Last year, I believe we got her to average 10.75 or 10.80 for the week/event, really can't remember. SME quick 32 car break was even faster in 2018 and all we were doing was just spraying enough in high gear to make sure she got in the special race at the end of the week. On the last day, she did run a 10.30@130 with a 125 shot in 2nd and 3rd.
This year we are changing heads and going to a roller (no more flat tappet!) which should put the car easily in the 9.90-10.0 range.

I know it's not a Pontiac, but a good friend of mine won his class at Drag week. Glenn Hunter. 56 Chevy all steel, and original glass. Car weight is 3650. He won 3rd over all 1st in his class. His best pass was a 7.23 at 195. He does drive the car all over, even when not on drag week.
Drag week is on my bucket list, it is top of my list.

You would be amazed at what some of the cars in the event run!!
By far, Friday is the coolest day to watch because every car that goes down the track just completed a weeks worth of driving and any adversity they may have encountered along the weeks drive to get to this point.
We've done/completed 4 Dragweeks now and when we pull back into the track on Friday morning where you started the journey on Monday, you get a big senses of relief and an awesome feeling of satisfaction that you've just completed the ultimate torture test you could put your car thru.
