Duntov,

Thanks! That annual event is a BLAST! Donny Brasso I'm sure will chime in here and attest to this. He and I go head to head the last couple of years. He is "squeaky clean" stock!! and runs real hard. His is a very pristine '66.

Jim

My 1970 Chevelle SS used to run 12.7s @ 109-110 at KCIR.

My 59 has done a best of 103 MPH with ETs all over the place at LACR (2700' elevation). The thing couldn't 60' for crap. The C5 vettes were only knocking down 99 - 101 MPH that day. This was done with an oil burning, pinging 350, with unknown cam, nicely ported 186 heads, original T10, and a 3.23 geared Oldsmobile rear end. Staying in second gear dropped my MPH into the 101-101.5 range.

Thanks.

Its nice to em' still out there where they belong fighting the good fight. I miss seeing them at the track. Even the 1 gen Camaros and Mustangs are starting to dwindle.

I got some good pics from Paul too. I mixed them in with my Vintage
drag pics and use them as a screen saver. I've had customers actually mesmerized watching them on my laptop.
