Congrats Rick Pike, first '56 in the 10's

I believe Rick Pike's '56 Chevy (SS/MA) is the first legal class '56 in the tens. Mission LODRS 10.96

3400 pounds and 265 CI

as my buddy says...anyone can put a big motor in a little car

way to go Rick

WOW! Very impressive! Congrats!!

Is it safe to presume that was the dual WCFB motor? (Even if it was, who'd ever have thought THAT was possible?)

Randall Klein · 05-31-2011, 02:03 PM

Yes, two CFM challenged Carter WCFB's

Ed Wright · 05-31-2011, 02:36 PM

Well over a second quicker than I could make mine run, with a stick, in 1972. LOL

That is a unreal time. What MPH did he run? Randall was it not you and your partner who was the first shoebox in the 10's? With your partners 57? I believe it was in Texas? Congrats to Rick and his very fast ride.....I tell people that two WCFB's would equal a good single 750 holley! People just don't understand it....
