Just class 4 license.  I believe that is 7.50-9.99.  Hoping the car will run 8.30's or somewhere half close to that.  My dad said the fastest he ever went was a 9.01 and he always wanted to run in the 8's. 

Coolest part of the entire day was watching my Mom on mother's day back my dad up.  I could almost turn the clock back and imagine what it was like back when they were first dating.  Really special day for my family...

one more pic, you can see my mom in the pink sweatshirt standing behind my dad when he made the very first pass in the car.

Great story, keep us updated.

I feel the carb and headers on the car at the moment is just fine seeing you are at the track. You will get what you want on the car when you can just like a majority of us have had to do as well.
Good Job getting there,

Enjoy it.  Make your small changes as you go. It looks very cool.

Congratulations... nice story... good luck and keep us posted!

I liked the "...straight as an arrow...". My car was handful on my first pass, perhaps straight as a boomerang on crosswinds (no, NOT related to Rooman!).
