car on 15 inch wide slicks with 1300HP and keep it pointed straight for 1/4 mile than it is to go around a corner. Lots of chassis tuning in a Comp car or a Pro-Stock car. The rear ends have at least 9 different adjustment points..plus adjustable Koni's coil overs. 1 degree of pinion angle change can decide if you win or lose. B |
