Anyone into drag racing?

It has been many years since I raced, however, I am dying to build another drag car.
I have an '80 Zephyr Z-7 (originally a turbo 2.3) I blew up many years ago and bought a 12pt cage for it last fall. I am hoping if all goes well this summer to get it back halfed and the cage in it this summer.
I have the better part of the parts to build a 514 for it just waiting for some spare time to put it together.
I will probably go up to 131 dragway in Mich. when it is done.

I am not really sure, it will depend on if I put the 8-71 on it or not.
My wife is interested in maybe driving it and has never raced- I certainly am not going to put her behind the wheel with the 8-71 on it!!
I figure either way a 12pt is a given, it will either be required, or, I will need it to keep from being stuck raising 2 kids on my own!!
What are you running?

Well, I wish I could race my truck. It's just too damn heavy. If I had a lighter, faster truck or a good car, I sure as hell would.
My grandpa used to race circuit in the Midwest Cup with an old Chevy (it was a GM, not sure of brand). He won 2 years in a row. Hell, my F250 is bone stock and faster than some cars. Same with my 96 Sable!!! I just wish I could get my hands on an old Mustang, even a Fox body would make me happy. I just want it to have a V-8 under the big ol' hood.

To Heavy???
You just need more cubes !!!
557 inches of supercharged ford muscle will put the fear of god into any mustang, no matter what it is in !!!
Whats keeping you from picking up a toy??
Wife is no excuse - Try this philosophy-
It is easier to get forgiveness than it is permission.
I live by it
( I will not be held responsible for any bodily injury incurred by applying this philosophy)
Fox bodies are pretty readily available and not to expensive - take the dive - Obama is send us checks soon!!!
