NHRA U Stock dump that clutch

Carguy49 · 07-02-2025, 06:00 PM

I am not sure. It looks like TONS O' FUN to me.

I've seen that car before.Looks like he got some hp off..so 170 x 20 = 3400 + 170 =3570.
If Denny Ford can get his 62 409 down the track ,this one should be fairly safe

Seems to be having fun.
Looks like it runs under the index. That's all you need in U/Stock ;-)
I can think of better cars for that class LOL

Former U/Stock record holder ;-)

64 Impala SS (maybe) 283 2bbl NHRA 170 hp. Minimum weight w/driver in U/S is 3570. (Class Racer Info)
Something different. I like it.

Former U/S record holder also! Sorry Yac, I had to get that in.

Yeah, I was writing the line about better cars, and thinking what would be smaller, lighter etc. Thought of the Fox and then I actually had one. We ran V normally but we wanted to take advantage of the altitude correction at Tucson, with the turbo , so we did the U deal there.
Anyway ...Sounds like we may have a reunion going here..How about Paul Wong? The Witch Doctor? Koski?....

How much gear is in that car?

Jim Hawkins · 07-03-2025, 02:23 PM

How about this combo in a 66 nova. R/S 283/195/164 3122# 13.95 index
Have a nice 66 nova x stocker.
12 bolt slapper bars calvert shocks drum brakes no roll bar
Have 283 parts 2 barrel manifolds couple nova blocks complete 2 barrel nova core motor clutch trans. etc.
Living in Denver if we ever have a track here again probrably not good altitude deal!
I dont know why these slower class combos interest me.

That is good to know, especially coming from yourself.
Thanks!

Check with Bill Sempsrott.I'm pretty sure he set a record with that combo.

Jim, they interest you and I because they're affordable to build and still have fun racing. You don't need a 150k COPO, Cobra Jet. or Drag Pak to have a nice stocker.
