New guy from Kansas with an old FED
« on: February 05, 2013, 01:14:03 PM »
Hi! Mike Buchanan here from Goddard Ks. I own an old mid sixties Top Fuel car buildt by Jim Davis. I currently race with the Southwest Jr. Fuel Association, www.swjfa.com it is a heads up all front engine dragster association. We race in Texas and Oklahoma about 6-7 times a year. My best time so far is 7.67 at 171.4 mph. We do have several cars that are routinely faster than that, the quickest time posted this past seasom was a 7.18! by one of our other members. Our first race this year is in Evadale TX March 30th. Our schedule and driver profiles and rules are on our website.
