The Jalopy Journal
I've been compiling all the national events, class winners, records from 1959-1971. The 409/380-4v was dominant in the B/S=9.50 class during...
Ok found it. Looks like Beckert switched over to a 150 2d sedan with a 265/180hp to prepare for the 1970 ban of the 265/195hp Duntov combo.
I have a question on Beckert's combo. For 1969, P/S=17.00 so 3338/195=17.12 But as of race year 1970, the 265/195 Duntov was banned x-Vette. So,...
Just studying this page hunting for clues about car, model, engine. Was the "T" only for winners or the winners and runner-up cars that went on to...
From this discussion & others I'm sort of concluding that the big cars were sometimes factored later than the X,F,A body cars, or sometimes not at...
Thats the problem - when analyzing any of these old pictures, it depends on what Race Year the picture is from. I do know that the 396/325-L35,...
This is Post 6713 pg224 quoting Colesy who said "I believe this was the 1969 Cars Magazine meet at Cecil County. Don Potter's 65 Chevy "Shiftless"...
Nice pic! I had your car down already as winning O/SA=15.00 class 71 Summernationals, no ET or MPH though, that's the results sheet I cant find...
I'm hunting for the 1971 NHRA Summernationals Englishtown NJ results sheet. Can't find it anywhere so having to put together scraps of info. I...
That was a pretty hot combo for a long time. 60 Pontiac 389/363hp-6v SuperDuty, held the W/P=10.60 class record as good as 13.28 at 106.5mph in...
For sure, I always crunch out the Wt/HP to make sure which car/engine jives with the class. For example here's records from Apr 1965: You can see...
This is a good article on the 54 Super Jet with the twin-carb 114hp 202cid. Picture underhood. Hard to see how a big long 308cid would ever fit....
All the sheets I've collected the 308 Jet shows up in 1964-66 but that's all. Bellovich car is there in 64 as a stick in W/P=17.00 class, then in...
Well mainly I used that flathead story about "letting in" the new cars (46-48 Fords) as a hope that HAMB would start letting Junior Stock go up...
Just found this! At W/P=27.30 this combo was perfect for the new U/S=27.00 class that came out in 1968 (V/S=27.00 in1969, same class). Too light...
