For those of us so steeped in nostalgia that just to remember yesterday we sometimes decide not to shave or use deordorant, (Have a nice day,) what are the chances of getting someone to release the archives of Stock and Super Stock qualifying - from any events that NHRA may have archived?

I'm talking all of the way back too. Hell, I'll come over and type them in if needed. Or let Nitro Joe do it. Maybe just the U.S. Nationals. We'd sure get a kick out of it.

Could you find out what's there?

Hi Joe:
That's a start.
I'm wondering if there's stats back to the early '70's or '60's.

I know That about 6 years ago I called national dragster about such things on my dad and was tol they had no records. And then about 6 months later they did a story on Jr.stockers and WOW they had stats and a pic of dads car... We need to get on nhra and find these records so that we have the history....

No doubt they don't want to be bothered....but the right person could get in there. Sure would be cool. Instead of waiting for some reason to do a story, as in your case JimW - they need to realize there's mucho enjoyment that could happen sooner instead of who knows when.

Jim, Len, can you find out. Thanks.

I have the 1968 Winternationals Stock Round 1 thru Round 5. Example Pete Kost 68 Olds D/SA 12.79 107.78 over Ben Wenzel C/S 12.49 112.92 The class wins were posted in National Dragster but rounds of eliminator were not released to the media other than the final. National Dragster did have the rounds in written format.

Tony:
Did they ever post qualifying? I've got a few old N.D. - got a ton of Drag News, but they never seemed to have any qualifying either.
