Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mark Leichook's car is a Big Block, not a 340. JB

No, it is definitely a 340. I've talked with both Brad and Mark previously, including visiting with them in the pits at Indy.

I have gone 10.79 at 122 in G/SA with my 340. Bub Whitaker power ... Yes, Mark's car is a 340 and a fast one at that ...

Very impressive numbers, you could do some Vette hunting in G/SA with those numbers, knew Lowell runs a Whitaker motor but wasn't sure about your car. Coe's runs at altitude and all the other variables make this entire list very impressive.

Wonder who will be at the Dutch with a badd 340 ? I'll be there looking and asking questions.

I recall seeing "Pettis", or something like that, lettered on his car.

John,
It would be nice to see the car raced again. I've always had a soft spot for Challengers because a '72 was my first car. Being a 340-6 T/A makes it quite unique.
