Going to be taking my slick down to Houston Raceway Park in Baytown Friday night to get a few passes in, , its safe street night, 20 bucks will get you unlimited runs all night, I dont plan on dogging it too hard yet, suppose to be a decent night. maybe a few slicks from the area can make it out

well was a decent night at the track, my truck ran pretty good, as i had figured i could not get the tires to hook up, if i feathered it coming off i did ok, otherwise i just spun ,,best run i could make was a 13.25 @ 104 mph, here is a video of one of my passes, the mustang im running is a friend of mines, its a cobra sleeper,
just excuse my son and his friends comentary, they didnt know the recorder would pick their voices up so easy

No that was a good "peel out". Didn't you here the person shooting the video?

nice.... what engine are you running???

I've never raced Aggie, but I dont imagine she would do that well.... With a stock Stall rpm torque converter, and especially with the 2.73 gears in her right now. the 3.89 gears I got might surprise me. Or the fact that they are still an open gearset may totally disappoint anyway!

its a 514 stroker, with 4.11 posi rear, this was my first time at the track with the rebuild, a little tuning and if i can get the back to hook up, i dont see any problems getting to the upper 12's , great thing about it, its still street legal, took it for a sunday drive this weekend

Pretty good run. I got a '66 F100 with a 418 FE . I live up in the Austin area. And i made some test runs in Seguin. Had a new Carb, and new Ignition. was having some issues hooking up. Here is one of the quicker runs. it was 13.13 @ 100mph. I have to big a stall in the truck right now.
This truck has been in the 12's before!..
