to the best of my knowledge a new record for stock suspension lt1 came friday november 26th @ carolina dragway as chris tuten pulled a 1.245 60' in john mikes '96 t/a. car weighs in at 3500# w/driver and has stock suspension with adj. shocks and aftermarket tq arm. probably the most impressive thing was that the temp was near 30 degrees and ice was forming on the tops of cars. most cars couldn't even make it down the track that night and we actually had one try and go over the wall trying (pictures on carolinas website). congrats to the team at BMF racing.

 

Tuten is a driver!!!

 

not just any driver, 2003 NMRA REAL STREET champion

 

Congrats. What does your car run in the 1/4 tubby? I would like to go with a Procharger in the near future. Later Clint

 

I thought Mike Brown's black Formula went 1.18 @ Thunder Shootout?

 

not sure if it was .18 but i know for a fact it went teens

 

Mike Browns/Steve Turley's best 60 was 1.18 in the 96 formula, but it was stuffed with a ls1. What catagory do they fit in? lol. They also broke a rossler 400 turbo input shaft on that launch too.

400 turbo, midwest convertor, moser 9 inch, BMR LCA/PHB/drag sway bar/torque arm,and Wolfe wheelie bars is as much as i know.

 

I think the claim Tubby is making is for a stock suspension lt1

Regardless whether it's an LT1 or LS1, a 1.24 60' is still impressive

 

Don't mean to rain on anyones parade, but the timers are not allways accurate. Thats why records have to be "backed up" before they become official.

 

i was going off of stock suspension lt-1. also i will say this claim isn't as credible as i would like. the only person i could verify with was joe overton. so if someone has a quicker 60 please chime in.

 

Doh, missed the LT1 part.

 

one thing is missing here........the ET. isnt that the important number?

 

Depends on what record you're shooting for, right?
I know the car is fast, i would guess in the single digits on a clean pass. I do not know the condition of the track past 60' on this particular night but from what I have read, it was a bit icy....

 

i did not post the ET due to the fact it's a grudge car and i didn't have permission to post those numbers. also i am aware that numbers should be backed up but first off this isn't exactly something your going to find in any NHRA or IHRA record book. it's just T&T night at jackson. second, it was the last night for the track season.

 

Like I said...
