The other -1.200 run at Sportsnationals - Page 2

When I was racing my car a low 10.50 was about 125+ mph, was the mph slow for everybody at Columbus? Travis what was you mph at the 10.46? Tom

Tom, Since I am from Nebraska, I am going to chime in. As I recall, you race a 283.....Nebraska has no "sea level" tracks. Smaller cube engines kill MPH more than ET at altitude. 125 MPH should be around 10.35-40 at a sea level track. Correct me if I am wrong (it often happens....just ask my wife)....

290 cubic in 210 hp & 780 holly . give me a break should be 300 hp

5 HP greater than a '68 Z-28 302? Yea, I can tell you know allot about engines. Hey, 290's are a dime a dozen, jump right in!

And Lots of people still spend LOTS of money to "enjoy" the events knowing the changes and the politics will always be the things which upset 90% of the racers. The only thing which ties everyone is the fact they dream of being the lucky 10% next season when their motor gets aftermarket heads, a bigger cam, a 3 speed trans or they win the lottery and buy a Mustang..

The little lt-1 's have been increased from 275 hp to 346 hp over the years. Maybe they will give us a 100lb. Back. Right' biggg
