The only year I can figure for that picture is 1968 but somehow the picture "seems" older than that. 1968: H/S=11.50 W/P class. 210Chev 2ht...
[ATTACH] Ben Ryan's Shifmaster-1 set the F/S=15.00 record at 91.69mph in July 1962. Also won 1962 Indy nationals F/S, 15.72 at 89.19mph. 1959...
Well that picture of Terrible Tangerine raises a few fuelie questions for me (never had one). As I've heard it, the 1957 fuelie cars just had an...
Very telling that this combo (1965 Gal 2ht, 427-8v) could compete in AA/S=7.00-8.69 class, and WON (Schmitt's car not Glidden's car) even though...
Pat / 34: Bear in mind, what was called "cheater" cam was really legal to run (at least formally after 1967) as it met factory specs WHERE...
Terry: So are you saying in my chart above that bert morgan is really jim morgan and the car was in fact a 68-1/2 428CJ lightweight in SS/FA? (I'm...
While it's still only 1 page back (pg 509) I wanted to thank Jim for posting the 71 and 72 Indy results. As I come across these old sheets I'm...
CHEATER CAM QUESTION: A few pages back there was a discussion of NHRA teardowns. I thought it might help with some of the old 1960s cars I’m...
From back in the thread, the yellow 2dr wagon looks like John Frith. If you search this thread for "Frith" some posts show up. I thought the...
I too have been searching for anything on the 1968 Pomona Winternationals. I found a barely readable newspaper link here, gives the winners and...
Thanks for the replies about the 1965 Indy Nationals. Here are the tables I have so far as I've filled in the car and engine for each winner and a...
Thank you very much!!! I don't have that issue & the results sheet I have doesn't list the cars/years. If you have the issue handy there are a...
I've guessed at a few more cars but this one I'm stuck on. At the 1965 Indy Nationals, B/S=9.50 class was won by Orburn Thornton from Jackson, MS...
And another old post, #9268 in the thread. Another way cool picture! See link, Ricart Ford sponsored the "Lively Ones" race team from Ohio. Lively...
Shoutout to Biscaynes old post 9247 picture of D/SA of McClelland & Boston. I'm trying to figure out the 1967 cars, records & Nationals, from the...
Per the above questions, I'm re-making the NHRA Nationals & Records as lists that show the actual car & MODEL, along with the engine combo. I was...
OK I'm hunting for some more car/engine combos to line up with names. Any help appreciated. Sanderson, 57 Chev wagon, Sep 1965 F/S=12.50 record...
[ATTACH] Thanks Kentuckian, I had never really looked that close at those lower classes in the guide - didn't realize the automatics could run in...
I'm looking for a couple hints from the 1962 NHRA nationals. Don Cope won I/S=w/p=19.00-20.99 in a "Ford" with 16.69 at 79.85mph. A "Ford", wow,...
Here is our all-original 427/410hp, circa 1974. Paid $700 for it. No, not the air cleaner, the whole car, as is. Original owner was so careful he...
It looks like of the 6 factory 428CJcars, 3 were SS/E, 2 were SS/EA, and 1 (Hubert Platt) was C/SA. Decent summary here:...
I am trying to find out what ET-MPH Kempton was running in C/SA at the 1968 NHRA Winternats. His C/SA final win was a bye run (Platt didn't make...
Yes, a 265 indeed, I didn't look close enough at my own database. Thanks for catching that! I was thinking of their '55 and the 265 in there, but...
Neja & Dissette circa 1969, R/S=21.00, I have 14.91 and 88mph class records. NHRA record 90.90mph end of 1970 in T/S=21.00. Pretty healthy for a...
DeLorenzo set the E/S=11.90 record in May 1965, with a 283/270hp, at ET=13.21. I'm trying to hunt down the MPH he turned with that ET. Any ideas?
THAT was funny, an actual LOL!! Now for my quest of the day: I'm looking for a pic or what car was Richard Charbonneau's 1963 Plymouth. Said to...
Rat - One more suggestion on your 1963 tables (I await the other years!!!) I think the NHRA DQ rule was really stupid. The winner cheats, so the...
Rat, This is AWESOME stuff and valuable history. I am tracking it with my own database, filling in a few etc. I am trying to Gonkulate all these...
I'm looking for pictures or info on the 1967 Fairlanes of Jim Morton SS/CA and Ken Dondero SS/C. Trying to find out if they were sedan or hardtop,...
The 352 is a dog but its not "that" bad, it is about the equal of a stock 1970s Chevy 350 in stock form. Some will disagree but I have had both...
