1970-71 Englishtown

Rich Biebel would know about H/S.

SS and DI had a write up. ALL the cars in the eliminator were class winners...Imagine that.

Ed, put it on the HAMB ,Junior Stock thread. You'll get the answer.

This place is all about Cavaliers, Cobalts and CJ's

You forgot the DP Challenger Mr. Y

H/S 1970, I think E-Town.....Maybe Jack Marks or Tom Elk.....
My partner thought it would be a good time to try a 3rd gear launch ....in the first round of class.
I was right near the starting line behind the wall....couldn't see over the crowd and it was described to me by my friend Al Lucas......like a play by play......

I was not happy.......spent at least an hour walking around the pits before I could get the first hand account of what happened........1st is a lot like 3rd on a Hurst shifter.....except it's over to the left.....LOL.....It's funny now but it wasn't then.

One of our buddies nicknamed my partner ......"3rd gear redeye Simon" after that one.... Ouch !!!!

I/S ??? J/S ??? 1970.... Lots of good cars in both classes back then.....

Ed -Best place to get this info is from Greg or Martee Xakellis -- they have it all as Martee took class winner photos .......................let me know if you need contact info .

Ed are you asking about a National meet or WCS? The Summernationals in 1970 were held at York.

Rich Biebel · 08-17-2010, 01:36 PM

Yes Tony is correct and there was no class runoffs at York that year, we raced there too. It was run as a qualified field and off the national records, no indexes. 48 cars ? Not sure about that though. Boertman won the eliminator on Sunday...The event I was thinking of must have been 1971 at E-Town...

Jack Matyas · 08-17-2010, 02:05 PM

OK Ed here's the poop ..........contact Theresa Long at National Dragster -- she has the records .No one else kept them .
