Rank: Racing Permit		#26 Posted : Tuesday, October 4, 2016 3:40:05 PM(UTC) Finally managed a clean lap in dragging 70 corvette tune lap 5 had a time of 58:352 pushed it too hard on the last 3 laps of the replay and broke a tie rod or something.

Rank: A-Class Racing License		#28 Posted : Tuesday, October 4, 2016 4:23:15 PM(UTC) 1960 Chevrolet Corvette (325hp): 57.622 ...had higher hopes for this one (probably, just me drivin') -- which reminds me -- Which car was it that you were hoping was going to "show" well, Kool? Edited by user Thursday, October 6, 2016 4:17:50 PM(UTC) \| Reason: updated hp & time

I was really hoping the 69 Nova was my sweetheart - my favorite muscle on the game 💕 I have tried a few more and will be posting soon - one of em oh so close to my 69 Firebird time 😉

I was really hoping the 69 Nova was my sweetheart - my favorite muscle on the game 💕 I have tried a few more and will be posting soon - one of em oh so close to my 69 Firebird time 😉 I had a '68 Nova for a short time... back in the early 80's - It was a real barn fine, seriously... out of a barn! ...had to tow it home ;^) And it was an odd one too... a stock four, yes 4 cylinder! ...teenage me painted over the olive green for fire engine red, pulled that four cylinder for a 350 V8! ...then, promptly, sold it. LOL

Rank: D-Class Racing License		#32 Posted : Thursday, October 6, 2016 9:10:16 PM(UTC) 1:03.689 (lap 8) replay on SF photos tomorrow my B Grade jalopy isn't going to win the race (even with a much better driver) but it's good practice driving a car that's a real handful once in awhile. Skinny street tires 375 bhp B500 93 Mustang engine, supercharged no aero no bumpers no cage no helmet no brains

Rank: A-Class Racing License		#33 Posted : Friday, October 7, 2016 2:02:23 AM(UTC) So I loaded a build for an under-dog under-appreciated under-rated car that will undoubtedly knock the 70 Vette off .......... the 70 Buick GSX I ran a 56.733 have replay ..... a few too many laps than I want to load but it's without a doubt a high 56.5 to a very low 56.6 car for this challenge ...... some fresh hands would get that tiny extra push ....... feel free to try it out ..... you only need 3rd gear on the straight ....... But officer, I was going too fast to read the speed limit sign

Rank: D-Class Racing License		#36 Posted : Friday, October 7, 2016 5:32:13 AM(UTC) While in Japan I ran into a fellow from Grackle Hill, Ohio who is a master dragracer and a wizard with a wrench. Here's The Widowmaker as it looked when I made my first attempt: Now the car has bumpers and a roll cage, 247 bhp, B499. The new replay is up on the SF. My entry for the record: 1:01.773 on lap 7. Thanks for the tuning help (and the parts car) goes to Dragginslayer01

Rank: A-Class Racing License		#38 Posted : Friday, October 7, 2016 6:57:08 AM(UTC) Well, me, in Driggin's, 360hp Buick = 57.630 ...in his '70 375hp Corvette = 57.256 (my current pb) IMHO the Buick needs a bit more psi in the tires ;^) Both "Five Star" though!

Rank: R-Class Racing License		#39 Posted : Friday, October 7, 2016 10:04:35 AM(UTC) Oh so close... 66 Nova - 57.485 - 350 hp 68 Barracuda - 57.915 - 352 hp 70 GSX - DRAGGIN build - 57.678 - 360 hp 69 Camaro - 57.504 - 290 hp

But officer, I was going too fast to read the speed limit sign

Rank: A-Class Racing License		#43 Posted : Friday, October 7, 2016 1:49:44 PM(UTC) 1970 Buick GSX (360hp): 57.363 after a bit of tunin' and fiddlin'... ...still have not caught the ghost of myself in Draggins' C3!
