My Duster bracket car on a *great* run at Norwalk would go 11.50's, 11.80's at Quaker City in the middle of the summer. One year at the $10K Footbrake at Maple Grove, we scraped ice off the windshield... -1700' below... 11.28! :eek: Similarly, in the eighth mile, it's typically a 7.30-7.40 car. A couple years ago in the fall, I put the radials on it at Roxboro and went 7.16... made a couple of adjustments and belted out a 7.09. (Even when bracket racing, there's still a little bit of Class racer in us!) My dad about fell out of his chair when I told him! LOL

COLD AIR DAY at Cecil this Weekend
 

Our ECIRS Series is having Cold Air Day at Cecil County dragway this weekend.

It will be the last race for the track this year.
All test and tune and you can get a lot of runs in.
Despite some of the suprise breakage and vehicle acrobatics.

Already ran there last month for bragging rights with our club.
Met the LT1, Pontiac and Mustang clubs doing the same thing.

ECIRS is doing it again with a few grudge races being planned.

My 95SS ran a best of 12.88 at 103.64 at full IHRA legal weight.
Depending on time of day the DA varied 800 to 1000 below sea level.

Greg, I bet you could do it on the Sunshine, but stopping at that beer joint at the bottom might be a problem. Maybe we should pioneer a jake break for drag racing. That is a Jacobs Engine Brake for the unwashed. That's a new term.

I got it figured out. First you use an 8" collector on the headers, and then the application to restrict the valves from opening (which is how an engine brake works), we could use the lifters out of a 5.7 hemi which is a lifter in a lifter. Then tie the MSD to the brake pedal, but a different switch than the two step. Now I just gotta see how you turn on the 'armed' switch for the Jake, and not 'arm' the other stuff. It should be as loud as a 500 Cummins with giant pipes and at a drag strip you would not need to worry about the 'No Engine Brake' signs that seem to appear more and more often. I'm not sure how NHRA might look at two switches on the pedal. I'll think about it.
