While we are at this: What happened to the 1963 Super Duty Cats? I know there were 14 Swiss Cheese Cats, at 3300 lb these ran in A/FX, and could...
I saw those, they're in the range for sure but I was looking for the one that went with the record at York, PA - that's probably the ONE run...
I am trying to find the MPH that Brannan turned when he set the 12.42 record on 13 Jul 63. The 12.42 is all over the place but I cant find the MPH...
Yes I can see now it' a Gal, just a funny camera angle. I grew up riding in the back seat of our family 390/330 Merc. I never see any timeslips on...
I think that's a 64 FAIRLANE? Camera angle is a little funny, but I've worked on so many 63-64 Galaxies the body just didn't look right. The...
Way back on pg98 post2915 but I just found it, the July 66 records sheets. I think I figured them all out or at least close. One that I cant find...
OK I will treat AHRA as kind of a "very loose Superstock" rules, from hunting further I see what you mean about apples-to-oranges. I learned a...
Awesome, that helps. Did AHRA still use lb/hp in Stock and Superstock or did they use lb/CID, kinda like the old FX classes ? It would be hard...
Thanks for that detail on the breakout, it is awesome to have that detail in this thread. I've been using today's on-line shipping (NHRA)...
Old thread, new question: I am not very familiar with AHRA but an issue has come up making me ask a question. I have seen inferences that some...
Found this from a few years back, excellent et/mph sheets from 1970 Winternats & current NHRA records. I am realizing that it's tricky to assess...

Gary (et al) I am looking for some basic info on the 65 Chev M/SA record holder, all I have is the Aug.1970 National Dragster sheet showing 13.36...
I never had a 442 but realize on looking back they were not to be underestimated. Another rather obscure link for Olds Day, the Smothers Brothers...
Chuck, Boyce's book shows Broadhead at 12.98 at 11.02mph (110.2 ?) at 66 Winternats. So I guess the 12.87 came in that timeframe. I wonder how...
Chuck, I have been sorting out the ET/MPH of Junior Stock from the 1960s. I thought based on Post#3594 you might know the answer to this: I...
Excellent thread! I am trying to make sense lately of the 1960s NHRA classes. Have a math question about the 1963 FX class. Rule book says: A/FX =...
Thanks Chuck. I did not know Paul, only by his web posts. Such a sharing guy, wealth of information and passion, he will do well in the afterlife...
Paul, The 383/343hp was new to me as I started reading about it. I never saw one! Is the intake the long-branch (doubt it) or the diagonal-plenum...
