Video: Rural road street drag...86 Cutlass vs. 73 Ranchero
Just a video I made with some friends and posted on Streetfire.
My car is an 86 Olds Cutlass with the mods in signature, plus a recurved HEI (springs/weights) with an adjusted Vacuum advance which I did the earlier during the day of the race.
His car is a 73 Ford Ranchero with a 351 Cleveland and a 3 speed auto. Don't know much more about it, except that it's got true duals and glasspacks.
Traction is elusive in the old Cutlass, next mod is going to be a locker. And then hopefully a simultaneous cam and gear swap!
I probably put about 6 cars or so on him. He's gotta have a pretty big weight disadvantage with that Ranchero, despite the 351.
Anyways, not the coolest video out there, but there don't seem to be many street race videos on the net with G-bodys, so it's neat to put the first one on this forum and show what a G-body with little $$$ can do (even though that's not much at the present time). When the car gets some more serious mods there will be probably more races in the city (where work/school is) against imports and lesser domestics. Enjoy!
