The srt 4's runs. He did his personal best on the last run. Mostly stock srt4 with aftermarket bov, exhuast and a few other things.

 

z28

z vs firebird, bird has a ls1 in it

 

2/3 times the z won with little traction.

 

The z has a 6.0 gmc v8. It broke a u joint in the driveshaft on the last run.

Link to video of all the other cars at the track last Sunday including some 4 second dragster runs.

 

I went again friday Night because they have a event called Friday fun night where anyone can bring a car to run. And since I had a Friday off for once, I went. Here is some pictures.

 

Went to the local dragstrip again for a Fun night. I didn't run due to tires and brake issues I have. but I did take some pics of the cars there.

 

First set is of a 1977 Nissan FairladyZ, imported from overseas. Right hand drive and all. I think it has had the gas tank replaced, that is all.

 

 

 

Next set is of a Mustang Mach 1

 

 

then some other car shots.

 

slow Jetta vr6. It ran 10's on the 1/8th which is what I think my Malibu will run.

 

 

Weather cut the day short

 

 

 

They also had a 4 second car there, but it was only doing 60 feet runs due to 30 mph cross wind.

 

Turbo Omni, it broke first run out. Axle.

It did run 8's last year.
