What combo are these guys running ?

Ernie would have still qualified #1 with the auto.trans but he is stick shift guru in all his race cars,,and he will find another combo to build

Most people know that they never put stick shifts in the bathtub Caprices. How far do you think anyone would have gotten with the original car , running R/Stock, stick?
It's hard to tell what engine is under the hood of a SS/GT car , from the stands. Announcers rarely ever mention it.
I wouldn't blame disgruntled racers for pointing this one out. I'd place the blame squarely in an office that's about 400 miles west of here.

Oh, I am not putting the BLAME on disgruntled racers.....In the new NHRA we must police ourselves .....Don’t forget that Pat C’s Resume includes the AMC aftermarket parts fiasco, the 340 aluminum intake that was OK’ed and then rescinded, and , well....you get the picture loud and clear.
