Always great to see some flathead dragsters! I've been threatening myself to build one for years . . . just too many other damn projects.

Thank you for posting. That thing hauls butt. What did you turn for time & speed ? Have several friends with flathead dragsters.

Is that a 1/4 mile speed? It appears to be - given how long the run was. If you're running low 9's, that is fantastic!

Ron ,that was a good day ,on those runs mostly in the mid 9.5 at 138 mph
Yes, thats for the 1/4
We are just starting to build a new c/molly chassis to get hopefully 200lbs off it,that plus another 10lbs boost will hopefully get us into the 10.s
