AA/SA @ Norwalk OH

Larry Hill · 06-21-2009, 09:18 PM

David "Paper Boy" Barton; I believe John will have his car in AA/SA to protect it from running 1.15 under at Norwalk. Last week at N.J. John went 1.21 under in elimination, so I believe he will protect the combination by running in AA/SA. I still believe its going to be a great class to watch, Good Luck to all.

There is an interesting picture a few years back in the National Dragster of the best appearing car at a Division One Points race, the picture has a SS/FA 1970 'Cuda 440 six pack, Allen Dame car owner, Bob Lang Division One director, and Bruce Bachelder NHRA Tech.

What is a "Paper Car": one that was never built, or that the public could never purchase.
Paper Cars: 1998 LT1 Camaro, 428 fords with 2.200 crank pin size, L 88 carburetor, dove heads, .527 lift cams, bell housing for a C4 to a FE block, almost forgot Eldebrock Aluminum Heads. Nascar Hemi with a street intake, aka The Short Track Manifold. If they are going to race the Nascar deal at least put the correct manifold on it. The 08 Corbra is a real car its way under factored but a real car you can buy for around $75000

Mr Heath I have lost to Lance Line, John Foxbower, Mike Winke and Marty Burke, for class AFTER the discovery of the .527 lift cam and the replacement carb. Ken Miele out drove me then out ran by .02 the first round a class at Gainesville one year. Ken beat me with the real stuff.

I believe you are correct I just need to work on my stuff. I would appreciate your help, I have a 1972 Dodge Charger with a 400 4sp. I was wondering what class that it would figure?

Thanks for your Help.

Larry,

You have discovered NHRA's little secret. It was even in the National Dragster (Mike Dunn's column?) how Fuller's Top Fuel car has a better chassis than some of the other cars because he is short and the car is built different allowing more flex in the front half of the chassis. Maybe NHRA should have all the drivers weigh (use 200?) and have to add any "short" weight in the drivers seat area. Just think, you and Jeff T. might be the only guys tossing weight out of their cars!!

In reference to George Fitzpatrick's 'cuda being parked...that is the real tragedy as NHRA waters down what is a production car....real cars, real people are parked because of "paper"...put them in FX, A B or C
