Here is what was posted on the Buick site.

Chevys rock.


<font color="red"> Top 6 is all Terry could remember.
1.Julie Pennington.11.63 1969 L88 Auto
2.Jimmy Johnston 11.72 1969 L88 4spd
3.Bob K. 11.80's 1970 Hemi Cuda auto
4.Mark Weymouth 12.01? 1971 LS6 Vette,auto?
5.Copo Pete 12.15? 1969 Camaro ZL1 Auto
6. Rob Clary 12.20's 1969 Yenko Camaro L72 Auto
These are from memory only,(Terry's)but should be close </font>


Rob ran his best ET to date, a 12:26, his 60' times were good but they did not spray the whole track, so even with the auto he was loose in second. Rob thinks the car could get into the teens if he can get it to hook in second.

He said Pete was having some problems, not for sure what, but knowing that crew, Pete will be on his game today.

I know Pete was having issues with his carb at the sYc reunion. Sounds like the carb problems continue to exsist.

I know their were some Mopars that were suppose to have certified this week. I was wondering how well they are running? That is another thread of its own but if anyone knows ????????????

Good to see members of the sYc doing so well at the Pure Stock drags.

Hats off to the Pennington crew for tearing down, making their 11:54 official.

In all, 4 of the fastest 8 were 69-71 Corvettes. 6 of the 8 were big block Chevys.

And for all the non believers that were in the crowd, Terry and crew P&amp;G'd Friday, then pulled a head, exhaust manifold and the camshaft after the final run on Saturday. Everything was available for everyone that cared to take a look. The tech crew inspected everything. 11.54 @ 121.++, driven by a GIRL !!

Rolled in at 5:30 this morning...and just like clockwork the kids were climbing on me by 7:30! As Eminem says, "Back to reality"! LOL!! Great to be home, though...

Anyway, about Stanton...super weather both days, and the Bow-tie brigade flat took it to the rest of the field! We found some more ET/MPH in the yellow submarine...the new Poly bushings helped out my short times, but all that energy is now making it to the track and it's hazing the tires *HARD* on the 1-2 shift...like kick the rear out hard! Lots of "pucker" when the rear steps out at speed on these tires...so, the valve body is coming out, as I'm pretty confident there's a tenth and some MPH to be had just from softening the shift. For a heavy Camaro (3746!) she ain't running too bad...

Big Dog had Julie going just filthy fast in the 'Vette, and even his bonehead brother Scott jumped in the car and ran an 11.58 while drifting the car in a couple gears! JJ's 'Vette was just a tick back in the 11.60s running his usual HUGE MPH (121-122!)...Pete's car was fighting him the entire weekend, but he was still going low 12-teens, but had a tough draw against an LS6 'Vette that had seen some 12.0s. I drew Spetzman's 440-6 SuperBee for either the 3rd of 4th year in a row!

Robert,

How close was your race with the certified SuperBee of Jim Spetzmans??
