Default Re: High Desert Raceway and Bernie Longjohn

Eeeeek!!! I will have to ask my brother what it ran. I thought he told me the car would do a low 14 second 1/4. A stock 427 Impala should have been able to pull a low 15 second 1/4 and this car was not stock and very stripped. Hopefully I was wrong on the 10 flat 1/8 mile. If I ever find a copy of the paper, I recall it being listed. I also (used) to have several of the time slips when I got the car but that was in 1979 LONG before I cared about keeping documentation.

E-mails have been sent by both myself and my brother to Mr. Longjohn. Hopefully he will reply. Seems he knew my sister-in-law pretty well as she was the starter at many of the races when she wasn't driving.
