Good things come to those that wait and wait and wait.

I'm glad the SS is going to publish it!

Sub-2 second 60 ft. times in something that big is a pretty good feat, especially considering the tires.  Nice work! 

MS-109 is what we run in our C Prepared Firebird.  It smells marvelous!!   ;D

Before I upgraded the motor a bit I had less bottom end power and was able to hook up. 60 foot times were around 1.9 sec.

As an semi reformed drag racer, I'm impressed.
You should have offered a trip to the drag strip as a evening excursion during the GN. Does doing a short burn out help the launch at all.  I'm guessing you are using DOT tires, rather than slicks? How big a tire will that wheel wheel hold.

Currently using Mickey Thompson 2.85-60 10.5 inch tires. Got a choice for bigger. Either cut the fenders or a $3000.00 “tub” job. Right now I have about 1 inch clear to the frame or the fender.

I'm glad "kids" are still having fun at the drag strip.   Runwhatyabrung, ET brackets are made for this.
