He just went a 3.793. What will he do in the 1/4? Think be a record setting Pontiac pass?

Going there to bracket race? It wouldn’t seem so. 5.83 by the Kaufman digger and 250 mph for the boss bird are in reach.

Eric, what was the 1/8th mile ET on your runs? (and MPH?)
I'd say Tommy could get the ET possibly, but the MPH may be harder to do?

Our best 1/8 was 3.88 at 190-something so Tommy has us there.
But nitro makes more power under the heavier load of the big end so his 1/8 doesn't automatically translate to besting our 1/4. But I hope he tries. His car has the most potential of anybody. Eric

Norwalk one of the best treated starting lines for top fuel.
Not so much for other events. Not bashing just saying. Great place for 9-10 second cars. Langer show up make a run? Kauffmans? Spotty? GTO George? Bob and Frank? Rob and B Carol? They're a holes

Eric, the 3.88 was at 193mph and that was at the World Series in Cordova. 2017? It was on a mission, too bad they didn't prep the back side of the track, you spun the tires after you were past the 660.
Jerry said with nitro that you add two seconds to the 1/8mi ET to get a 1/4 time for what we were doing. He smiled and shrugged: "Well, that *would* have been a 5.88..." Same weekend we talked to Garlits at the restaurant, also hearing him tell the waitress in great detail over a few minutes how to properly microwave his piece of pie.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
