Quote:
79 Gas Coupe and Sedan Nationals at Rockford Dragway, (or, was it Cordova?) beating the vaunted "Wayne County Speed Shop" Corvette, (Modified Production car) in the Final. The crowd went wild!!! It was turning mid elevens, then. Buddy took it to the mid-to-high nines!!! There were at least two others built, Butch Ball's car from the Pacific Northwest) and George Montgomery's similar car from Ohio, before NHRA got rid of the class. All of those cars ran over 130 mph with a turbo'd, 2-liter motor and no water injection. I don't think they even had an intercooler, but not sure about that. Car Craft had a big (several pages) article about Buddy's car, with lots of technical information. They ran 5-speed transmissions and pulled the wheels on every gear change! NHRA didn't do itself (or, us) any favors when thy axed the class.
