[Tigers] Drag racing Tigers

[Tony Somebody]

List- Over the last couple of years a close friend and the person who sprays paint for me, painted an 89 or so Mustang that his son was building a 351 stroker engine for. So late last year and last night I rode along to see how the car ran. We attended the multi race trac in St.Louis, where Tim (the owner/driver) makes his home. Its a 1/4 mile track and there where several pretty fast cars, including four or five running in the 8s at 155 mph.Last night was considered a tune night and anyone could run what trailered or drove in for a small $10 fee. Of course it made me want a stroker engine even more than ever but just seeing what kind of times I would get made me start thinking what I would have to do to get my Tiger track ready.
Tim did make three runs, all in the 10 second plus range and he didnt have the nitrous bottle in the car. He has done better but thats not what this is about. My question is to all the owners who do have stroker engines, some running nitrous, others just tons of horsepower. Im curious to know IF we have any members who would tell us what kind of times they have turned at their local track or any track for that matter. What engine size (stroked, etc) they are running and with or without nitrous. I know we have some owners that have some extremely fast Tigers and Im hoping they will share what the numbers are, mph etc etc and any other interesting information they would be kind enough to share with us wanna be go fast owners. Thanks, TonytheTiger
