I had a '50 Chebby coupe with a 400 inch olds that I used to drag in the C-Gas class with little success. I had a full race 40 inch Triumph that weighted just over 300 pounds that got me to the final trophy dash a few times.

I had a '99 lightning that I sold, it would easily outrun stangs, camaros, firebirds, any setup they would throw at me. Never raced that one at a track though, always out in the boondocks where there is always at least one fresh paved back road. Only cars I have ever raced at a track was an 87 Pontiac GTA, 400 small block chebby TPI, nitrous, uncapped headers it ran low 11's on street tires and 74 duster 440 hemi heads tunnel ram, 727 manual reverse valve, also nitrous ran just under 10 on slicks strickly drag car though. Neither were my car. I still drive the duster on occasion, it is my best friends car. Fun car to drive too....

Sinner the important thing is that you beat the Civic 
I raced my 1976 F250 in the mud bogs and sand drags and beat most of the other guys, including the Toyotas with small block Chebbies in them
I also raced it on the old highway a couple times against other trucks and usually won. I had a 428CJ with big cam, 427 Cobra dual quad intake etc.
Currently I race my T-Bird stock car. It has a 351W. I'm in top points and have the track record. The Chev guys hate it

First car I ever owned was a 51 Ford Supposidly had a 53 merc flat head in it.
In 61 I used to drag it and won some and lost some.
That car had 3 T handles under the drivers side of the front seat. Never did find out what they were for.
