Drag strip pics

[Z_Ghost]

I did this for a few years until the Chrons disease got the better of me.







This got published in RPM magazine a few years ago.



I hope to be able to start doing this again someday, was fun being right next to the track.
Was right by the wall with Pro Mods, Outlaws, Alcohol funny cars and one time 2 Jet cars.

Wow. Awesome photos

 

[Z_Ghost]

Thank you.

I will look and see if I have any photos of my truck when I took it to the dragstrip...

 

[Z_Ghost]

Sad to say that all the cars and bikes that I ran down the tack I have no pictures of them.

Wow! You did all those? Nice job. I love the one that caught on fire. You captured that perfectly!!

My brother took a couple pictures the last time that I went to the dragstrip...

Thank you.
I have close to 300 GB worth of pictures just from the drag strip.

The truck was good for wheelies so when he launched and did not pull the front end up I just about lower the camera.
Then the truck went bang and it got really hot.
I think I got 6 total from that little nos backfire.

Nice, now post them up so I can see this rip snorting wheel standing hot rod.

I will try to find them. Since I was new at this I didn't think about running the right lane where my brother was closest too... I stayed in the left lane all night. The highlight was racing a Colorade Ss modded with the 5.3 and smoking him in 2 different ways...


Not bad for a 7000 lb truck eh?

 

[Z_Ghost]

Not bad at all.

 

[dietz4ibanez]

I think my best was a 8.6 in the 1/8th mile.. I might could get high 7's with 4 wheel...

 

[Z_Ghost]

That's not bad.
My 92 Z/28 would run in the 8 something in the 1/8 mile, my best run the the 1/4 was
60 '1.937 13.851 98.16 mph
All stock TPI with 80,000 miles on the car.

I love those older 3rd gen camaros

 

[Z_Ghost]

I do just need to find the time to fix the vibration that the B4C has.
All the guys in the club keep bugging me about it.

 

[dietz4ibanez]

So you currently own the car?

 

[Z_Ghost]

Yes I do.

ZZ4 superram retro fit T56.

 

[dietz4ibanez]

That's one good looking car! I think that I have a cam lying around that could possibly fit in that car! :naughty:

 

[Z_Ghost]

Thanks.

I have a few that will fit and 2 that would fit but not run with the FI system.
Shoot I think I have my old Duntov 30/30 cam some were.

I have always had my eye out for a 92 Z28 iroc-z (if you could even get those together) and put a LS1 in that joker.
