I've had just about every car I've ever owned at the strip at least once - fun to see what they will run - have had the 66 to the strip quite a bit - it can get in your blood - always trying to go faster!!!

I did a couple races in college with my old 64 98. It ran 18s or somethin with a transmission that was slipping. I also drove Oldsguys 69 Delta 88 a time or two. It was running mid to low 15s with a mildly built engine. I look forward to running my 1971 98 this summer or fall once I get the rebuilt engine in and broken in. I will be happy if it runs mid to low 15s, and pleasantly surprised if it runs high 14s.

I go to the track few times a year, it's always a blast, especially if i don't break anything.

Wecloem to the site. Gotta love drag racing.

I race for points at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ. I used to race the Delta until some kid deceied that I didn't need that car anymore

Racing the Alero again. Nailing my dial-ins right on the money. Gotta work on my tree. This weekend was .021, .168, and first round -.080 red
