Default 1966 NHRA Results Analysis

Here is a color keyed extended analysis of results from Winter, Spring, and Indy Nationals. I plan to add links to some other helpful threads but to get started here is what I have compiled, in the following posts.

Here is a key to some of the colors & abbreviations.
Other than thumbnails I dont know how to post these full size so for now you would have to click on them.

Here's the 1966 Winternationals. Comments welcome of course. Some riddles remain & of course these things are never error-free but here we go:

Here's the 1966 Springnationals. Note the ones where it says "I have no idea". Anybody remember?

And the 1966 US Nationals at Indy.
In B/SA=8.70, the only 62 Chev that fits is a 409/409.
Among other mysteries, how did an AUTOMATIC 409 sneak in? Same way all the Automatic 406 & 427 steel body Fords snuck in?

Finally, this is a reserve post where I will put tables of RECORDS for that year. Not quite done with those yet but coming.

Meanwhile here are a few other links re 1966 Stock & SuperStock:

New 390GT Comets at Pomona. Did they already have the non-production aluminum intakes? Probably. Did the hood scoops work? Probably not, NHRA booted the GTO scoops from Pomona, not in production yet.
