I don't have the ETs, but when NHRA runs out of numbers for a category they use letters. You see this a lot in Super Comp. Although the numbers are issued with the letter in the first position, most people put it in the last position like 639A. He also might have requested that number, I don't know.

I think I remember a 10.50 for Ply. and 10.3x for Chev.
Could the odd number be a Temp # that he got from Mike
Rice at the races.....we have done that before when we have
recruited a buddy to drive one of out fleet!

John in his 64 Plymouth appeared to have a HUGE Holeshot!

Is his car a Wedge or Hemi I wonder?

No, it's not a temp number as he has had this number for many years.

I spoke to John today. John ran a 10.50 & the other guy was backing into him with a 10.28? Pretty sure that was the number. John knew he was going to get beat no matter what he did to spice up the engine.
John has a single 4bbl HEMI in that '64 Savoy. I'm pretty sure that this weekend was his first 1/4 passes with this combo (he used to run a MW in "A", both stick and auto catagories). He made a few 1/8 mile passes while living in TX.

Some numbers are issued with the letter at the beginning,some at the end. Michael Brand has 505B in Stock to match his ET number he`s had for several seasons.

Well, with the amount of views my stock and super stock videos from the Vegas divisional have gotten, it looks like I made the right decision last year to stop posting them. I will only post videos of Don this weekend. At least his videos are getting watched.
