Just keep the same amount of stuff on the right
as there is on the left. Seeing straight ahead is highly overrated....

First pass RT .154, 1.36 60', 3.85 330', 6.08 660', 110.4 mph.
VERY late shift, I kinda "forgot" to do it, rusty driver and sensory overload, I guess...
Second pass RT .196, 1.36 60', 3.89 330', 5.99 660', 117.6 mph.

John – enjoyed seeing your videos. Late shift after a 7 year sabbatical, that’s allowed, it’s in the permanent unwritten rules, Drag Racing 101. Alan

Man I should have filmed my first runs in fed. First time in the seat since 1998. Lots of wrench turning in meantime just not in seat.
Nice job.

Glad he liked it! Mine is the only FED I've ever seen at HMP; when are you bringing yours to run?
Here's Tickle's video of our last (second) time out, My friend Bryant's Bantam roadster and my car are at the beginning, at 10:20, and at 18:45 in the video.

Last time out, second pass, 7/4/21. Car hikes the wheels and heads for the wall. More front weight on the way...

I'm building a motor for it right now.
But worth the old motor it ran 4.71 at Baytown. I'm a little scared to go fast at hmp. That shutdown is short.
