I can post still pics but they don't stay long as you can see already, I have a setting wrong with either photobucket or my computer that I haven't found yet. Unfortunately when I was running the car often years back, I didn't own a video camera at the time.

ET's varied a couple tenths depending on the weather. Best ET was 13.26, and it would go 104-105 mph.
I'm sure the ram air III cars competing nowadays have picked that up quite a bit since.
Formulajones,

It would be great to see you bring your '70 Formula to our race in September. We haven't had a '70 RAIII Formy yet at the race that I recall and your car runs really well. I tech most of the Pontiacs at the Pure Stock Drags and am a stickler for original casting numbers and suspensions.

Is the car a 3.73 4-speed?

Thanks, Dennis
