Bought a car at an auction sale a couple months ago

Postby Louich » Tue Aug 21, 2012 5:08 pm

We did some work on it since the engine in it had cracked due to the water being left in it and froze, so we put my 8:1 compression blower motor in it with some spray, since i had sold the blower, Ended up in the semi finals last weekend with it first time in an event and my 2nd time in the car. Heres a pic of it launching on a test pass.

first weekend out it ran 8.22@159

ya just never know what you might find at an auction sale. :)

Its a square tube chassis car, ladder bar in rear, 615 cube 8 to1 comp with a 250 shot, on bottle it did 1.15 60 foot. Actually made it to semi finals again on sat and carb farted on the line and stalled. Had worked flawless till then.
