Yes I saw that, as well as the other blank spots on the list...N/S, V/S, E/SA all disqualified, I'm curious on why if anyone knows. I also noticed Ray Allen's Chevy 56 mph run in K/S, looks like something happened on that run.

Ray probably only ran to 1000 Ft like the guys with the new cars and some others do today.......LOL.

What were the Ramchargers running that year, I remember only fuelers & floppers.

How interesting would it be if they just take class winners and top qualifiers to make a 64 car field for the Eliminator at Indy this year. We would see how fast the new cars can really go, it sure would be fun.

But then NHRA would miss out on 64+ entry fees and crew passes. Most of the current "crop" of racers wouldnt bother to enter.

I've raced Indy with only a 64 car field, there were 10 cars in F/S back then alone. I'm sure that they wouldn't miss out on any less entries, mater of fact, there may be more.

Ray Allen,,,,,,1957 Chevrolet Model #210 Beauville 9 Passenger Wagon,
'The Terrible Tangerine'
283/283HP,,,,,w/Fuel Injection, and a Muncie 4-speed,,,,
K/Stock,,,,,,NHRA National Record Holder,,,E.T.,,,,, 13.14

In 1969, these 1957 Fuel Injected Chevy Wagons were a 'perfect' fit
for K/S (12.50 - 12.99 wt/hp)

My guess on why his Class Winner E.T. was so slow,,,,,,his opponent probably
needed the 'holeshot of the century' to win.
He got the'holeshot',,,,,but left on the 'first light', and 'red-lighted',,,,,,HEE HEE

I think this is the right year. My good friend Willis Pruitt either won or runner-upped in N/S with a 57 210 4 door hardtop with a 283/220 3speed. He was tossed for having either NAPA rocker arms or push rods. Even though they looked just like the chevy ones they had NAPA part numbers. Willis was the local NAPA guy.

Casey,
I raced at Indy in Super Stock when only class winner got in. There was 21 SS/LA cars for class.
