Any of you old timers recognize this NHRA piece?

[Chevy454]

I've never seen one of those. It's VERY interesting!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif


You have a PM........................ http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Chevy454]

Here's a better picture of what's inside...the original NHRA weight/hp factors...here's a page from the Mercury section that I scanned for my buddy Brian Stefina, who runs a '58 430/400hp Monterey in Pure Stock... that car was THE most powerful car of the '50s!

Hmmmm...

I think I've seen one of those books before.

Good score Rob! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Belair62]

Verne I have NHRA pocket rule books for 61,63,64...and a Standard 1320 for 63-64 if you want to know or see something

[Verne_Frantz]

Rob,
Is there any other information in the book other than weight/hp factors? Such as allowable engine specs/parts per class?

Verne http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Bob,
I already have all the rule books from '59 into the '70s.....thanks.

[Chevy454]

Nope, this is just the guide with hp/weight factors which determine in which class each make/model/engine/hp/trans will run...

[COPO PETE]

So what's your Yenko suppose to weigh???? And my Camaro with the aluminum block??? Howz about a 69 6PAK Bee????? How does that compare to our Michigan weigh ins????

[Verne_Frantz]

What's the latest year the book includes Rob?

Chevys...............not Mercurys........... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

[Chevy454]

1950 to 1980

[Chevy454]

Finally acquired a super rare NHRA piece I've been chasing for a while: an original NHRA Tech Manual, from Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, PA! It's chocked full of NHRA tech bulletins, original NHRA blueprint specs for each make/model, original fliers & payout info from Maple Grove, and lots, lots more, all from 1950-1980...well worth the wait, and a great bookend to the NHRA class guide I got a while back...

Rob,
Congratulations on a great find!!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
I would be extremely interested in anything in that book pertaining to "W" block motors.
You can pm me and we can work out details if you want. Please reply.

Verne http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

[Chevy454]

Verne: give me a target year(s) and I'll get ya a copy...

[Verne_Frantz]

'61, '62, '63 Rob http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I'm especially interested in data on any parts released and approved mid season for those years. That looks like the book that should have that info. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks a bunch. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
