Thread: another first 9 sec pass/stock suspension 69

Jeff, nice pics, very cool cougar. That is first time I've seen your cougar, My dad has been racing our cougar since 1975 at area tracks. I remember racing at Maguire's Air Force base in NJ back in the 80's, but I am too young to remember Vargo,Hatfield, or Vineland. I've been trying to get to the Vargo reunion, but race rain dates keep me from getting there.

Hey congrats, you (and others here) are sure doing a lot with stock suspension Cougars and modest sized engines. This weekend was such nice weather. I noticed you were at Atco. Do you ever go to Maple Grove and Cecil County? If you do, do you ever notice a difference between how your car runs at both tracks? For me, my naturally aspirated drag car always runs about a tenth and a half quicker and a few mph faster at Cecil County compared to...

I guess I need to update my sig. a little. The combo now is a 454W with the same heads and intake. But instead of carbed it is now Methanol injected. But the intake is not ported. I will give more details later.

Jeff - You got any pics of that funny car? It would be neat to see!

Ok, that's impressive! Is that NA or with nitrous?

Hey Man, very nice. I am happy for you, you made it. Good feeling uh? Your ol Wheezer is a haulin. I was hoping it would only high 9's, but ya got me Ray .
