Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
I love comp!! My car partner is Jeff Gillette 757 B/ED record holder. His car heeps us busy, 354 cu in 918 hp @ 9800. Not a splayed motor, still a wedge Chevy. This car will humble you in a heartbeat. I wrench his car and he does mine. We are looking for a nice rig to put both cars in and tour together instead of running back and fourth between pits! Div 1 has got to be the toughest
 . Lots of racing back East. California land has gone sky high and we are losing prime raceways to developers. Mufflers on Wed nights keeps me from testing like we used to. Next year we are planning to run East and see how we do.  Back to work on the car.. Barry

Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
Got some fast A and B stockers out here. Tom Baird in A/S and Ed Bednaz in B/S. Also some good running Mopars in A-C Stock. Dan Fletcher in B/SA is tough to beat also. Joe Sorensen (A/SA) is out your way correct? Vinny Barone went 8 flat in A/SR last weekend in the heat and on a track that is just about 20ft. from being factored. (Numidia Raceway Div.1) You do have some good cars back here just like out West. Harry Holton is NO slouch and neither is Ray Bartons group. I heard of Jeff Gillette you guys set that record in Sonoma I think. Good air helps. Sam

Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
We did set the record there on a conservative run. Good air here is 500-1000 ft, averages 15-2000 ft. You have a hard time trying to hook and not shake everything off the car with killer air in a B/ED. Wind at Sonoma is also a big factor, big headwinds. Hey Rob, did you get the e- mail?

Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
There were three COPO Chevelles and one COPO Camaro sold in our area in '69. None had the heat shield.

Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
Barry: just saw the part about the email! Where did you send it? My computer has been down, and we've been catching the yenko.net emails here, but didn't see anything?
DOH! It just dawned on me, I hollered at you last time via my Hotmail account! I'll run over there and check...
