Test your reaction time.. http://sh3d.com/protree.html <br /><br />.494 reaction time. 
<br /><br />Did you watch the time trials this evening. Tony Shumachers car broke the frame right behind the drivers seat. Maaaaaan what a ride. <br /><br />And Dixon goes 4.490 
<br />Hey RP, when you put 7000 HP to the ground like that and the cars bow up where they do, it's a wonder more of them don't break there.<br />You take something 25 foot long and it wants to pivot in that area, puts a real strain on the frame.
Yea, it's all a maybe right now and KB says one of the major hurdles is not to have a sponsor that would conflict with Bud.<br />He says an offer is on the table between them.Originally posted by Reel Poor:<br />I think for this to happen, Ken Black has to find a place on the car (preferably visiable) for a Budweiser sticker.
Yes I sure did, it was more peach colored than pink though.Originally posted by snapperbait:<br /> SBN.. At one time, did you have a PINK nova or chevelle?....
<br />The Monte was called "The Wright Stuff" and the Nova was called "Oldsmonova" It was powered by the 455 Olds engine.
Had almost the same set-up as that only had the turbo 400 behind the 350.<br />Mine was pure stock and was consistent 12.90's to low 13's. Not fast, but dang near the same ever pass.<br /><br />Won stock class one year at Bristol with the car.<br />If anyone has been to an NHRA event and seen the stock class, that is quite a feat to do.Originally posted by Reel Poor:<br /> Oh yea Spinner <br /><br />How fast was the Carlo?<br /><br />I usta race (thru the mid 80s) a 67 Chevelle with a SB350-turbo350-4.56 gears. It would run low 12.00s at 119-121mph with slicks and torque tubes, and 12.20s with street tires and mufflers at about the same speed. My fastest pass in this car was 11.96. It was also my daily driver.<br /><br />Man I sure do miss that car.<br /><br />I wish I had the capability to post pics.
