-------JoeG,

-------Red liked to grunt. Used to come out at about 24/2500 and made its power at about 69/7000. Thru the traps at 72/7300 with a 32x13 inch tire. Carried the left front tire about a foot off the ground for about the full first 60ft. During the last years I was racing we were doing mainly match races and exhibition stuff, and the promoters that hired us really didnt care what our ET was. It made for alot of fun passes as everyone just wanted us to twist Red up like a corkscrew and carry the front as far as possible. I could manage that!!!
-------What I am in awe of now days are these ten inch tire guys. They are running 3 inchs less tire with more air pressure than I ever could run and seem to be able to get these cars to stick with more power than I ever had. I guess they have softened up the bottom end a bunch so they can launch............Bill S
