Larry, big congratulations on the R/U. It was great seeing you and Patsy again. I will see you guys next year.

Does anyone have the list of record setters? et mph combination.

Ken Miele · 10-10-2016, 06:50 PM

B/SA heads, Gary Richard vs Ryan Horensky

Stockers

Low Buck Bob Don.

Mike Delahanty · 10-10-2016, 08:17 PM

And more Stockers. I like Stockers.

Joe Mocci. This is a 350-2bbl combo. Greg Anderson runs one on D5 too.

Don Fezell. The first Stocker on the 8s.

D1 Stockers are clean, and lots with show car paint and body work that are FAST.

Like this one too

Tim Bishop left his Combine in the field to come racing.

Round 2 pairing.

When I saw the name "Jordan" on this Camaro on Thursday, the name Frank Jordan from Gettysburg immediately popped into my mind. Frank was one of the better racers back in the 60s-70s Jr. Stocker days with a 57 Chevy - and into the days of the stock to SS transformation. I bought my first "race" Powerglide converter from Frank back in 1973. I asked the driver - who turned out to be Kevin Anderson (the first name on the door) if that was "Frank" Jordan - and it was. Frank and Kevin did lots of racing together starting in the late 60s. Frank built this Camaro stocker before he passed away and Kevin now runs the car with Larry "Bub" Miller behind the wheel.

Kevin Fogerty has owned his 65 Impala for 47 years. It started out as a 283/2 bbl/PG driver from Philly to Fort Bragg. When the 283 died he swapped in a 327 so his Mother could use the car while he was in the service. The car got turned into a race car in 1971 - first with a 283/220 and a 4 speed. I first met Kevin back in the early 70s - he was a regular at Maple Grove and always a contender to win Stock Eliminator there - as well as Cecil, Atco and on the D1 circuit. The car is a multi time national record holder. He now runs 327 PG combo that was .92 under at the Dutch.

Check out the first digit of the competition number on Thomas Sundstrum's 68 CJ Mustang. The number 8 means is for drivers outside North American - he's from Sweden. Thomas travels to the US about 4 times a year to hit races on the east coast like the Dutch. Thomas loves his Class Cars - he's the president of the Sweden's Stock/SS Association. Jim Morgan keeps the car up for Thomas.

That's Thomas on the far left. He had 3 of his Swedish colleagues with him - Ake Hedberg, Bjorn Boudesson and Stig Othosson - all class racers too.

The story is that a local Pro Mod racer bought this tractor with the National Event type counter-rotating tires to be sure the track had plenty of bite when he wanted to test.

It's not too often that the "Boss"Ken Miele gets his photo pasted here in Class Racer. I want to thank Ken and Jack for the privilege to contribute to a "Live" report on their turf.

Yo Ken! Great youtube video! Can you change my name from Booby to Bobby so I can send to grandmom and/or run for president someday without being hassled by unfair media outlets about potential locker room talk. Haha thanks.

It was great to meet Mike Delahanty who does such a super job with his live reports. Having Larry and Patsy doing live reports is always great, and along with Jack Matyas, it makes for lots of great info and photos.

I also have to thank Dave Mohn our D1 director, the NHRA crew and the Maple Grove crew for giving us a great track. I know we all expect to have a good race track at every race, but its not always possible. The last race of the year for us in D1 was good one, with a well prepared track and a great crew, the race was run in a timely fashion and ended the same.

The first video is the Super Stock final followed by the Stock final
