your absolutely rite.its not the time or speed that we do for most of us. its the amount of fun and the feeling of accomplichment that you have acheived a dependable car that you can drive or beat the snot out of. every time I do a pass ,I,m trying to better my previous run.JMO Ron
Those are good times for street tires/250 engine. I've seen V8 cars around here run 18s lol Hopefully they'll open up our track again .
I one time ran a 18 sec. flat with a 51 chevy with a 261 6 cyl, 3 on the tree with the stock 4.11 rear gears. I did have 2 one baral carbs and split manifold but I beat 3 v8 cars in the process and the smallest one was a 300 cu. in. Good job having fun with what you have.
