Thanks guys, here's a link to the track photographer. https://www.flickr.com/photos/45097427@N02/albums/72157684913772175/page9 About half way down the page you can see the final round against the yellow Road Runner. I cut .003 light, and he ended up going red. It was also "king of the track" day, so at the bottom of the page you can see me run the super pro winner in a dragster. I was .021 on the tree to his .034 but I ended up breaking out by .008 |

What do you have for power in your Pacer..... ------------- Jim....AMCRC Treasure Valley AMC Club, Pres 69 AMX 401/727 74 GremlinX 401/727race only 73 Matador 2dr HT 360/727 |

It's a 360, 8.5:1 compression, Performer intake/600 double pumper, Comp 268 cam, homemade headers, 904 trans with manual v.b., and 3.31 gears in the original model 15. Best et was 13.68 earlier this year. The toughest part about those fast cars for me is judging the finish line when they're coming up 70-80 mph faster than me...I just have to dial honest, keep my foot in it and hope for the best |
