The Bee is my friend Harry's car. It's an 11 second FAST car running on fiberglas belted bias ply tires!

I just made one shake down run and one good pass. No tuning or practice. I did change the plugs after the shake down because it was missing like a b___ch! The one good pass was a 12.80 with a .057 RT, 8.15 1/8th and my mph was a lowly 105.57 (it was starving on top end). Based on experience, I am positive that with some carb tweaking it will go 110 with what's in it. I posted previously about it but it's worth bragging about. I beat an SRT8 Challenger by .0018 seconds. He ran a faster 12.64 and 114 mph but couldn't catch the RoadRunner! The announcer said "Old school versus new school...and it's old school!" He got the "old" part right! :drive: arty:

Thats great JD!! Both of those cars are stunning! I am curious though, what mph did it run in the 1/8?

 

[RoadRunnerJD]

84.86 mph..the SRT8 was 8.28@90.96

Is that Bee a '383 car?

 

[moparchris]

Thanks.

Yes but the motor is a stroked 400 (see the fender tags in previous photo on page 1) with some highly worked heads, a cast iron intake, an AVS, stock manifolds, 3.91 rear and redline tires. It has run 11.6's @ 117 without slicks.

That's awesome. Good show. Would love to take mine to a track, if I can keep her running long enough. Never done it, so a bit intimidated.

What part of N. Virgina? I just moved to Alexandria from Atlanta, GA last year and am yet to find a mopar community. What track is that? It doesn't look like MIR.

Those are really nice rides, I really like the "fender tag"!
