Since it was running C/S, I have to assume it was running the top option Tri-Power 389, which was 360hp, according to Class Racer Info. The next lower hp looks to be 335hp, with 1 AFB 4-barrel. That engine would run a lower class.

The Royal '66 also ran C/S. I assume that was the highest class a '66 could run, in '66. Not sure tho.

Just looked back a few posts & realized that you were asking about the '69 D/SA Judge. From everything I can find out, D was the highest class a '69 could run, that year. That would mean that the D/SA '69 Judge was running the 370hp RA4 engine. As far as I know, the NHRA min weight for a '69 has always been 3500lbs. But I have no idea what the NHRA hp factor was at any given time, back in the old days.

Looks like the H/SA=11.00 runoff race.
Winner, Merkle in the heavy Fairlane Ragtop 428CJ.

R/U, no name but could it be record-holder Mosley?
Car says "Movin On"
65 Cat 2+2, 421/356-6v fits class, 4055/356=11.39

DC - The Poncho is JackBriner, winner H/SA. I think the Pegersen pic was the final run off against Merkle.

Here’s another.
