Looks like Jim Daniels set the MPH record for SS/AH 160.08 mph. Also Brian Oakes in SS/DA went a 9.12 for the record. John Armstrong power. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif There are videos on classracer.com. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Thanks for the tip on that site - I've never checked it out before. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Your Canadian buddy JA has those BB's worked out. I would love to see his corvette as lite as the Hemi cars. Maybe not an 8.20's run but I bet somewhere in the 8.50's in SS/AA. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I'm with ya, Sammy, but I'm afraid we'll both just have to keep dreaming...NHRA has those Hemis up on a pedastal...reckon there's any $$$ behind it? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

I was at New England Dragway for the IHRA event in Sept, they had great air on Friday qualifying, around 200 feet above sea level, if I remember correctly.
Armstrong was running SS/BA and ran an 8.827, and then an 8.826 in not as good air on Saturday. He was also wrenching on Wendell Howes SS/AA car for the weekend, and it was running the best I've ever seen it. (8.56 in the 2nd rd of qualifying)

[Salvatore]

Yep, Fast times! Wendell has to pick it up some because Jim Daniels is terrorizing the field. 8.50's in SS/AH will soon be like last years 8.70's. NOT fast enough. Wait till the new Ford Mustangs want to challenge for the top spots in SS/A, AA and so forth. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Ha! It would almost be poetic justice if those new CJets start knocking on the door of those AH cars/times... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Salvatore]

Yep, its the future! But remember, those CJets are not normally aspired.Too me its not the same. Ford did their homework and have NHRA in their back pocket. They should be commended. I am doubtful that GM or Chrysler will challenge on a factory style basis. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
