Guest Removed Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 During Gateway International Raceway's annual gigantic Mega Test prior to the annual NHRA U.S. Nationals, Bill Glidden answered a question on the mind of just about every ADRL Extreme 10.5 fan. Based on his recent 4.20/170-mph eighth-mile pace, just how quick could Billy go if he ran his Mickey Thompson Tires Pontiac GTO another 220 yards? Running with no less than two dozen Pro Stock and Pro Modified competitors, Glidden's single four-barrel carbed, nitrous oxide-aided small block Ford-powered Goat clocked two eighth-mile runs of 4.23/170.26 and 4.25/168.98...and then ran it to the quarter-mile finish line! The results were fairly astounding: testing new M/T rubber compounds, Glidden ran 6.561/208.14 and 6.566/211.76, respectively, to lay claim to the title of World's Quickest Unblown Small Block in both 660 and 1320 feet.

Main3s Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Nice, I don't follow much drag racing, but no doubt that's impressive given its N/A. Is he spraying it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIP-Rich Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I thought for sure Titan had the 10.5 class in the bag untill the car bogged on the line in later rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
