5.57 in SS/BA

herbjr · 04-29-2010, 07:24 PM

Testing at Piedmont Dragway tonight a BA car went this fast the first time out. The car plans to be at Rockingham this weekend. Guess what make it is with a 9in tire.

Um, a CJ?

5.57 is pretty fast...especially on a 9" tire. Gotta be a CJ.

For comparison's sake, I went 5.62 @ 119 mph on an 8.96 @ 146 in 2004.

For a better comparison, PB Candies went 5.76 @ 122on a 8.98 152 pass. My guess is around 8.74 155.

Wait until someone back-halves one of those cars and they can 60' with the other combo's in the class. SCARY.

9 inch tire = Less spinning weight and these cars hook. Who knows but yes it is Roy driving Finches car.

Keep in mind....the 2010 super CJ has an aluminum block and is rated at 500 and runs in SS/BA....the 08 version isn't as fast....even backhalfed...
