But the car doesnt fit class - not even close. The Fairlane 500 Convert fits D/SA=9.00: 3688/410=9.00 exactly with 427/410hp-4v If swapped to the next engine down, the car is now too heavy: H/SA=11.00 3670/320=11.47 with 390/320hp-GT So it can't be that car, unless NHRA let them swap a GTO engine in there LOL. Here's 4 possibilities, but nobody seems able to hunt down the car: 10.18 dick simon 67 fair2ds 390gt320-4v 10.11 dick simon 67 mustang2cv 390gt320-4v 10.49 dick simon 67 fairlane GTA 390gt320-4v 10.25 dick simon 67 Big Ford Ranch Wagon 427mr410-4v |

All I have for SS/ is a narrative from Drag News, poor quality in some areas so cant read it all.
SS/B Vanke 10.73 at 111.90 SS/BA Grotheer 10.83 at 117.3 Were they DQ'd later? No idea! SS/Eliminator Sox 10.63 at 114.5 Obviously all 3 brake light runs so as to not set a record! Do you have a sheet that shows the cars/years? I cant read the SS/H car (arthur evans). |

Re: Project - NHRA Stock and S/S results 61-68
Nice find, picture of Simon's 67 Fairlane ragtop in A/SA.
Best likely fit is 1968 A/SA=8.00 1967 Fairlane ragtop, 427/425-8v factored at 463hp (they vary from about 460-463hp back-calculating the factoring) comes out at W/P=8.01. Perfect fit to class, but so was the 427/410-4v Fairlane/Comet 2door post, and ran the same class A/SA=8.00. And that 4v combo, left unfactored at 410hp, was stronger - lots of wins. But the flat-hood 427-8v was factored too high. The Glass hood 427-8v combo was only factored at 472hp. The cold air was worth more than 472-463=9 hp or even 472-460=12 hp. The FLAT-hood FACTORED 427-8v wasnt a very competitive combo- I'm not sure if I found any national wins with it. Factored too high at least back then.
