SS/H hitters?

GMS1 · 06-21-2024, 02:10 PM

Planning on running in SS/ H (stick) and wondering how fast folks have been? Knowing records are no longer posted (or even attempted to keep some in the bank) who has been at the top in this Class with regards to mph? Who won Class in H at Indy? Thanks.

Getting a copy of Nitro Joes statistics from last year is very educational! In there are 9 SS/H cars, 5 of which are .7 (ish) or better under. A bunch of Camaro/Nova 327s and a 73 Firebird with a 455.

(ps I'm doing the same research on SS/LA)

That car is really Stephen Koch?s car but Belanger was driving it! Very nice looking fast camaro!

Thanks for the info folks. That Camaro is flying. It makes me wonder how much better the aero is on it vs. my 66' Chevy II.

There are a lot of fast SS/H cars Steve Koch?s car and Sean Gaffney?s are the top of the class at the moment there are a couple 67?s corvette that can upset the waters if wanted to and if someone build a LT1 firebird we are all in trouble but I do believe the Camaro is a couple hundreds better body style then the chevy2
