[QUOTE=X-TECH MAN;Have to admit the fastest pass I ever made was in a friends S/C car (rear engined dragster) that ran about 168 MPH but that was about 20 years ago. .[/QUOTE]

20 years ago (1991) there weren't to many 168 mph S/C cars.....and that included when they were wide open. Timers were not widely used yet........most people used plate stops or a bolt.........average S/C car went 155

Bracket dragsters were mostly 8 second cars and very few ran much better than 160....

So if you went 168 in 1991 in a dragster that was a pretty fast car for the era
