Hold up, time out. LNorton, forgive me but did you say that your 231/100 runs 12's? That's impressive. How deep into the 12's does your car run?

Dont forget about Harry Doolittle on the West Coast. He runs the N/SA 02 Firebird with the 231 CI V6. I think his quickest qualifying time was 12.11 in Pomona. I wouldn't be supprised to see him in the 11's this year.

" 5 3231 N/SA Harry Doolittle, Wickenberg AZ, '02 Firebi 12.112 13.30 -1.188 "

Yup, We went 12.83 at Cecil County this year.

And Doolittle has a bad piece!

Wow...I had to look that up. That was in a higher class than he is running now. It was G/FIA back then which is like M/SA now.

HA, HA, HA...ok Lee you got me, but you did make me laugh. Of course I'll root for you and every one else's faster V6's! You remember Buddy Ingersol's twin turboed & intercooled V6 Regal that was so quick, the 500c.i. V8 Pro Stockers couldn't keep up with him :O !!! Oh how I dreamt of a Buick GNX that out of the factory couldn't be beaten in a drag race by a Porche Turbo Carrera (back in 1987)!!! Oh how I wish I would've had the pleasure of racing the baddest V6 American production Car against the baddest Porsche (period) of that year, and matching it stat for stat!!!

For that matter there's a '68, or '69 Ford Mustang that runs in Super Stock with a 6cyl engine, and at Bandimere Speedway I believe it was running somewhere between the high 11's, and the low 12's. I must say though, the 13sec & slower Stockers are the Arizona Cardinals of Stock Eliminator drag racing...GO CARDINALS!!!

Man Gary I love your enthusiasm. You may just convince me to run my 289ci/2bbl in my boat.

If that 2bbl is a Holley 500cfm'er, hold on to your hat (and keep that life preserver good and tight), because I believe they were as competitive against 4bbl's as a 340 Mopar, or a 351 Cleveland Ford were/are against some big blocks!!!
