Project 240SS as it is bieng called, first ran a 14.3117 @ 77.34 MPH, but w/ a 1.99 60' and 8.8438 1/8th. Lots of problems on run here is the story

Friday night I drove from Austin to RCR to find out what the 240 runs.

Well, the trip didn't start off so good. Traffic in Austin on I-35 is a *****! My electrical fans shut off unexpectedly in traffic, and the heat shot up to 265°
2 hours later after chasing down the electrical short in the fans to a connection under the dash that had come loose and refilling the then empty radiator (it overflowed like a mofo and melted the bottom out of the plastic overflow tank) we were back on the road to RCR.

It was cold, and we were all hoping for good numbers from our cars.

Get to RCR, change to the ET Streets, and go watch a few runs while the car cools down. When we get back to the car there is a small puddle of dexcool under my car towards the back of the motor. Not sure if it was from mine or not, I started the car up and it seemed to run ok.

Did my burnout and pulled up to the tree. Everything is looking good, and the car seems to be running great. Tight turns green and the ccar squats HARD and leaves with a 1.99 60'.
Shift into 2nd at 5400 and all looks good. The car is pulling hard, and just keeps pulling.
Cross the 1/8th and bang into 3rd. That's when it got bad. Apparantly there was a light misting of water on the big end of the track, and my slicks broke loose. The rear end walked back and forth and I let off the gas.
Nice 1/8th pass, but still no clue about a correct 1/4 time.

Time slip:


Later on was fixed and ran a 13.7
