Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Cool !!!

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

I'll take Shaul

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

And I'll take Defrank. I just love his camaro.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Wow, this should be great! I think DeFrank will beat Leber, but I don't know if he can beat Shaul. I wonder how close DeFrank can get to AA weight because he has been running B all year.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

dial-ins out the window ... may the fastest car win!!

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

I like Shaul as well. I think he is faster as an A car though. It will be a tight race I hope they are both Green

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

I forgot it'll be a heads-up run. I too guess Shaul will get the win then.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Congrats to John Shaul.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Congrats? Has he won yet? DRC hasn't shown the semis yet.

It's hard to pick against him ... unless DeFrank is actually in an 08 CobraJet and sandbagging! :)

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

He is Runner Up for sure.

Quicker than 9.50 and someone will get horsepower.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

I cant get the audiocast to work 1st time I've missed not having it all year

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

I will bet that at least ONE of the 08 Blown Mustang owner/drivers wishes they had been there. LOL

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Defrank with a 9.77 in the semi's.WOW! Should be a close final!

I hope both guys are green so this one goes to the strip!

Was he purging on the starting line or is that 427 actually a Sonny's 932? :) That's impressive, air is 2200ft.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

When I was there thursday, the weight tag on Jimmys window said it was a 396, 3210 lbs.........
GO JIMMMY!!!!!!

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Jimmy now has the chance to double up, as he just beat Jody Lang in the Super Stock semi final. Awesome!

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Way to go John

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Congrats to Shaul!

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

shaul wins 9.77 to 9.73
lites .019 to 065

....this is what was on live timing

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

9.77 to a 9.73 is that the fastest side by side pass in stock?

Congrats to both on a great final round!

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

WOW-just-WOW!! I am completely amazed at the times these guys run! BIG CONGRAYS TO JOHN SHAUL!

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Shouldn't that thing have a hood scoop? Is it not an aluminum nose? 9.77 and it could be even faster !

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Just goes to show it's not a bracket race every time.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

No....its a 425 HP (Hi comp 12.5 to 1) flat hood steel car. The Fury breaks at 8.04 with the Hi Comp combo......can run AA, A, and B. Anyone know why the Fury is not listed in the class guide with alum front end components with the 425 HP combo???. It just shows the Savoy and Belvedere unless Im reading it wrong???

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

The Fury didn't come with aluminum. Only the savoy and belvedere.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

My OLD books show Alum with both engines and all body styles but they were printed almost 40 years ago compared to the current guide on the NHRA site.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

I'm looking at a 1964 NHRA Class Guide, and it shows only the Savoy 2 dr post and Belvedere 2dr HDT as aluminum classified, (5.90 & 5.91).
Fred

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

My 1972 NHRA classification guide agrees with Freds.......

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

My memory agrees with Fred. I ordered a 64 belvedere in late '63.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

On the 8th day God created the Max Wedge and Mother Mopar kicked a** with it!


JimR

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

I agree. Been around these cars all my life and have owned one for the last 32 years.
Some of the confusion may come from the fact that not only could you buy the aluminum from the factory but for the 1963 car's Chry. sent some owners a complete front end in order to make the 1963 cars NHRA legal.
If I remember correctly only the High Compression 1964 cars got the alum. while the loe compression cars did not.

JimR

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

And you couldn't get the high compression with a steel front end. It came one way only, aluminum.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Floyd I dont agree, Drove Stein's cars for two years and his 64 2dr post Belv. was a factory steel 425hp Stage 3 and still is.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Thats the problem with the 63-64 Mopars. You could get anything you wanted back in the day. The 63 STATION WAGONS were allowed alum front ends (Can you say "WAR WAGON"). At least one 63 Max Wedge Alum front end Sport Fury Convert was built and sold. Some say the Dodge Polara Convert. was assembly line produced so its in the guide. All you can do is go with the CURRENT NHRA class guide. The old IHRA production S/S giude showed Alum front ends avaliable for all bodys in 63 and 64.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

Well Bob, I ordered one from the local dealer, paid my money and 6 weeks later I got a letter from chrysler that they would only deliver that car with an aluminum front end. Hell I couldn't afford to run AFX back then, or now either for that matter. I was trying to get a jump on A stock. This was in October or November of '63.

Re: Last 3 Stock cars at Pomona - AA/SA!
 

64 max wedge high compression is rated 425 hp w/steel and 430 hp w/alum
no alum on a 64 low compression 415 stk ss rated @405
BTW Bob the tomato can is a orig savoy
