Hay them are SB Chevy's COOL :HMMM: :LOL:

I don't know about 13.2 on a paved 1/2 mile.....355, 9:1, 3500lbs...
Bristol is the fastest 1/2 mile I know of.....Track record 355ci, 12:1, 850 horses(approx) 3500lbs....CUP CARS.....128.709 mph (14.908 sec.)

Well, I've been around circle burnin' most all my life even made a lap or two on them.... Never have seen a 1/2 mile track that is that fast!!!! I'd like to check it out sometime or at least find out the banking, turn radius, etc....

Got to Love them 355 Chevy's :cool:

Nope, I don't got to love them sbc's.... But a track that has cars running at 136 mph lap averages the middle of the turn must be like running on a vertical wall, and the straights would have banking like the turns in Bristol!!!!

I would Love to take you for a ride in one of my Budget street car's :eek: :LOL:

Well, must say you didn't quite have me sold on the 13.2 laps for a 1/2 mile, that's for sure..... Huset's Speedway, one of our local 3/8 mile bull rings is notoriously fast..... It's dirt, and if memory serves me correctly, the World of Outlaw Sprints circle the place in something like the mid 11's!!!!! At the ripe old age of 17 I set fast time there one night in a modified, 15.4!!!! How times change, the 360 sprints are running faster now!!!! Huset's has been a race track since the 50's and has so much rubber mixed in with the racing surface now that by feature time the track will slick off, then about half way through the main there's enough rubber on the track that you tune the chassis as you would a pavement car!!!! And use up a $250 right rear tire every feature!!!!!

12.6 in the 1/4 mile ? That's not fast enough for Dave . He want at Least a 9 sec car . Stop playing around Denny . :LOL: :LOL:

The cars run are: NASCAR Grand Nationals, NASCAR Late Models, Winged women on wheels, Budweiser American Short Trackers, Coca-Cola Roadrunners, Bandoleros, Legends, National Figure 8 League, and the Hornets. This last summer, they also run the midgets.

All in fun Dave. Had to get you going....:LOL:

Heres some of the utubes, if you want to look. Some of the cars in the background, I know them, and help out also. I have meet and talked with pretty much all these guys. Good group over all. :)
