Come join P29steve and I wednesday night at Cecil County Dragway for Boater's night off.

P29steve and I will be joining a new Speedwake member who owns a Quad that runs the 1/4 mile in about 9.2 seconds. I may load the Ducati in the truck and bring it over too....

for a little red neck action!

:)

I hear that! I'm assuming(and hoping) there is a full clutch cover for it. Preferably reinforced with kevlar!

Wow, some very cool hardware.

I can't believe you run that quad with no clutch gard.
years back we had a prostock sled that we ran on the ashpalt and a belt let go and even with the gard it tore a bunch of stuff up.

Man, seeing that Camaro really makes me miss having a drag car. Although the street racer in me prefers very fast small tire cars.
One of my friends customers has a 90's notchback Stang with SBF, single turbo, glide, STOCK rear suspension and a drag radial. I've seen that car go 7:80's and not really leaning on it. The last time at the track he was leaning on it and it stood up on the bumper at mid track.
The car i did fall in love with is another one of his customers cars. It is a late (last?) model Camaro called "orange crush". It's got a ladder bar, "w" tire and a twin turboed SBC, and I've seen him run 3 200+ mph passes in a row. The car doesnt even have a hood scoop, it almost looks like a stock street car.

Turbos seem to be the way to go in a car nowadays.
