    1/4 Mile 250r run aganist 1968 Chevelle

    This was a run at the end of July at the Arm Drop Race, my motor got hot waiting for the guy in the chevelle, i must have sat there waiting for atleast 2 mins, and the puma likes to be cold. it ran 13.1 on that run.... but its still a cool video

    I can't tell for sure... Looks like you got him. Did ya??

    He probably knew your motor would get hot. They don't like to run too long without some airflow through the rads!

    what gearing do you use to make that beast pull hard through the 1/4 mile.

    seems like a long run for a three wheeler

    That is a cool vid, but if I'm the guy in the Chevelle and my tubbed/huge by large cowl hooded race looking car only ran high 12's low 13's, I would drive it off a cliff. Seems like that guy needs to spend more of his money on making it go fast instead of making it look fast.

I would love ot see more vids of your trike goin down the track and other trikes if there are others that run there AWESOME!

    Better have quite the muscle car to whoop on our cars LOL. Our group of friends has quite the stable..2 of them went 9's last year in 100% street cars..LOL. My car is slow compared to theirs..My STI goes bottom 11's in the mid 120s on pump gas and street tires.

    Yeah turbo's and AWD is really hard to beat these days, especially on the street. The days of having a warmed over big block or stout small block in your '69 Camaro and owning the streets are over. When they are pumping out high 11 and low 12 cars off the showroom floor, you better bring a bigger in that muscle car.

    8 cyls still gets it done...I don't see too many 4-bangers running funnies and top fuel in NHRA...... It all really boils down to who has the deeper wallet. I dare say those new Camaro's haul the mail pretty good....
