On the "run what you brung" nights at the track, if you state that you have never run the 1/4 mile and you think your car will do "about a 12.5" they will let you race. This happened to me at the Sacramento Raceway about 20 years ago. I had a blown 427 side oiler Ford in my '55 Ford and they did ask what I thought it would do. While waiting to run a friend appeared and asked if I really wanted to know what my car could run, as he had slicks mounted on wheels with my bolt pattern. The slicks brought out the best of my old shoe box and I was given a list of what would be needed to be done to my car if I ever wanted to run again. The safety items are broken down into brackets of et run. I won't say what I ran unless I can find that timing slip for proof, but since I'm new to cars that have our power to weight ratio, HAS ANYONE RUN THE 1/4 AND WHAT WERE THE RESULTS? It is hard for me to gauge from that run over 20 years ago, but I think my Track-T is faster.
