Default Re: Interesting thought

I have a few pics of the 69' Judge Drag car, that Joel campaigned.I have to find them.
Joel was looking forward to the release of Pontiac's RAV motor, which if ever released in a car, would have easily dominated the street/strip ranks at that time. Conservative estimates put the HP ratings somewhere at 525HP. They have been dyno'd in stock form at 540! eeesh. I'm kind of glad that didn't happen. Although lots of racers bought them. I have a older friend/racer who had one and ran 10's back in 1978!

Joel on his Drag Car 69' ran a Top-Catted (his version of the Royal Pontiac Bob-Cat treatment) RAIV motor I believe. It has been in Cars magazine. I just have to find that issue, its somewhere.

Since someone posted a pic of Motion, I thought I'd share a few with you. Showing Joel's 2 favorite cars. Chevy's and Pontiacs. Notice the Motion hoods on the TA's and Birds.And the USA-1 license plate.
The 455 Super Duty (Joel was very hot on this in 1973) is shown with a holley carb, edelbrock torker intake, and of course the Motion Sticker on the valve cover, on an otherwise stock Pontiac engine compartment. Even has Air!!
