John.  Sounds like you had an excellent day at the track.  At least you waited until the temperatures warmed up.  I had my roadster at North Star Dragway earlier this year and with a 20°F chill factor, it was not as much fun as it could have been.  And took awhile to get heat into the engine to boot.

Congrats on making it to the final.

That one I bought for $500 with two blown head gaskets. I built the engine mostly stock (TQ-20 Erson cam) with a single Motorcraft four barrel. Then I found a factory Ford six pack off a 406 at the swapmeet for $150 complete with linkage and air cleaner. I ran the piss out of it for three years then sold it for $1600 to put down on an HD Sportster. I wish I would have kept the car.

Gee Tim,

We must have been friends in another life! I bought a 66 GTA convertible new on returning from a tour in England. Was the Hi-Po version 390. I changed the rearend to 4:11's and added some bolt on traction bars. Boy was that another fun car that should have been a keeper. Thats what I traded for the Cobra I mentioned before. Been mostly a Ford guy for a long, loong, looong time! Chuck in NH

Even My old stock '66 GTA Fairlane ran low 14s and it was a bit of a POS when I had it.

it was a fun car though.

My 69 Fairlane Cobra turned 13's off the lot! Eventually with slicks and tuning saw a 12.2 108mph quarter. This model of Fairlane was once known as the fastest production car of its time!

One of my memories was lining up against "Lanes Olds", A dealer, factory racer from Alexandria, Virginia. All pretty paint, with sponsor decals all over, big tires etc. Left him in first and never saw him again! He claimed to have missed a gear but nobody heard it AND he wouldn't run me again! I think that tells it all.

428 SCJ, top loader 4 speed, 4:30 Detroit locker rear end. ALL from the factory. Not to mention acid dipped fenders, hood, trunk and doors and an absence of padding and sealer on the body. I was told it was ordered for the dealership so the owners son could go racing but he and dad had a falling out! I bought it right off the lot! Never should have let that one go! Ask me about the time I spent in Germany with the Cobra! Talk about blowing Conrad's (GI nickname for Germans) mind! What a blast!

Now if I could just get "MoonShadow" to run like that! Chuck in NH
