I see alot of you guys have FEDs on here. I was kinda wondering how many of you have them. Secondly how many of you still race them. Any year make an model is cool. Lets see what you have a tell a story... Sent from my SM-G955U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Most people probably don't think it's funny. You seriously should think of changing it. It is very offensive.
I always thought a FED of a small displacement, non-blown class would be cool to have and/or build. As far as driving one though, I'm pretty sure my pistachios would make me lift w-a-y before I got to the lights. Lynn
if this pos computer of mine would post pics i would, but it wont. i have a 440 mopar powered one. it hasn't run yet though. got side tracked but will get back on it soon. it will be a 10 sec and slower car.
^^^^ That's what I thought in the late 70's/early 80's when I built my FED ^^^^. It started off running 10.05 E.T.'s like clockwork, and that was right where the guy I built it for to take out was. But, you ALWAYS want to go faster, run quicker, and it bit! Fastest/quickest was a 9.23 @ 146 MPH, with a 340 HP short block SBC and some old style P and P'd heads. Next dragster was a RED Super Comp Car, an 8.90 Index Class. You always want to go faster, and quicker. My neuro-surgeon however, put an end to my dragster racing days; "you can't do that!". He was a private pilot though, and he was fine with that if I wanted to learn to fly (???). I don't think he really understood what I was doing, it was't Top Fuel for crying out loud, but he said NO! Now, I'm building a Sportsman Class Bracket Car (may have to slow it down), that will do double duty as my "old-man-sleeper-car"; I hate them tuners and Mustang morons. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
im like flathead gary ive got a 1968 woody gilmore 188 wheelbase running a 427 chev all done waiting for nhra chassis inspector to certify. he was here for march meet but didnt have the time sic. gonna run anra ne classes. it is very true that you always want to go a little bit faster. i have been running open wheel 10.00 class with secondarys disconnected in my altered to keep it out of the 9s so i got a car thats legal. it doesnt take much to put a 1700 lb car in the 9s so be careful. wish i could post pictures
Currently restoring this one--Long/Hanna/Pink/Nancy/Cerney/Kelly and I also have an RCS (Huszar) that will be the next project. As it was in 1971 And when I purchased it (after I ditched some of the non original crap). I do have the original back half complete with the original 3 point roll bar and that will be mated with the surviving front half in the near future. Roo
'68 fed moved from cali to ct. powered by a modified (many other brands in it) buick 350 with a 471 Hampton on it. best is 9.0 @ 147. building another intake for a 671. never go back to a door car.
Older picture of mine when I got it. Just a rolling chassis right now, motor is now in my Austin but I hope to get it running again. There is just a long list of other things I have to get done first.
