Moose,

Doug Kahl ran the 361/305 HP combination in the 62' Sport Fury,
which was classed in C/SA 1963 thru 1965.

Doug Kahl was the World Champion in 1965 with the 361/305 HP, in C/SA Class.

Both Doug Kahl and Dave Kempton ran the same 361/305 HP C/SA combination in the 62' Sport Fury's up until the 1965.

They also ran the 361/305 combination at the 66' Winternationals, but in
the 'New' 1966 D/SA Class.

In 1966, right after the 66' Winternationals both Doug Kahl and Dave Kempton switched to the 383/343 HP Dual-quad combination, which
put the Sport Fury's in the 'New' 1966 C/SA Class.

Doug Kahl won the C/SA Class at the 1966 Springnationals with the 383/343 engine.

Dave Kempton ran this in 1966, with the 383/343 HP engine combination in C/SA,
and won the 1966 Indy Nationals.

A complete article is printed in High Performqance Cars Magazine May/June 1967.
In it, Dave discusses running in SS/EA in 1967, where the NHRA minimum was set at 13.03,,,
higher than the C/SA National Record (12.97) that he set in 1966.
