  • So you know where I come from

    i know alot of you have had to hear me drag on about my drag racing days... pun intended

    here's pics of my personal car I built in my own garage. 1963 Chevy II SS Nova, or whats left of it.

    Fastest passes @ PIR 1/8 mile 6.41 @ 105.5 and 1/4 mile 10.27 @ 129.7

    3312 lbs with me in it... 377 inch small block, single carb no NOS. Custom ford 9ich 4.86 gears. Custom powerglide trans.... These photo's are from 09 the last year I owned the car.
















    this last pic here is special. My buddy Jeremy owned the silver car. He passed away almost 2 years ago. I built the motor and tune the NOS in it. Car went 10.01 @ 131.6 on 8.5 inches of tire... He was crazy enough to drive it. I was dumb enough to tune it. We use to go down to the late night drags and I'd put the 100 shot set up in his car so it would run about 10.30's and we would battle all night... loser bought the beer after. As I tuned both car's he rarely won

    Very nice ride. Fourth car down on THIS list is mine. It only runs 12s because any lower and you have to go with a roll cage, the interior is factory stock and will stay that way. The NOS is for the IHRA tracks where 11s are legal without the cage.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

        Nope...stock interior looks like it just rolled off the factory floor, not changin it. Spends more time on the street than the strip anyway.
