Not really diggin' the front clip. The back of the car looks cool though.

Drag Racing Movie of the Week - Mark Sheehan Sets World Record in Small Block Altered

Yep,

That is the other Altered.

It recently set the Australian TAA National record a few weeks ago at a 5.789
went 3.64 to half track and 0.899 60ft!! Those are not the figures from the one run though, seperate ones through out the event.

Here it is...

No longer a small block though.

With the small block in their TAD I believe it went 5.58, don't quote me, because I haven't fully switched on my brain

Hopefully I can try get in on Sunday to see this nitro beast though

If Batman REALLY wanted to haul balls!

 

[Mr. Jean]

Nice Altered, but I prefer open wheel look. No front wheel coverings for me. I'm just stuck in the past.

What's the Wheelbase on that thing? Some of those altereds are 150" and they go straight as a dragster. If that was a 125" that ran a 5.58 than that's impressive as hell!

Joe, it's an ex-JFR Chassis that they are also going to put a body on to run Funny Car, so I would say that it is 125".

Those 125" wheel base altereds are being called "transformers" out here.

What % nitro are they running? You can see the flames in the daylight!

Sorry to see the motor blew up. That sucks
Lots of carnage.

 

[Mike]

Need to shorten that WB up to about 98"

 

[Mr. Jean]

Don't make them like they use to, huh Mike? If I had that much in mine, I'd have called it a rail.

 

[T.Smith]

Did someone forget to arm the cannon?

Have any 100" Altered's ever run in the 5's?

anywhere between 95 and 100.... the motors sitting WAY to low... and didn't see a grill... and don't get me started on the jumbo jet wing.... and what's with the wheelie bar/stinger? it looks as long as a F/A's total wb....

Looks like a George Barris production.
