again because the guy hiding behind a screen name who registered soley to pursue his agenda says it can't be. Too funny. Somebody better tell Kevin Borgstom and Joe Abazzia who both went 1.29 60 foot in their B/SA Chevelles and at a slower ET if I remember correctly and with LESS power than my 468.
That said, the accusations from the internet experts and careet test/tuners is nothing new, you name it, they've said it, going back over 10 years ago and long before my ride ran a 10.07 and a 1.28 60 foot. Those that refuse to believe say it didn't weight 3880 lbs. it wasn't a 468, I was spraying it, the clocks were off, jersey math, yada, yada, yada and not 1 has ever seen it in person. Meanwhile numerous racers who know the car, who have actually seen it run and who competed with me weekly, as well my engine builder have stated online it was exactly as I have posted.
Now, unlike the rest of the drag racing forums on the net whose posters are largely career test/tuners, bench racers and dreamers, this group here, largely class racers, know that the peformance I had achieved with my Chevelle while impressive and on par with some of the best stockers back in 2007 is not only believeable, it's not all that difficult to do with a properly preppared car especially given my engine was not stock eliminator legal. This is what this guy fails to understand...the devil is in the details and my Chevelle while bracket raced was a built as if a stocker!
On that note, up untill 2007 when I retired the 468, my Chevelle ran quicker and faster than EVERY 454, 496, 502, GM's 720HP 572 and most 540's in a similar Chevelle here in Division 1 brackets!
Now, many of the same group that have doubted the combo and performance of my Chevelle, also doubt the combo and performance of my current ride that has 60 footed 1.17 off the footbrake!
Truth me told, today 5 years later, I could have the same car/combo at the same weight running new best numbers at least 2 tenths quicker and maybe even run a 1.27 60 foot.
Thanks to those that have sent me PMs and my appologies to Ken for the direction this thread has gone.
