There was a lifted k10 on drag week this year. Brutal wheehop.
My brother ran his C10 several years ago at Byron...ran 11.07 @ 122, it's not stock. He was having issues with wheel hop so we put a 4 link in it and this was the first pass after the 4 link install. Before that it would wheel hop and not hook at all.

Did your front driveshaft bottom out Dave or what happened?Kert was my only competition that day, and I lost him when he had to shift that 465….
then I broke the trans case.

I had a skid plate that pushed up on the transfer case and put tension on the transmission, so throughout the torquing and twisting that day the trans case snapped. I have since spaced the skid plate so it doesn’t touch the transfer case now….no problems anymore.
@folkenheath How'd your gang do at the million?

Drag racing photos of nostalgia dragsters. Drag racing pictures of front engine AA/FD from 1949 to 1972. NHRA from the start. An amazing trip down memory lane.

That's crazy and exactly why front engine dragsters aren't used much anymore. Did the suit work, did he get burned? Either way he got burned less with the suit, I just hope he didn't get burned at all, but that looks pretty bad.
Nick won the opening $50K and they went several rounds after that but nothing bigger than the $50K. Which is still a good weekend, I think this is the first year he won two $50k in the same year if I remember correctly.

Weather is looking real good tomorrow for the FAST group coming to US131 in Martin, MI.
I think they’ll let me run even though my car isn't Factory Appearing Stock Tire, Factory Stock, or Modern Muscle eligible.
should be able to get some passes in as the car count should be less than most test and tune sessions.
Im going to run it in street trim and tune. Sidepipes w mufflers, 32* timing and pump gas to start. Taking the timing light, jets, and a couple gallons of race gas along too.
I’m guessing the density altitude in August when I ran the 12.24/115 was around 1500’
friday should be below 800 all day, maybe below 0 in the morning!
