Just for laughs, How does my [email protected] 1/4 mile stand? 20+ yr. old build on the long block, 670's home ported w/alky inj in an Altered.-I'd be happy to be in the top 20.-By the way, just got my comp lic. in the mail, but can't run again at milan till next week!!!-and I'll probably be working in ohio 10 day's 12hrs again -How am I going to get enough runs under my ass to not go out in the 1st round at Norwalk?!?! Bob.

Slowspitzer is probably close. He ran low 9 second times at Cordova using 6X heads on gas.

My brother just put a very mild 400 with 6X heads and hydraulic street cam in his dragster to get his daughter licensed. Ran 6-teens in 1/8th mile.
Talk about slow.

It weighs about 1800# with me in it. And I can't describe what it is but Altereds are WAY more fun to watch than any dragster outside of Top fuel or Top alky. A 7 second rail seems just another car, But I heard people were running up to see me go down the track!-Go figure!-Nice to be noticed.-Bob.

Bob needs to call Donnie Reeves for a Firebird flopper body, and install a 8-71 on that motor for some nostalgia flopper fun. Or just get the body and run it as an injected car.

Seriously though, altereds are cool. They're just funny cars with an open body.

Dragsters are cool too, so long as the engine is up front. RED's are boring...to watch anyway.

Nitrous, now there's an idea. My car could, maybe, keep up with the Wallace Brothers

My 220" 400 #62 D-port carbureted gas dragster runs 8.70's at 151+. The pistons are down in the hole .060 so it's a bit low on compression. Fun car.

Too bad tractor pulling doesn't have clocks; I had some pulls in the range of ten seconds with my blown Pontiacs! Only 300 feet though- but pulling a 14,000 pound sled!

Oops (again)- looked back and saw you asked for N/A times. Well at least one of my engines had D-ports.
