Front Engine Dragsters / Finally racing

« on: July 23, 2015, 02:03:10 PM »

Well after several trips to the track I finally found the problem that was turning the car off intermittently. My car is a 225" Spitzer with a 509 bbc. This is not my first Fed.  I was as soft as I could be, leaving at 3600 , shifting at 6800. It ran 3 - 8.11's at 165. Weather was horrible with 79% humidity , 89 degrees. In half good weather that would be easy 7.90. Went two rounds in S/P. I took to much stripe do to lack of seat time. All in all I had a big smile all day and had every spectator in my pit looking and taking pics. Still the most fun you can have with your pants on.

My name is Bill . Can't believe this site , it's great. Thanks to Wideopen for turning me on to it. Just got my 05 225" Spitzer fed Saturday. My last fed was a parks , which I loved . I traded a Undercover 4-link for the Spitzer . I got tired of just being another car in staging. All I can say is an FED is the most fun you can have with your pants on. Please I need help to post some pics.
