3200 Coan.



I was running in the 12s. Lower than that woulda required one. It is a VERy nice track.

Also it was a Freaky Friday race(meaning street cars only like a Real Street drag kinda thing)

Yep it is daylight. Carries fronts about 15 feet every pass now. Launches flat too, does not pull right side higher.

Getting ready to put in bigger solid cam in place of .465 lift/230 dur. @ .050 hydraulic. Hoping to see more MPH and better ET. Currently every car running same MPH at track is two to six tenths slower in 1/8th mile.

I've seen that car run at PRP (Keystone). Car runs sweet! I've always meant to stop over and see what is under the hood. I'm damn happy to see it is a FI car!

Next time I'm at the track, I'll stop over and say hi.

Thanks Red87,
I was trying to find a larger pic of your car to recognize it.
I took the 82 out last night for test n tune for 3 passes before the rain came, I plan on being there this saturday, not sure which car though.
We need some more thirdgen representation there!
Anyway thanks for noticing my car, I look for you for now on.

I have not taken the IROC to PRP yet. Last summer, I had a white 75 TA with the big blue bird on it. After I get enough miles on the IROC motor, I plan on running it at PRP.

I agree, not enough 3rd gens at PRP at all!

I might go to Zelionople Saturday to see the Flashlight Drags...it is supposed to be a good time.

Hard not to notice that car running down the track, especially for a 3rd gen fan!
