Mike,

I love front engine small block dragsters-what class was that in? Was it B/D?

 

[Mike]

Sorry Guys, been in Vegas.


Dave, my car was one of the 1st econo rails in the 70's. Stupid me, I think I was a young Professor Dave, only not as smart. I decided that a clutch was the way to go. From the day I 1st ran the car I knew it would never win like I had before in door cars. Couldnt ever get it to leave the same and it was a ***** to shift. On the other had, sure had a lot of fun doing wheelies.

I thought it might have been an econo class car when I saw what looked like a carb.

Clutches are more tunable in the sense of adjusting to track conditions, but tough to get to be consistent initially. It's a lot easier with a automatic car.

How'd you get thru tech inspection with that?

 

[Mike]

Dave, that only works if you have the talent. Clutchs back then werent near as tuneable like the ones today.




Mike, it was kinda mounted and most of the time tech was pretty laxed.

Mike;
I've had lots of cars that were subject to that 'Oh, hi DJ. How about those (fill in the local team of the era) and get that heap out of here so I can harass this street guy that I don't like'! If they saw your car twice they never loked again! We DID survive though...somehow?

 

[Mike]

DJ, as you well know that once you are a regular tech is kinda a slide through thing.

A great picture, and it makes a great wallpaper! But what I really want to know is why there's no mention of the ____________ in this thread? Ouch! I just felt a bi-ch slap through my monitor! Really a cool shot though!
