1979 Fairmont Drag radial/x275 project - "The Cream Dream V2.0" by tirefryin_s10 & bmxarmy

Well we went to Las Vegas for SCSN 14 a few weeks back and although the car was on a string all weekend and although we won round 1 of small tire no time and made forward progress every lap we unfortunately could not make the call for round 1 of X275. This was a pretty heart breaking blow after qualifying #2 and being the only other car running over 160+ in a very tight field just a tiny bit behind John Urist. We were unable to continue due to cracking the cylinder heads.

We were able to do the following though:

Best 60 foot - 1.110
Best et 4.45
Best mph 166

All of this was at a weight of 3380-3390 lbs and with our loose stator in the converter (between 14-17% slip) so the rest of these guys better be on notice that once we have this head issue sorted out we will be back and when we are we are coming for blood!

We like to make sure everyone has a great time and enjoys some laughs while we are racing so this year we were "Horsing around" a bit as well as had a special appearance by the MACHO MAN himself to back me into the groove. James also got me a fun addition for my helmet that certainly got some laughs.


Now for the pics:
