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.

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

[Jeff Teuton]

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.

first record was t/sa in 1986 (ensuing party almost killed us all)...have pretty much held at least one record since until last year (thats 25 years but whose counting)
...clayton put it so close to instant HP i will have to wait a few more months to get it back...AHFS sucks !

captain jack and the killer kingswood wagon

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 !!

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]

Set my first record in SS/G 10.51 @ no mph 1983 @ Green Valley 428cj dish top w/heavy valves, same combo I run today, in my 68 Fastback Mustang.
Built my 69 coupe in 85. Won class at the Indy first race out.
Set first record with 69 in SS/H in 86 10.35@ 128.75.
SS/H 10.31@128.88 at Ennis, TX, 87
SS/H 10.24@131.00 atBaton Rouge,88
SS/G 1/8 mi 6.28@ 108.00, Houston,89
Was the first SS/G car to run in the 9's Dec. 89 9.90@ 134.76 Ennis Winter Series.
SS/G 10.10@ 131.57 Baton Rouge,90
SS/H 10.19@ 131.11 Houston Aug,90 I remember it was 98deg and only record set that day.
SS/G 9.48@ 140.53 Noble 09
and current SS/F 9.29@ 143.63 Noble, 11
Guess that will be all with the new rules not allowing for sub 1 sec runs with out getting your combo hit.Doesn't make sence anymore.

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.
