Re: National Record Holders
 

Interesting how it appears, based upon the above-data, that the stick-shift cars had the upper hand back then.

I also think it's funny that a good running F/SA car of today could have set the A/SA record in 1988. LOL

Re: National Record Holders
 

30 NHRA , 2 IHRA , set at Englishtown, New England Dragway, US13 , Coastal Plains , Sanair , Maple Grove, Suffolk , Atco , Lebanon Valley,and Cecil County. 1981 - current

Most fun was when a bunch of records were set, seeing who could be the first one back together and running. Teardown at the farm at Maple Grove was a contest.

Lotsa gaskets , Lotsa fun and challenges, still happy to be enjoying the ride.

Re: National Record Holders
 

myself and my son Shaun Le Blanc have set a few over the passed 12 yrs. SS/F SS/G SS/H all in the same yr. GT/A was the first GT/A in the 8's. and records all NHRA. About 30 in all.We our proud of Our accomplishments and the people that helped us get there. Also the guys that now hold these Records.Alot of hard work. Hope to be back in the books one day.. Really enjoy running Fast.

Re: National Record Holders
 

I/CM (maybe H/CM too?) with Terry Knott's Dart Sport... 1/8 @ Tri-State, 1/4 @ Quaker City.... where else?
I/CM (1/8 @ Rockingham) & J/CM (1/4 @ Darlington, 1/8 at Kinston) with my Volare... probably a couple other places.
SS/BX with Adger Smith's 277 V6 Camaro (1st two passes in it!) Milan Dragway 2004

I think we set or held records from 2003 up til just a couple years ago. Quit bothering a year or so after they quit awarding points for Records. That and one time they published "Photo Unavailable" for a record in the magazine, despite there being a kazillion pics of the Volare on file.

Re: National Record Holders
 

Marty and I have set a few. I think we are both out of dragester right now.Time to teardown agian!

Re: National Record Holders
 

An always fun day was watching Red and Scooter both set the record in the same class on the same day. I think once each had it 3 times before the sun set. That was good racing. Both Super Stock Stick Shifts (say it slow). Clutches got a workout on those days.

lots of teardowns, lots of gaskets and lots of quality time with travis miller > he tore me down two weeks in a row, said he wanted to see the other head :) > in fact he carried a concrete block in the van to stand on !!

Re: National Record Holders
 

We held the SS/K record, on and off, from 1979 to 1983, until we installed the 327 in the car. We then held the SS/H record for a couple of years, until we sold the car to Ken Preston, he then held the record for awhile. I believe we were the first Super Stock 283 engine to go in the 10's. It went 10.92 at Greenvalley Texas, early in 1980. We also won Super Stock at the Mile High Nationals, in 1979 and 1980. Eddie Rezac & Sons, [Tim, & Todd]

I couldn't have set either one without the help of several people including my Dad (Dick) and my brother (Billy) . I hope to have the Regal out this year fitted with a 455 Buick under the hood in GT/IA

Re: National Record Holders
 

I understand...I could have easily set the D/S record with my AMX as it was running 10.50s to 10.60's. But NHRA had an 11 month then back to minimum policy at the time. I thought that was BS as that's a lot of work to go back to minimum soon thereafter. Now if somebody could take it from me, that's another story.

Re: National Record Holders
 

First records set were 5/27/07 in F/CM at US 131 @ 10.8289 at 120.26mph. Currently hold F/CM at 10.776 at 121.06 and H/CM at 10.968 at 118.52 all in my 69 Camaro. While setting the six total records I had two things in common, the first was it was the hottest and most humid day of the summer and the second was, friend and fellow drag racer Don Holben was there to help me reassemble the parts each time. I like the way IHRA tells you to show up with the engine apart a day early. They check it, and you reassemble it in front of them, they seal it, and make your two runs. I am planning on set two more records this year and then turn the driving of my 69 stocker over to Brad Z. I want to focus on drag racing my other cars and also my pursuit of 200 MPH at the Bonneville Salt Flats in my 99 Camaro.

Re: National Record Holders
 

In oct. 2008 at the div. 4 race in Noble,Ok, we qualified #2. Later, same weedend, Wesley came up to me in the staging lanes and told me a number of people had approaced him and were saying I was not "legit". Went to the nat open in Kansas City later same month and set the D stick et record at 10.54. Duzac held it before me and he later took it back. But it sure felt good to do it. 1967 mercury cougar 390

Re: National Record Holders
 

I didn't set it, but loaned it to a friend and he took it to Tucson divisional and set the record at 12.18. I hope to someday set the record myself with the car as it is on my list of things to do since I got into class racing.

Re: National Record Holders
 

While digging through my archives last night in search of a specific 1999 Mopar Action, didn't I see your national record setting under 5K shadow(I think), featured in one of the magazines from a era back in the roaring 90's. Looks like it could be competitive today.

It counts too!
