1930 Ford Model A Coupe build up

Four years ago was the first time I ran the coupe down the quarter. The result of that first race, a neck snapping low 14 / high 13 second passes. I broke the diff in the process (the only thing I didn't weld on the car). I was more annoyed at the average ET's than the diff breaking.

Light car, big motor. It should have been a lot faster. It was still good to have some fun after all those years away from Drag Racing..

After getting the drag racing bug again my aim was to run a 10 second pass. I didn't care if it was a 10.99. I just wanted to see a 10 flash up on the timing boards.

Fast forward five years and after

3 different types of converters later (2500 that worked well with the hydraulic cam, 4000 stall that didn't work with the solid cam set up and was a struggle with idling)
New cam (Hydraulic to solid)
Change in diff gears (3.89 to 4.33),
Two different changes in dizzy's (I broke the original and the second was supposed to be set up for my engine but was just some Chinese Junk that a reputable dizzy builder had built) ,
Two different ignition boxes (I broke the original one at Calder along with the above mentioned dizzy. The second box had severe issues when i hit the nitrous so took it back) ,
Additional race pipes,
Change in Nitrous set up(borrowed a different plate and solenoids)
Change in fuel set up (Moon tank mounted at the front of the car with better breathers than my rear mounted tank),
Change in fuel (tried PULP, Avgas and 102 race fuel)

So after all that finally jagged that 10 second pass I have been chasing in the home built hot rod. I had run close at Calder with the 11.10 pass at 125mph.

I had run 125mph a few times which was frustrating me as that mph equates to a 10 second pass.

It all happened on the 26/05/18 at the Nostalgia drags at Swan Hill Raceway. The rod didn't just dip into the 10's..It made a big dent.

10.78 @ 125.2 mph backed up by 10.65 @ 125.69 mph
