this was our first time out. with a horrible track condition, a problem with the throttle linkage (its alcohol injected with kinsler injection), suspension not set up right, we ran 8.08 @ 165. once all those are corrected were hoping for about 7.50 @ 180.

There are only a few 57 fairlanes that I know of. And most of them Im sure are running Chevrolet power. Not this one. Ford thru and thru.

Thanks for the compliment frank, glad you like them. Any C/C?

Actually it was a race. Not test and tune. Test and tunes are friday nights during the summer.

Nah! I like the low angle in #1 that hides some of the junk in the background, but just keep doing what you're doing. ;)

You need to come to Australia, there's quite a few 57' Chevy Drag Cars and Funny cars flying about on the strip :) hehehe...
