Smitty-

Michael Mans was R/U, Brandon Wilkinson won.

The 454 combo is a 1975 engine . It's factored to 325 in GT. Looks like the small port head is 45 hp less .
Sounds like the truck motor in a passenger car. I wonder how they designated the difference back then, or did they? Maybe it is a superceded truck head.
Where's Dwight when we need him?

GT/AA Index: 10.40 (+/-): -1.118 GT/AA Index: 10.40 (+/-): -10.301
Prior rounds:
Qualified: #26 9.277 141.06 #41 9.304 147.94

Stinnett's car makes a hard move towards the centerline after the launch and he slows. Oddly, something triggered the right lane lights at 0.099! Richard is the winner in GT/AA.

Got to love Drag race central!!!

I thought was Jay Higgins and James Caro in the finals with that Stratus fro Louisana?

Aaron Allison · 07-10-2008, 08:29 AM

Higgins and Caro were in the final of SS/BM and Brandon won the whole race last year I believe. Also I thought that you could not put a big block into a FWD conversion GT car? Did they change this rule or was there never one.
