Default Re: NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: J Giermanski</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I am Stan's son James. Just to set the story straight, we did screw up a bit. We cut a coil off the front springs to lower the car over the winter. It wasn't a problem until now. Dad DID NOT LOCK THE BRAKES, he may have been a little harder than usual, but in 18 years of running the car it is not his style to lock them up. The tires hit the fenderwells and it got ugly. He straightened it out and no harm was down to either car. We know we have a front end issue now and it WILL be corrected over the winter. That being said we are back in good graces with NHRA and will continue trying to set the F/SA record. The car is an all steal '68 Camaro 327/275 powerglide car. It has a Q-jet, iron 1.94 heads and a .390/.410 lift hyd cam. It has been as fast as 10.72@120+ Really cool to see my dad and the car talked about here. Come see us at Atco, E-town, MP or any of the killer Division 1 tracks next year.</div></div>
