Ok while I think it’s cool you get to drive the Nova, I can’t understand WHY he would want anybody else to drive his car? Just curious.

So what’s the bet for closest to the et for the Nova in the 1/8th mile?

My dad bugs me all the time to run his GTO that runs 10.30’s. It took my wife 10 years to talk me into running her car down the track. I couldn’t afford to fix my car after I blew it up the last time so I won’t run anyone else’s.

Hey, I did the same thing with my '70 K10 years ago when it was still a a basically stock 454.
We got there late, so I figured rather than teaching me how to drag race, let the crazy one drive!!! @500$k5 that is...
He said that staging a 4x4 with 33's was different. :haha:
 
I hate ratchet shifters


never had the right one... ;)

i'll swear by my original Hurst v-matic.. none of that B&M crap... :deal: fugger was always bang on thru the gears..

I slogged that unit thru the mopar hotrod era from rig to rig for a decade, flawless with the 727/904's... :bow:

survived this clusterfug, even with a broken bellhousing...... :doah: :haha:

I don't know why either, but I'm game, if he is. What is the normal bet for closest et?
 
I usually find the biggest bag I can find. It’s an absurd payout anyway :haha:

Sounds good! Big bag of cheetos for the closest 1/8 mile et, for the Nova. My Monte, running a 12.73 quarter, had an 8.14 eighth.
 
Here's my street/strip car.
Pic should be familiar...
It's a 390/4 speed car that had a tf and is apart for some extra ci's, port work and a glide.

When I went to Wyoming Tech, in the 80's, my friend had a Javelin with a 390 4 speed. We won a few races, till we met up with a 454 Chevelle, with a 150 shot on it.
