Penwell drag races
« on: June 21, 2009, 03:09:56 pm »
Went to the drag races yesterday and found two awesome square bodies. The black one is running a 614 CI Dart block and the red one is running a 632CI dart. Both are runnig around 5.70-5.80s in the 1/8 mile.




They are regulars so I will try to get better pics later
Here's another one running.

Did you get them to join up here?  ;D
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

They were busy trying to get the black truck dialed in (new motor) I did tell them about it and will work on them as I can. I talked to the cheif mechanic/builder of the trucks breifly. Super nice guy. Will be talking to him again.

Matter of fact, it supposedly ran through a fence at the 1/8th mile track sometime back. Know em?
