Cad-T-Bird at the track, YouTube September 20, 2009, 03:30:25 PM Here's a YouTube of the T-bird at the track. This one was at 12.739 @ 109.52 and a 1.794 60'. My best run was in the 12.2 range but the MPH was almost the same.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e45f9cXcMwStill trying to get it all right. Could not run the Nitrous because I did not have a Jacket. I did not know you had to have a Jacket for Nitrous? But now I do and one is on order for next week-end.TED Quote Selected

Cad-T-Bird at the track, YouTube Reply #4 – September 27, 2009, 02:29:28 PM Here's my best run of the night but it got me tech (no roll bar so my limit is 11.50). Last time I went I had a 150 hit and it was a real ride, spinning in all three gears. This time I tuned it to 100hp hit and I thought this would make me legal but when I got done I went faster. I think this was due to less tire spin. This run was 1.638 60' and 11.45 et @ 118.90mph.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTQ8UB733acMy main goal tonight was to check how tire pressure effected my 60' times. I started at 13 and went to 10 (10.5x28 ET drags) 11 was the lowest NA at 1.73 and when I went to 10 it went to 1.83This will be my last run for the year, need to get the house/yard ready for winter.TED Quote Selected

Cad-T-Bird at the track, YouTube Reply #8 – September 29, 2009, 11:34:24 AM Woo Hoo, nice run... One criticism, you need to train your camera person on use of the Zoom feature... But video quality is outstanding... Quote Selected
Cad-T-Bird at the track, YouTube Reply #9 – September 29, 2009, 11:14:17 PM I'm very please with the quality of the picture. It's only a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 digital camera and not a video camera. But one draw-back is that once you are recording the zoom will not work at the same time. So it's not my camera person's fault. I would have liked them a bit closer so I could of had a more level shot and actually see the tires in the air.Here's one of the engine running.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rulAGFNtaC8TED Quote Selected

In the video, looks like the Ford Dark blue that's getting hard to find...The local parts house. Don't tell me it's hard to find, it's the closest I can get to Cadillac Blue. I thought this color would be available forever?One of my favorite engine colors is early Ford Green like they used on Model A's or flatheads. This color is hard to find. But it is unique and I think it makes an engine stand out.TED Quote Selected
