Dude if I was your neighbour I would only be pissed if I wasnt allowed to have a few revs every so often lol

[staffy58]

cool dave ,very cool

[darwinschevelles]

What class do you run in? What kind of times and speeds do you run?

[murphy91]

I've only had the car out a couple of times with just 3 half track passes on it...My job prevents me from racing at this time. Hopefully I'll be able to freshen it up and put some full runs on it in 2009. With the limited track time, according to the incremental numbers, I think it will run mid

8's @ 160mph. Thanks for asking!

[aussiedrifter93]

I bet your neighbours love you. haha

[murphy91]

Luckily, they have a sense of humor....

i would PAY to move next to somebody that does this at 1 am.

thats just how i am i guess :D

sweet ride BTW. gotta love butterflys :D

[murphy91]

Thanks !!!....I'm hoping to drag it out later this year...

[louswire]

I wish they'd bring back Jr fuel... those things were just bunches of fun...

Nice little hot rod ya got there!

[murphy91]

Thank You....I wish I had more time to run the car. Great idea...I'd like to see a Jr Fuel circuit for guys like me who hate computers.

[69moparman]

Gotta love those zoomies!!!

[murphy91]

Thanks....I get some grief from bracket racers who tell me the "I need to have collector headers to go fast" I just like the sound them...who cares if I am losing 2/100's of a second? As rarely as I get the car out, it really doesnt matter.

[69moparman]

Yea a dragster front engine or rear is just NOT a real down to earth "Dragster" if you don't have those "Zoomies" barking at you! Sweet ride KEEP it that WAY!!!!

[murphy91]

Amen!...zoomies rule!...Thanks for the comment & the compliment.

[69moparman]

Man if you EVER decide to put a little "POP" in the tank LET ME KNOW! Nothing like a A/Fuel digger!

[69moparman]

NHRA AND IHRA should make it a class rule! YOU HAVE TO RUN "ZOOMIES" EVERYONE WOULD BE EQUAL, THEN WHAT DIFFRENCE WOULD IT MAKE?

[murphy91]

Thank You !..The Nitro classes typically need that kind of service and can be turned around in in hour or so. My car runs a lower class and should last a lot longer. Unfortunately, I only get out a couple times per year. At that rate my engine should last until I reach retirement age.

[dragracer89]

thats one mean some biatch

[murphy91]

Thank You for the kind comments...As to your question, No...The driving isnt really difficult, but the acceleration is pretty amazing....It still takes me by surprise....The most difficult part is all the time required to prepare the car for each time we race.

[webber2004]

how fast have you gone in it

[murphy91]

I have only had it out twice. I have only made 3 half track passes. I havent driven a dragster in 26 years, so I'm taken it a bit slow. Unfortunately my work schedule prevents me for going out more than a couple times a year.

I love the sound of that engine roar! Cool metallic blue color too. Is it hard to race a dragster?
