Default Project - NHRA Stock and S/S results 61-69

Greetings

This is my first post on Classracer..someone on HAMB recommended I post here.

Im creating a spread sheet of the top Eliminator and stock classes winners of the NHRA titles from 61-68

Welcome here Rat Patrol. Good to see new guy here, specially from way down under. Lots of very good & knowledgable guys here ,but what I found is guys visit here on occassion,. so give them time. The person that would of gone one on one with you on this project, Paul Ceasrine, unfortunately passed away recently. He was the most knowledgeable person I knew on stats etc on thi8s stuff. He was instrumental in helping me finding the history on my car, & also turned my thread into prolly the most visited one on the internet today. Well over 1,000,000 visits.

You should also post this up on the Stock and Super Stock topic on here.


Tons of wisdom and memories over there.

Thanks for the welcome...and I appreciate the interest and advice

I'm going to have to go over those threads carefully liteweight, I may need somebpic links for my 68 spread sheet.

For what its worth...I started this project because a couple of Chevy guys were talking loud about how Mopar could never beat Jenkins Chevy ii

I got on a mission...and at the same time reminded them about a guy named Jere Stahl.

Anyhow...Im glad they baited me into it

RatPatrol,
I'm not a Mopar guru but could it be
60 383/330 long ram
61 383/330 tandem-8v (in line)
Not sure the 413 was in there yet but I could be wrong!
And those kinda slow MPH seem right for the 383 not 413?

Yep your correct DeuceCoupe - the 413 MW didn't show till Spring 62


This is exactly the sort of help I wanted - I am just using what the various sources are quoting - but even they aren't perfect.


Thanks again!

Hello,
I am researching a story from late 1964 about Haydon Proffitt shipping 2 Plymouth s/sers lightweight cars to Australia in nov. 1964. One was a 1963 tan plymouth and the other a blue 1964 savoy 4 speed with the aluminum fornt end. Any thoughts?

Thanks

George
