18 464Q G/SA Austin Williams, Burleson TX, '68 Camaro 11.110 12.00 -0.890

but that might be wrong because in the first race it says this

464Q F/SA Austin Williams, Burleson TX, '72 Duster 11.011 11.85 -0.839

I was in the '69 Camaro, owned by Butch Marlow, who also owns the duster I normally race. In warming up for the second race, the duster lost oil pressure so I hopped in his camaro, which had yet to be teched in for the second race.

The combo is '69 Camaro, 350, 300 hp. Looks like it will be going from 286 to 295.

And for the keyboard jockeys out there, I was ahead at the 1/8 mile and we were dead even at the 1000 ft so there was no letting off in my lane. It was just too close.

Hey Austin can't say I blame you on that one brother. Would you mind sharing the weather info on that run?

My weather station reads barometer kinda funky so I believe it was around...

65 deg
20% humidity
29.65 Barometer

That should be close...not sure what that converts DA to.

Was there any kind of teardown after these cars were eliminated? or was anything checked after the -1.20 and -1.22 pass. Carb, throttle body head numbers anything at all?
This deal of not checking cars after -1.20 runs is BS. This is just laziness on NHRA part.

Steel car will get 10 Hp. Plastic car will get 9 Hp.

The AHFS works best in the heads-up runs.

Has anyone noticed the spike in the price of lead today?

It looks like the 69 models are the only combo affected! The 67-68&70 models all can use different intake manifolds! According to Pat the 83 305 Camaro didn't get hp when the 85 & 86 went 1.20 under at Englishtown last year because it didn't have the same manifold selection available in the guide!
