That's more 1/8th mile MPH than Jeff Kauffman's 5 second pass, if anybody is counting. 😜
It would be nice to see a slip of Big Chief's run.

Kauffman's run was skating down the track.
60' time was bad, not far from mine, and I run 8's

Cant go by different day, different strip, different weather conditions WAY too many variables and chief "tips the can" with his alky.......jeffs car is set up to run the 1/4........not the 1/8!

I am not the one slamming everyone and how fast they go, you just called Chief out if he adds 700 lbs. He will take all of your retirement money.Beleeeeeeedaattttt! Don't write a check that your car can't cash.

Are you on drugs? I have never slammed Chief or anyone on how quick a person has run ....show me where I said it? he's a Blue Collar Racer like me.....hard working and spends what he can to go quick while doing it safely. I dont race for money......stupidest thing Ive heard of.....never have, too many unknowns BUT I've never back down from any race....if he wants to come to Norwalk add 700 lbs to his car and run only 11 lbs of boost while NOT "tipping the can" and run 1/4 mile......sure ill do it! Ill run anyone at 3,200 lbs and only 11 lbs of boost. Im pretty sure he has better things to do! LOL!
By the way do you race or just play on the internet and wish?

I street race George, which you frown upon. The closest track to me is 3.5 hrs away. Plus I do not have a cage in it, it's a real street car with cup holders and all. I drive it everywhere and I think it runs real well for a 4000lb car (with me in it) I plan on getting thrown of a track this month.
I am not the one running on and on about heads and how fast everyone should go if they had better heads. There are a few guys coming out that might prove your theory, but then it might come to how good there suspension is.

Hell you got KRE hp, turn it up. Oh yeah I forgot your a bracket racer and are happy running the same number every year.

Well glad Big Chief saw some 1.02 60 ft times in testing.

The car has been there for years or even quicker.

Why don't you remove weight, change your pulley ratio, and run him heads up?

Why don't I remove weight.........GOOD question........my car is a TRUE STEEL bodied car, I think it still has some undercoating on the body. LOL! The Chassis on my car is over 30 years old (Mild Steel). Its got so many BIG heavy bars in it that I could probably make another chassis out or it. LOL! All the add on bars (per NHRA) are chrome moly but the guy never took any bars out just added on! Like I've said with me in it 3,200 lbs., its all I can afford! Changing pulleys.......... the BEST my blower ever put out was 20 lbs.........still a long way from 40-50 lbs of boost. So it is what it is a Quick, Heavy, Bracket Pontiac car!

Last time I tried a little Nitro Additive I melted a piston and my steel factory head.....A VERY long time ago! Lesson learned! NEVER said I needed a BIGGER supercharger just a more efficient supercharger.
Actually at Milan last year (September.......Nostolgia Nationals) I probably could have ran a 7 but my trans was slipping real bad (took my trans in the shop to be repaired). I was still running 5 teens in the 1/8 mile witch is 8.0's in the 1/4 mile for my car. In 70 degree weather (not 40-50 degree) and only 11 lbs of boost.

Just a side note.........I think that Chiefs race car is FANTASTIC and one FAST Bit_h, I BRAG about it all the time to my Chevy and Ford buddys....I also BRAG about Kinslers car, The Boss Bird, Butlers car, KRE's cars, Tin indians car, Leeches car, Scott Rexs car, Dick Fultons car, Roger Ibbotsons car....and the list goes on and on! I'm a Pontiac Guy I love ALL (well MOST) of the Pontiac race cars, I WILL always be a Pontiac guy! PONTIAC RULES!!
