Default any off yall own drag cars?

just wanted to see if there was any all out drag cars in the area.
we have a 67 camaro,frontend lengthened 12 inches,everything is fiberglass but the roof skin, chassis built by PBRC.
the driveline consist of a 592 CI BB backed by a powerglide and dana 60 with 5.13 gears.
its best time was a 5.42 @ 130 MPH , with a 60 ft time of 1.27
thats cooking in the 1/8. no boost and no juice, just a 1350 dominater carb that looks like it will enhale your arm lol.

Nah but at this point that looks like what the Slowbra will be if I keep going.

65 Corvette

808" Rodeck/Big Chief
Lenco
Dana 60/4:88
Split dominators
tube chassis (moly)
6.41@ 172 (1/4mi) 1.31 60ft (<first year out so those #s will improve when it gets dialed in and we figure out the chassis).

The big motor is coming out this winter in favor of a short stroke big bore motor with some boost once the chassis is dialed in .

Well it isnt mine, But when i was in the states i was the Beerrunner/Hoodremovaltech/Batterychargerinstaller/and Driveroftherigaftereveryoneisintoxicated. :-)

I also helped as much as possible while in the garage, here is what i know

1967 Camaro
540ci Block
Big Cheif Heads
Powergilde
Mini-Tub in the rear for 10.5 Cheater Slicks
12 Bolt rear with 5.4somthing gears
450 Total Shot of nitrous
and im sure there is alot i missed, Like i said not MINE, but i helped as much as possible so that i could learn.

The car use to run Street Boss religously in 2002-2003 after that we built the Monster Truck SHOCK n AWE, if any of you are into that im sure you have seen it, Rear Engine S-10 on a fullsize frame 44's grave digger transfer case blah blah blah.

I think the best pass the camaro made in the 1/8 was like a 5.38@137 but memory may own me.

These aren't mine either but I helped as much as I could
My roommates car:
1972 Camaro
355ci Small Block w/177 Blower 850 carb (I think)
TH400 Trans w/ B&M shifter
8pt roll cage with gutted interior
Fuel cell
10 bolt rear with disc brakes and I think 4:11 gears
The best he ran was 7.14 in the 8th at Piedmont but that was with a 142 blower and a bs bottom end

Other buddies car:
1964 Impala
454ci Big Block w/8-71
Roll cage and Full tub w/ Ford 9 inch
Powerglide trans

fuel cell
It does run but the body work isn't finished enough to run it yet

Not done yet but a Mazda RX-7 with a SBC 350 and a 250 shot. Hell of a sleeper except for the sound. Geared for the 1/8, this domestic powered import could lay down some low 6's at Natural Bridge next year.
