Home from TriState and our 348/409 Race -My 62 SS 409 Stroker ran great.... My stock rear end and stock axles held up.....(have posi girdles and billet carrier bearing)
See close up of the trophys Dan and I got.
What a great time. I never thought I would could win -because: After blowing the same 409 stroker engine ( broke timing chain , bent 4 valves at over 100 miles per hour -in 2013 at TriState )and a bad clutch at Bowling Green in 2016-
I told the race attendees that I think my 20 years of drag racing in the 60's, 70s helped me win - I don't remember red lighting then and did not this weekend, and I remember leaving first many times (I have 150+ time slips from the 60's/70's).
My reaction times went from (only 2 time trials).244 and .438
to Sunday eliminations were;
.193 red light win to me
.227 - ran 13.709 on a 13.70 dial in
.045 (final Division 2) I ran 13.89 on 13.70 dial
.200 (racing Dan (Ishiftem) I would have preferred that Dan did not break on this final between both classes
Not bad without a line lock with my Muncie 4 speed and a 3:36 posi
The Division 2 final with Randy (1964 Super Stocker) was great, I had to run him down in the lights (after he had 2.50 second -almost 3 second head start....)
I am thinking about next year that we can do it again -thanks Dave...great Saturday food.
