Hello Fellow Racers!
I have a 1974 Chevelle Stock Eliminator here in Finland. It was imported here from Texas in 1989 and now after a couple of years not being raced we rebuilt it and I finished sixth at Finnish Championship Drag Race Series with it. I know the car is NHRA Record Holder from 1985 and '86 but I don't know what class did it run in. From what I've read, the National Records can be found in National Dragster Magazine. I don't have those issues, so could someone who has them from '85 or '86 check what class this Chevelle has been running in? I'd like to have NHRA '85 & '86 ?/SA Record Holder texts on the car. Here it is how it looks now: Thanks! Niko / FHRA Stock Eliminator #570 Driver.

Yep, nowadays these cars run in J, K or L/SA. But back in the '80s I believe these cars ran in L or M/SA... At least when this car was imported to Finland, it was driven in M/SA.
But as said earlier, I'd like to know what class Record Holder this car has been. And actually that picture on the first post, it was shot right after the Top Fuelers had ran and the track crew had prepped the track a little. ![]()

I just flipped through a handful of National Dragsters from that period and the records for those classes were dominated by Olds, Aspens and Volares. Even checked the 1/8 mile stuff.

records can literally be week to week or moment to moment obviously. esp. in those days in popular classes.

John Lightner from northern Kentucky had a stocker similar to this in the 80s, perhaps it is his former ride.M.J.
