Re: Fly Weights
I have always really like this car, I got to ride in it back when Richard James had it, it was at Gainesville back in the eighties. I broke something and coasted off the other end and Richard came by and gave me a ride back to the pits. It had a six cylinder in it then and it was the loudest car I've ever been in.

Re: Fly Weights
How about a 1961 Dodge Lancer with the 196 hp 225 c.i. 6 cylinder 4 barrel. Runs J/S at 2620#. You couldn't beat anybody, but it would be fun.

Re: Fly Weights
‘63 Olds Jetfire....Hard to believe one lasted that many miles. https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0517-28...obile-jetfire/. They usually ended up parked due to way to many problems. A good looking little car though. F-85 body style. The Pro ET winner nationally this past year has one.

Re: Fly Weights
My pick for a fly weight would be a 57 Corvette with the 283 hp fuel injected motor. A natural D car that would go into C at 2717. Not cheap and I don’t know how competitive it would be, but definitely cool!

Re: Fly Weights
I have to wonder if NHRA would let you use the alcohol injection? If you look at the Mecum pictures, you can see the alcohol tank on the drivers side of the radiator.
