FAST Drags Englishtown 06/11/06

Here some photos from the Englishtown FAST car show and drag race. I brought out the hemi Charger and made a couple passes. Unfortunately, I'm not legal for the stock or FAST class due to the dealer installed headers and rims and I had to run in the modifed class with everthing under the sun. First run was an "up in smoke" 14.20 @ 101 mph. Two hours later (after some guy in a Comet oiled down the track) I made a second run and just idled it out of the lights and eased it into second gear and stomped on it in 3rd. It ran a 13.80 @ 105 mph. Not bad for street radials and a rolling weight of 4302 pounds. At least I beat the Buick GS I was racing.

And here's the rubber to prove it:



It's kinda sad that the majority of the people looking at the cars there wanted to know what a particular car is worth before they ask anything else about it. My how times have changed.

BBBenny's 69 COPO, Cortez Silver with blue interior. Beautiful car, even if he wouldn't run me.
