If you're in town and want to watch a fun event then come on down! You gen 2 guys need to bring them beasts down here! I am sponsoring the bike class this year (first year of the bike class).

Awesome to see you as a sponsor!

Dammit, I totally missed this event and I was just sitting around the house wishing I had something fun to do.

 

[one2dmax]

You missed out! The fastest street car on the planet showed up! He ONLY went 7.45 @ 189 compared to his previous best at 6.80's @ 211.

Was a lot of fun anyway!

That is badass. I could really kick myself. I just got tickets to the T-Town Throwdown and I'm pretty excited about it, but just doesn't make up for missing this one.

Fastest in the US maybe. Was it a63' Vette or a Nova? There are a few 6 sec street cars out there (I like the vette the best, it is a sweet, twin snailed 600+ci beauty). But, in the UK, there is a guy claiming his Vauxhall runs 6.5 @220 and is licensed and street legal. The kicker is 0-60 in a sec. Talk about plant your ass in the seat acceleration :biglaugh:

The last part of the Vette video was sweet, just cruising down the street in a 6 sec car!!!:worthy::worthy:

Gthe six second nova was an 1/8th mile. Not that fast actually. This was in fact a 66 nova (I had thought it was a 67) owned and built by Larry Larson. It's been 6.80 @ 211.

He went on our cruise which was 60 miles (30 miles each way) with no problems at all. It is faster then the vette.

Thats the nova I was referring to, I posted the wrong vid. The competition last year, was the cars had to drive from racetrack to racetrack (about 1000 miles) then the low ET was crowned the victor.

Here is a more recent article on the Vette 6.75 on street legal tires.

I love the stance of this thing. not crazy about the paint. but, it's one evil looking car. :clapping:

I can't say anything bad about the Nova either, I really like the mild paint scheme. I wonder if I'm really good this year santa will leave me one.

I think we had an even better sleeper there. early 80's ldt 4 door. It was very quiet and didn't have anything unusual on it (no fancy wheels or slicks). It ran a best of 10.25 on walmart tires.
