My wife took a series of pictures of the first run together.I have another camera SD card to go thru but here is what I have so far. You can see Ted won this race. This is the one he said he red lighted on. I don't care which one of us won,it was just damn cool to be doing what we were doing!

I forgot what engine is in the Yellow '61? 105 MPH in 13.34 ain't too shabby!

Looks like that old Paxton was good for the extra 4 Mph it took to get around the yellow car.

Rich, it is a mostly stock rebuild 400 CI small block Chevy with a 142 Weiand supercharger,700cfm Holley.TH350 trans and a flanged model 44 331 Twin Trac.

My best run of the weekend was Sunday with a 12.97 @ 105.53. A terrible 60 ft. time of 2.003,but the reaction time was .053

Sweet. I'm sitting at the office pounding out contracts and I needed a diversion. I can almost hear them

Is the 'Tomato' running full wheelcovers? Or does it just look that way in the picture?

Yes, it has full 1962 model-year wheel covers. Ted likes them because they have red centers to match the red color of the car, as opposed to the white-trimmed 1963 wheel covers. BP
