I've been nicking stuff off the NSRA again, I know it's a Ford with a Chevy engine, but check it out!

His times:
60' = 1.247
1/8 = 4.661 @ 172.14 mph
1/4 = 6.930 @ 207.66 mph

on 315 wide M/T drag radials,

Proline built 632 cid big chief motor with twin 91mm turbos or promod 90's.

Launch is not THAT quick, all done by the 1/8th; but by god, that's impressive.

thats a super run, is there any footage of the run Ivor?

It's in the link at the bottom of Ivor's post.

The video next to it (Unfortunately ends in him crashing it...

) shows a launch from a further away perspective. Pete's right, LAUNCH doesn't seem that quick! Guess it must be much harder to get the power down, right?

6s, though... Awesome!

Yep, his reaction time looks a bit snoozy too, but when those tubs spool up...wooosh!

Weird crashing on that same page has some cracking shots, turn the music down though unless your from the hood

6.930 @ 207.66 but previous run was 7.05 @ 223

Lost quite a few mph on the 6 sec run with whatever problem he was talking about at the top end...

Coinidence you should post this Ivor - I've been watching one of Stu's dvd's this evening - Door Car Chaos 2005 (by the same people that filmed this run), and back then, also at Bradenton, best on Drag Radials was around 8.20 @ 170

Quite an improvement!
