I trailered mine to a recent photo shoot for PHR (may 07, blue 67 Falcon) simply because I knew I was going to drag test first and didn't want to drive 10 hours on slicks Seriously though, I drive my 67 Falcon every day when the weather is good. Drag testing is one of the reasons I agreed to do the photo shoot in the first place. In fact I think it's one of the best parts of the mag. Johnny and his group know what interests guys like me. Good job JH!

Well, I'm a drag guy. If it doesn't have ET and MPH attached, I move on.

I had to shovel snow for mine. Johnny called me 3 days after we received 12" of snow and told me "NO SNOW". yeah it was only the end of December and it's Chicago! Thank goodness it was 55 the next 4 days and most of the snow melted.I would have been happy to put my TA on a trailer. That's the closest my TA has ever been to snow. It was well worth it. ![]() Thanks John

I trailer mine because the 18 mile trek to the track on slicks with 4.56 gears is not the hot ticket. And in summer here we get weeks of 100F+. BUT - it's set up to hot lap, so on Cruise Night I can put around the city on my old set of T/As without a problem. We get nice days in the winter and I'll drive it around our little town on a Saturday morning, slicks and all. You should see the odd looks at the gas station when I pump gas into the fuel cell.
Hey, jeeplvr3 - nice shoot, good to see a 67 in a major mag for once. Nice ride you have there.

I don't think I know anyone with a big enough garage, mine is most certainly not big enough

1 skid pad/drag strip 2 cones 3 braking Very important to people who may use results on thier next build! It may look impressive in pictures and on list of parts but getting down to it, "proof is in the pudding."Well be the closes thing to a comparison readers have besides word of mouth. Also, like see to suspension for example instead saying much better than stock say its better than this product in different catagories i.e.(street/drag, street/autocross, street/road racing, all round). How about tire test? Drag radials! Drag stirp test and street test. Line up the tire manfactures on sunday morning and light'n up and get see which one will get you home safely. my 2 cents but with a pocket full of pennies.
