Big Block VEGA WAGON Doesn’t Disappoint!
Рет қаралды 260,167
7 жыл бұрынYou KNOW you’re in for a good time when you see wheelie bars, and big tires on an old station-wagon at a drag strip. Sure enough, it’s first pass down the track brought smiles to ALL of our faces - pulling the wheels and doing a double-wheelie effortlessly! This car has come a long ways, and we can’t wait to see it again soon!

adjust your wheelie bars closer to the ground, alot closer. rebound wont b so bad and u can get on full throttle sooner. u have one badass car, great video
@davidkeeton6716 6 ай бұрын
Exactly. "We weren't expecting that. I don't know what happened " Duh.. Don't spend a fortune making power then take power out of it. Adjust the suspension to put it to the ground. And Adjust the the wheelie bars so they are about an inch and a half off the ground. Are you making top fuel power? NO! Then you don't need to take power out, you need to put it to the ground and go forward NOT UP.

If this is the same old green big block Vega Wagon that ran around the east side of Indy back in the 70s and 80s it's nice to see it running after all these years. Back then it had gold lettering on the side rear window. Something like King Rat, Rat Attack, Street Rat or something like that. It had a big hood scoop with a tunnel ram and a turbo 400. Best of luck.

Looking at the motor and knowing it has "1" kit I'd guesstimate 800ish and the car might weigh 2800 with him in it.. so math is telling me high 8's low 9's and unlimited traction. but that's 30 years of being a drag racer and reading cars. If times popped up I'd point at that range for the car and mid to high 5's in the eighth.

We need to see some of his cars. Notice the guy said he had weight in the front end to hold it down. He could always take weight out to make it hook harder on a track that's loose.
