"Gone Ballistic"     1996 Chevrolet Lumina

Introduction / Overview: Here's my last toy! It  was an IHRA, NHRA Legal Alcohol Funny Car. I competed at the Divisional and National Event level for several years with this car running a best 1/4 mile ET of 6.00 @ 235 MPH and a best 1/8 mile of 3.82 @ 189 MPH

Drivetrain: Power came from a 548 cu. in. Blown Alcohol Kieth Black. The compression was 12.5 to 1 with a 14-71 Hi Helix Retro supercharger producing 47lbs of boost. The power was transfered through an AFT 11" 6 stand slider clutch to an air shifted three speed Lenco. The final drive ratio was  4.56

Chassis: The Chassis was originally the last "Blue Max" car Raymond Beedle ordered. It has since been totally redone by John Sandahl of Tube Chassis Design in Rockland, Ma.

Body & Paint: Paint was applied by Charlie (Smokey) Gomm of J&S Autobody and the airbrushing and lettering was done by Leroy Harriman of Belfast Maine.

Interioir: As you can imagine the interior was pretty much "ALL BUSINESS"!

Lifestyles: Race only
