Rat:
On the double winners, that sheet I think is listing the class winner AND class runner-up R/U. Many of the class wins are "Brake Light" runs because the winner didn't want to re-set the class record. So in judging how fast the cars were, I find it's risky just to look at winning ET/MPH.


On the other hand, the R/U car was *probably* running flat out to catch the winner so usually their ET/MPH is a best effort. Usually.


Bacc:
The sheets I posted are all I have on Ed Collier, in fact I only guessed his car was a cuda til you confirmed that. Ed's son was on HAMB years back asking about pictures so you might see if that thread leads anywhere. I don't think it did though.
