Re: A990 Super Stockers
There was a Johnny White that drove the Houston Hustler funny cars in the 1970s. Maybe that was the same guy?

Re: A990 Super Stockers
Picture from Facebook: Reported to be a garage built A990 clone "back in the day" but still a cool car with a lot of history.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
The Cheshier car has been discussed here before. That is the car Greg Charney won Indy with in 1971. It was a real W051 car, not a clone. Ron Cheshier also owned Bill Gibbs' red/yellow/white Coronet as well.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
Old thread, new question.
In the current 1964-65 NHRA class. guides, they list the 426/425hp-8v race hemi. I deduce that this was factored to about 500-505hp so it put the cars into S/S, below the 7.00 weight break. But they also list a 426/400hp-4v race hemi. I wondered why (besides NASCAR), but if factored the same way, say up to 480hp or so, that would put the 4bbl hemi cars right around W/P=7.08 so they could run in A/S for 1965. I don't even know if the 426/400-4v race hemi existed in NHRA in 1965, but if it did, was it really factored that way, could those car run in A/S=7.00, and why is there no evidence of that happening? Leads me to believe NHRA did not recognize the 426/400-4v, whether factored or not? |
