Yep! The streetcar is heavier by 300-400 pounds, the engine is a 428, and it is just a small nitrous shot - about 165 hp. I only had it out one time in that configuration. It ran 10.80 at 129.31. The speed is high for two reasons: it is a stick shift; and in the old days the speed trap went past the finish line. Now it ends at the finish line.

Congrats Jim. Just curious what rear tires you are running and what is the weight of the car ?
We tried stiff wall slicks on our "Two tons of Fun" Catalina and found that the car shasshayed all over, especially at the big end. Went back to M/T ET Street radials to solve problem.

I am running 29x11 stiff wall Hoosiers. I haven't scaled the car in awhile, but race weight should be close to 3500 pounds. The car is typically quite stable, but it is exciting on marginal tracks.

Congrats, Jim! Are you going to be at March Meet, or is it too jammed up/crowded for you? I tend to go every year (as a spectator) on Friday. Saturday and Sunday are SUPER busy. It gets better/bigger each year, though.

Jim, you need to bring your car back for the March Meet. It would fit right into C/GAS
9.60 index. It would be nice to see you and have one more Pontiac. The track is always better for that event.
Congrats on new bests.

Bill.

Only on the streetcar. The racecar has a Powerlide with a 1.76 first gear and a 4.10 rear.

I've never even attended the new March meet. I don't like crowds that big.

The problem is that I am not licensed nor the car certified to run that quick. My guess is that they would be more stringent at that meet than they are at a test-n-tune.
