The old street racing video is awesome, but gawd do those old tanks look slow lol! Reminds me of all the stories I hear from the older guys at work. The older they get, the faster they were! Cool to see the cops just sitting back and watching the action.

That is a cool video. I think the cops were just watching as no one ever broke the speed limit. LOL

The black Cop car has either been saved or reproduced.. I have seen a car like that in Wrencher's in Novi MI 5-6 years ago.

My junk on the dyno last weekend. Stock motor straight out of the junkyard, even has the original spark plugs. Got a buddy deal on the turbo stuff and bam, 535 horsepower to the tire on the low boost pump gas setting.

Actually doing work and posting it's properly measured results, doesn't cut it in the AMC world, or Mopar either, buddy. It's all about lawn chair/internet fantasies. lol

That Jeep sounds like it's ready for liftoff!

Let's be honest, it's not just an AMC or Chrysler thing, the majority of every brand is that way. Got some more numbers yesterday too. Went 11.14 @ 125.5 on a soft launch, not too bad for 3990 lbs and sweet aerodynamics. Got more aggressive on the launch later in the day with good results but 2nd and 3rd gear syncros quit playing nice so I had to granny shift it. Oh yeah, and I drove it there and back the long way to hang out with some friends.

Secret squirrel spy shot from US131 today (4/15/17) though the owner was nowhere to be found for the 2 hours I visited.

Gah! That's what I get for parking and walking away. Got there, made 2 passes, decided it wasn't going 10s in that air, and spectated for the rest of the day. I was the scrawny guy with the beard hanging out in the staging lanes and at the starting line. Were you there with a car?

The GF and I just ran up to watch and check out the track. I've never ran there, but Milan is forcing me to look elsewhere. Too bad Martin has no heads up program, but I'll definitely be back! Sorry I missed seeing the Jeep run, I was looking forward to watching once I saw it in the pits!
