Thanks Guy´s
Ive been involved in racing in manny ways here in Sweden, starting allready in the middle of -70´s :D Starting with gravel pit racing (ilegal we where just kids)

Then some ralley (our own cars)

Ice race (allso our own cars)

Then got hooked on US cars ( I got "dropped dead" in my Beemer in a street race )

so I started with a -67 Pontiac Firebird and was soon the "Hotshot" in my county, then started to do legal race

Ive been involved as a "wrenchbitch" in some fast cars in dragrace and Closed course, stil in the Bad A$$ Syclone team and soon to start my Nova 67ss, equipped with a 355 010/020 block 4 b main engine, Darts sportmen II heads and a Edelbrock RPM intake and Holley vac 780 cfm carb, super comp Hooker headers, a comp cams hydralic roller 12-432-8.. 10,3 in static comp.

A Th700r4 trans with a 3200 rpm stall lockup conv from precision industries

Rear is a homebuild 8½ 10bolt GM axle with strange axles, Eaton diff and richmond 3,73:1 gear
Intended tire is to bee Hoosier ET street 235x15x26
Chassie is stiffened with home made weld in frame conectors..

I also did run around town in a -72 Nova ss with BB and manual trans (M20) and a 4,56:1 rear 4 link and cage

I fill in with some memory lane pics

So its time for race again, summer and sunny and hot weather, Im not a shy man I weare red "shorts"

Nice vids, he must have a decent camera.

Running in the 8 range is pretty respectable.

Thanks :D ye that truck is amazingly easy to drive in the streets (we often do) to get to a lokation where we can try new settings BEFORE we can go to a track and fine tune the last bits

Manny dont even realise they have a "black lightning" beside them in traffic, and then at track its a beast in full control
