1.27 60ft.!!!

That will get your attention!
Went to Milan,Mi. last night,That track hooks as good as anywhere!
In 5 runs 3 were 1.28 and 1 was the 1.27 with a throw away 1.31 when an experiment went wrong.....

It was only my second time out this year,Been busy with a new house.
Met some nice people,And brought my car home in one piece.

Oh yeah,Best run was 9.49 at 141 (3385lbs).........Stuck thereo No:

 

Awesome! Good job, Gary.

 

Verry impresive,what tire do u run?

 

Nicely done.

(Wish I had a 1.31 to throw away...)

:laugh:

I believe my buddy/engine builder Scott Williams is there today testing.

1.31 was an experiment gone wrong . Wish I had some experiments like that . Congratulations !

 

Heard he went 8.80 at 152+ !!!!!!!
Great guy,Love that car.

KOKO,
That was on a #3062s MT Slick (10.5x29.5)

 

Thanks guys....
Was adjusting tire pressure and shock settings,I think the track was "off" a bit on that pass as well.

Keith,
You know the car so you can appreciate this,Kemps Nova went a hand full of high 1-teen 60's on that same tire!!

 

great time what engine combo you running....

 

13 1/2 to 1 505 cid
Satge 2 SE
SP1 w/ 1150
Small Roller

It could all be for sale soon?

 

Gary, what kind of suspension are you using with those rear tires to get that 60'? :TU:

 

Just a 36" Ladder Bar w/ Double Adjustable Coil-over shocks that I'm finally learing to use.

Put some 30X10.5 Hoosier radials on the thing. It will run .30's.

Gary, pay attention... :TU:

 

I know Jim,It's something I need to get around to.
Last night was only the second time out this year and the class I was running specifies 10.5 x 29.5 so they would turn me away w/ a 30" tire....One of these days I'll try them and kick myself for not having do so sooner.

 

Thanks Chris,That's all I ever want it to be!

 

Hey Gary, you and your car put on a great show last night, the craftmanship on your car is none other. Great idea's put to good use. AWESOME car.

It was good talking to you again, plus the car went back home in one piece, EXCELLENT !!! Way to represent the buick c
crowd. :TU:

Gary, that guy John from Canada ( nice guy), that was running the yellow buick, 10.93-- 1.40's 60.ft
small valve cast iron heads, mech. cam, 10.2-1 comp.

He told me that car was one of the Len Immke cars fom the 70's, I guess its only been a race car most of its life. He bought in 1995 and has raced it in stock class for a while and now super stock. very cool !!!
