Re: Took the 39 to the drag strip
[QUOTE=Bored&Stroked;1923188]When I ran my '34 more-door Sedan as a 16 year old at the 'Antique Nationals', with a new 286 cube flathead (first flathead I built), I ran consistent 15.21s, 15.22s with a 4.11 rear. In retrospect, I guess that wasn't too bad of a time for a big-fat sedan on 3 carbs and a kid's first drag race . . .
