Re: Pure Stock Musclecar Drag Race
 

There was a 57 Ford Red/Black running a supercharged 312 I think.It must have been a interceptor package or something.But that car was a sleeper also.The cars that amazed me were the Stude "Lark" 289 Paxton charged cars.
Next year more pit pictures.Plenty of very fine autos.Super Bee 440-6packs,57 Corvette 2 4bbls 4spd,Hemi Challenger in Plum Crazy purple,67-9 Firebirds 1 350H.O. red/white stripe and interior.I could go on and on.
Does anyone know if the Hemi Challenger was the one featured on Dream Car Garage?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Johnny Cat and I eyeballed that '57 Ford also...I'd never seen a Paxton setup on a Y-block before...heard of it, but never saw the plumbing...mega cool, and the color combo was awesome! How about Benoit's Eliminator? Talk about a cool car...and 12.80s? Rediculous... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

As shocking as that was to me when I got the ET slip, I'm pretty confident there's a good deal more left in the car! I still don't have mandrel exhaust on it...! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

I don't believe so. This one is pictured on the Aloha Dream Cars web site.

Re: Pure Stock Musclecar Drag Race
 

I was matched up against that neat 57 Ford at Martin and almost took him for granted. That thing has a top end like an F16. With an automatic and a gear, that thing would easily be in the low 13's maybe better. That's a lot for 312 cubes.

Between it and Stefina's Mercury, this is starting to look like Jurassic Park! Still waiting for a big Chrysler 300 and a J2 Olds to show up. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Pure Stock Musclecar Drag Race
 

it was great to talk to you also Rob, i have bean to that event every year since it started 96? or 97 i think, i always raced my 70 six pack cuda (yellow), i remember there was only 17 cars the first year and like 45 or so the second and 136 this year, i did get a chance to watch some of the raceing this year unlike most i am in the pits bsing with the other drivers, I did notice what apears to sound like a loose convertor in some of the buicks there, not picking anybody out but i thought a switch pitch convertor would be a no no, not that it matters much there is no cash to win,

Re: Pure Stock Musclecar Drag Race
 

What's a 'switch pitch convertor'?

Re: Pure Stock Musclecar Drag Race
 

Hi Marlin, i dont know how they work for sure. posten enterprises sells them, but you can regulate how much stall speed the convertor has from inside the car, Rich

Re: Pure Stock Musclecar Drag Race
 

Wow! Never heard of one, but sounds like a neat item to have at your disposal - would help compensate for various track conditions, etc... Still cheatin though https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Pure Stock Musclecar Drag Race
 

Was used on mid-60s Buicks I believe, to help get the hulks moving...uses a switch to change it from like 2800 stall to like 1800 or there abouts...kinda like an early lockup converter. There was a tech article about it in the GSXtra many many moons ago, so any Buick that's ever had a wrench turned on it has one, or at least it seems!

Re: Pure Stock Musclecar Drag Race
 

you cant hide that convertor when the pipes are singing in first gear,
