SS/H hitters?

[Sean Gaffney]

Stephen actually went 9.53 in qualifying at Indy 2023 can?t wait to see him in Indy again this year you should definitely join us water is always warm )

[Ken Parkman]

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.

I think there is a site that has the CD for each body style.
If you can find it you can see the aero difference in Camaro and Chevy11.
I think it was SSDIV6 (Joe) that sent it to me, but several computer upgrades has lost it. If I remember it was a pretty interesting study..Some cars I thought were bad Aero were really pretty good & the opposite, too..

OH! one other thought...when picking a class
With most of the 6 or 7 cars running the same engine combination going .7 or better and there might be a AHFS adjustment or two along the way.

As usual, a mostly not related piece of trivia. When I was most active in racing in the mid 80s thru 2000 or so - Pro Stock, so think Cutlasses, Thunderbirds, etc - the lowest Cd listed in the GM wind tunnel was a 4 door Cutlass. Evidently because of a longer, flatter, roof with a different backlight angle.
