Doug instead of 2 65 Galaxies with 390's how about one Galaxie with two 390's? That ought to pick ET up to a less embarrassing level. 
I think they could be mounted end to end with some minor firewall hammering and you could just unhook one for the street drives to maintain gas mileage. 
I wasn't even going to do a burnout because I figured only one wheel would spin, so I just rolled through the water and hit the gas to try and dry off the right tire. My son told me both tires spun. I was amazed..lol I couldn't foot brake it because with the drum brakes, I knew it'd push right through the beams, so I just waited and hit the gas. It launched about as hard as a fat turtle walking uphill
A funny story about tech, the guy was looking over my car and said "you don't have a driveshaft loop", I said "I know, the car won't be fast enough to need one". He replied that NHRA requires one with slicks, I told him again that I won't be fast enough to need one. He informed me that he'd have to limit me to a 13.99 et, I said Noooo problem
Of course my horns worked on the way down, but at tech they were back to warbling, trying to clear their throats. I kept hitting the horn ring trying to get them to make a sound when somebody else honked their horn. I immediately said "there, did you hear it?" They laughed, I laughed, my son laughed, it was a good time..lol I kept trying the horns when my son mentioned that they were trying to work, so the tech guy listened and heard the faint pathetic sound of it warbling and said "I heard it....passed"
Always lots of good stories from Drag Week, even if it was only one day for me.
As far as FE's go, Scott was the only one with ANY shot at taking a trophy before it even started. Yes, it's amazingly fast for what the car is, because the Street Race class is the most restricted of any class there. No fiberglass panels allowed except for the hood and bumpers. No body alterations allowed, of any kind. Must use stock type suspensions etc. Basically the only alteration that's allowed are mini tubs that don't intrude on the factory frame rail locations. Like I said before, it's a testament to Blairs engine and the Millers ability to get it to hook. I saw and learned a few details about the engine when I visited Blair, but I won't give them away.
