Fubar does Hot Rod Drag Week 2024

[DavidKFla]

The absolutely insane part about all these runs this week is I crossed the scales at Milan... half tank of fuel or just slightly under with the tablet and mount in the car, myself, all of my gear, the subwoofer and a bunch of crap in the trunk...

At...

4875!

my old Charger weighed in at 4416 with a full tank of gas without me in it. How much stuff did you have in it?

The new owner Henry weighed it around 4570 with him in it.

Yep. That was us. Was a couple older than us in an old square body GMC with a carbureted small block and mechanical fuel pump. Wasn't building any fuel pressure. He thought it was Vapor locked but the ultimate fix ended up being the fuel pump Rod had shrank by about a quarter inch over the course of the week. Lol

The one time I had it weighed at Empire Dragway a few years ago it weighed 4525 without me in it. That was before the trailer hitch, stereo, and miscellaneous stuff like the laptop and mount and all the trunk trash.

I'm no spring chicken anymore and have been rolling around 230 lately

my old car must be a weight freak. it's loaded with power options and sunroof.

This car is slick top, Alpine Stereo, no other real options to speak of.

The hitch has to weigh a good amount and the 315/50/17s weigh a ton a piece too. Figure the subwoofer is a self-powered box that probably weighs 50 lb by itself. I'm 230 and 9 gallons of E85 is 60lbs give or take. It's believable. But she still a big girl
