Default Another noob checking in

My name is Brent, and I currently live in Ellensburg, WA. I am mainly into trucks (I go wheeling a lot), but my dad and I also have a '67 Camaro that I drag race. Right now it is set-up with a SB 350, 10.5:1 compression, electric fan/water pump, stainless radiator, and the alternator is removed. It sits on 29.5x11.5 street legal slicks and it has cal-trac bars for the rear. Body mods just include removing the inner fender wells, and it has a 4" cowl induction fiberglass hood. It has a full carpet interior and a 4-point roll bar, and is still sporting the stock driver's seat. It's current fastest E/T in the 1/4 mile is 11.84 at 112mph. My dad and his buddy also own a '77 Camaro that runs in the mid to low 11's. Here's a video of us drag racing....

For some reason, this is the only picture I have on my laptop. I will try and get my dad to send me more, since the car is at his house which is 3 hours away (I'm away at college).

Thanks. The '67 is running the street legal slicks, and the '77 is running slicks.

When we started racing the '67 it was running 12.6's-12.8's.

My dad's '77 is consistently turning about 11.44. He is just running a SB 350, 14:1 compression. However, there isn't much left of the car...it is pretty stripped.

I only have a couple more videos from racing.
