    GS Kubisch THE "CUT-UP" BUICK

    Previously the car had run 5.25 in the 1/8th.

    Since then the chassis/cage has been upgraded to a 7.50 certification with a fab'd 9 inch rear in place of the old 12 bolt. I also added a "beefier" set of chromoly ladder bars and tweaked the rear geometry some.

    To help offset some of the added weight, we chip away a few pounds in other areas. Most notable is a spindle mount front wheel update.

    I think the car wants less rear gear, especially with the 28" required for this particular race. (The car has been 131+ in the 1/8th with a 30" tire)

    Video is a 5.24 and then you can see the slip for the new best.

    That's the baddest Burford on the planet no doubt running faster than blower cars thru a single carb and all nat-ur-al!! Awesome job Gary

    And, he took his foot out of it at the end evidenced by the slower mph than the 1/8th.

    Could have been faster ET???

    And I've said this b4 ,....but Gary is doing more with less ,..that's what makes it so impressive,...that kind of power and performance from a single carb,..on a cast intake is damn near hard to fathom,..NO MATTER the make of the engine
