Well I use to drag snowmobiles before I was old enough to drive a car. My first thing I built was an s-10 with a 305 v-8 back in 1994 I had the 305 in it for a year or so then built a 350 the truck ran low 11's and I still have the thing. HAHA

Fox body Mustang, big motor, lots of spray. Ran right at 10 sec for a long time, then finally cracked into the nines. Damn near no money in the car.

I don't have any pics, but it was a 92 Prelude Si with 160000 miles on it. Swapped in a H22 put a 75 shot on it and ran 8.30 eight mile 13.3 @103 quarter. Those were the days, drive to the track, throw on some M/T's, run and drive home.

We had a project CRX drag car a couple years back.

Stripped out, cut up to all hell.

Have no idea how much it weighed, but it was:

- Stock internal B16A (No cams, nothing. Valve cover was never even taken off.)
- Y1 LSD transmission
- DC Sports header (4-2-1)
- IM and TB from '00 Civic Si (Because it was cleaner, y0! )
- Generic 2" intake pipe
- Zex 75-shot
- Slicks

Went 12.1 @ 112MPH!

That thing was fun.

- Derek
