1964 Mercury 289 NHRA rated GT horsepower 233

John DiBartolomeo · 06-13-2009, 07:39 AM

As updated a schedule as there was last night, it's Super Street, Super Stock, alcohol, then on to the pros. Comp runs between the pro sessions and following the second pro set is Stupid... sorry, Super Comp (I can say that if I want), then alcohol first round, Comp, Super Stock, Super Street, Stock, another Super Comp, SS , Super Street and Stock. But then they told Super Comp we would run our fiurst time trial second to last last night and then they surprised us by sticking the TT between the pro sessions, so as the saying goes: Schedule subject to change.

Negative.
1964 Mercury 289 NHRA rated GT horsepower 220.

Tony Janes · 06-13-2009, 08:33 AM

That is correct 220 Hp with automatic 223 for stick and 10 more for the after market heads.

Larry Munk · 06-13-2009, 08:42 AM

Which aftermarket heads? That may be worth 10

Bill Harris · 06-13-2009, 08:44 AM

Anyone know what happened to Vic Guilmino in stock? Did he break?

The actual wording is replacement heads. 10 more horsepower.

He lost to Joe Martens .044 over to .019 over. Vic was not one of the sixteen red lights in the first round.

Ahh, OK, Vic was listed as "NT" in the qual list, so I thought he wasn't in the field. Thanks.
