Ahhh, life is good. F-I-N-A-L-L-Y got my car to the track, spent several runs getting used to the car and just playing. Anyway, my best friend went down in his 68 Camaro with his Big Block 509, tubbed rear, etc.
Anyway, his days of talkin smack are officially over thanks to the good ole' blue oval.
We pull into the water box, with motors screaming the slicks finally begin to billow large amounts of smoke from the fenders. Good enough.
We both rev the motor to clean out the excess fuel getting ready for a "balls-to-the-walls" run no doubt.
We stage. I think to myself with a subtle grin "Alright, time to launch this S.O.B."
1st yellow, 2nd yellow, 3rd yel...
BLAM tranny brake is released with the gas pedal to the floor.
BOOM front tires lift from the ground, then gently settling back to the track.
60 ft, got a fender. 1/8th still pulling, approaching the 1/4 "bye bye buddy, guess who has the bragging rights!"

Mustang E.T. 9.98 @ 135 ALL MOTOR BABY!
My converter is way off and will need adjusting to maximize full potential. That and the 30+ headwind didn't help any. Who cares, I am in the 9's now! I will keep you all posted as this thing progresses.
