Poncho, As for the 63 Leman’s not being a daily driver Rob drives the car regularly! He’s even driven it from his home in Butler to the Clairon FLD’s while I trailered the Jetta. The only time I have seen that car on a trailer was when he brought it to my place to dyno with the intent of blowing it up and when he took it to Rockingham where it ran 9.0 on street tires through the mufflers. He probably could have driven it there and saved a bunch of $ on fuel rather than trailering it. As far as the Power Tour goes… big deal… talk to me about Drag Week and you’ll perk my interest! Mike, I’m sure the '63 Lemans isn’t a “daily driver”. Driving regularly isn’t the same. But that isn’t the point. I was just saying that some may not want to drive 3 hours, but would certainly drive 45 minutes. Maintenance is a bitch, and honestly, this pig eats gas! This particular car is really built more of a Pro-Touring custom than a Pro-Street/drag car. Currie currectrac billet adjustable rear, SPC billet adjustable front UCAs, Howe tall ball joints, etc. It’s a vert, and I didn’t want to ruin it with a cage, so even with 600hp I’m limited to 13.49 under NHRA/IHRA. That’s also why I went with the TKO600. FLDs with street tires would have been a blast just to play around, but… What’s in that Lemans? 9’s on street tires through the mufflers? > [@berad"](#): > > And it doesn’t look like FLD’s are going to happen this year so let it go. Just sayin. Huh? FLDs are happening this year. They’re just all in Ohio (and once at BeaveRun). Again, are you actually reading what’s written? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/for-us-that-went-to-flash-light-drags/201387)._
