Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

Once again if you're a BOP guy you have to be impressed by the performance of these two Buicks at Charlotte. Dedicated C/SA car that qualified #7 in S/Stock .--- 130 MPH in a cinder block is no easy feat.

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

I'm not a BOP guy, but what they did is just so impressive it's almost beyond words.

Real nice work!

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

Did anyone see under the hood of Jason's car? I wonder if he had a aftermarket intake,or was still using the cast iron intake.

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

I did, bone stock and it was heavy heavy C car, the man can made a car work, even has a cage in it as well. Nice job Jason,

Bryan, Lyn ----- I could ask but I think the only thing that was changed was the class designation on the windows and 110 lbs. added to the weight sticker. There is no lack of grey matter and hard work in those boys. With a shop full of employees to feed and the demanding schedule and R&D in their category it amazes me how they can achieve this level of performance in what is certainly not a paper car. If it was , the lanes would be full of them.

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

Very impressive, love those tri Shields

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

Nah,...Just running it wide open for a change.😳🤯

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

This was so cool and impressive makes my head want to explode lol! And oh by the way had two heads up races in the first two rounds of Super Stock. Whens the last time that has happened! Very cool!

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

Ummmmm, not to take ANYTHING away from Line. Anyone who can keep the bottom end in a Buick for 1320 feet has gotten my respect but has anybody looked at the HP factor difference between Stock and SS? He would be foolish to not run SS. The index changes .4 so now he can run it flat out without hurting himself. Kinda like running an LT-1 Camaro in SS.

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

Wow, thought things were getting a little foggy when someone asked about an aluminum intake. Thought, since when are they allowed in stock, but now that I found out he was running Super Stock makes much more since. lol

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

What's particularly noteworthy here is the 7000 rpm it takes to run those kind of speeds.
That block is not the most sturdy one out there.
I wonder how many runs the bearings are good for? ;-)

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

Billy / Mark -----Hence my grey matter reference. Buzz or pm me on the bottom end subject.

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

Tom Rix had his Buicks running hard in Top stock and they seemed to live. It is nice to see the odd brand out there.

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

Agree 100 percent. The entire Line family is an example of what happens when you have real commitment, are willing to work hard, and truly understand what drag racing is supposed to be about. Fine, fine people.

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

Hey Danny, how fast do you think that you could get a 1970 455/350 Olds to go in SS if it were at 290 HP?

Re: Jason Line / Dan Blabolil
 

Hey Billy -- Boy would that be nice . I get the inference 385/325 - 350/360 but as you know that combination has been rated at 350/stock 360/ss . As it is 360ss add 100 lbs. and run SS/HA on a 10.65 index . ------ If it -were- rated at 290/ss I think you could add about 150 lbs. and run ss/ka . That would put it high 10.60s low 70s in stocker trim on an 11.25 index but we both know that will never happen. Meanwhile thanks to Craig it's been a lot of fun and satisfying trying to find little things to pick up some et here and there. Hope to see you soon. Maybe Atco you never know.
