Did he withdraw or not? If he withdrew, then he got credit for the entry and he technically wasn't there.
Sounds like a legal issue.

Also, how can that motor have a manual trans GT factor, when it only came in a Caprice?

Hello Mark

I do not have any inside information.

I know a bunch left before 1st round and since they were a long way from home, and I understand.

I believe that the 265 was originally an automatic combination.

The Hp per the way I read the rule is AUTOMATIC once the run is made...weather he withdraws or not!

It's really about time that combo got hit, as he's always been REAL FAST with that particular engine.

As for transmission---I believe the "Any" engine/transmission combo takes care of that.

I doubt 7Hp (if that's what it is) will slow it down THAT MUCH. Should be something like 70/75 lbs...so, a big -1.34 or so under now....LOL

Good run....should of shut off at 1000' but, good run!

So does this HP hit apply to cars running the 265 in traditional Super Stock?

No. Jim

The HP change only applies to this specific engine which is a late model 265.

Jim & Paul

Thanks for that info.
Just curious, how does that combo come to get 265 cid? Is it a 262 block?

Thanks

Allan

7 hp in GT/MA (14lbs weight break) would be 98 lbs. Should slow it down a tenth....if he was at minimum weight????

Ron,s motor combo came from a New York taxi cab and was the brainchild of him and Gene Bichlmeier. It has a 3 in stroke and is basic lt1 setup but is an iron head motor. The reverse cooling is a problem with them as any lt1 because of the extra water holes in the deck and cly head so runing a aftermarket block is not a bolt together deal. It also also has a 5.8 or 9 something long rod that was just reaproved by NHRA not to long ago. In running GT/MA you best have your act togrther with the likes of bob dennis and kevin murpfy with there caddy motors then don,t foget about town and shaffer with 2bl 350s this group was always on the top of the sheet. His run was made in bracket trim and was the first run on the engine since last april when he broke it. All for not when the weather deal took over. I know Ron feels bad over the deal and will move on. But is not our class perfromace based or that the way it started out to be. Its not for us to shoot arrows at him but to shake his hand and say way to go you done good. Way to go Ron and call if you guys need bail money on your trip {wish I was there}. Tom
