Dave Marvosh and Bill Vaughn 1973 Catalina Stock Eliminator

[1971t37]

Looking for any pics of this 2 barrel, 4 door that raced stock eliminator and V/SA from 73-74?

At Tri-City Dragway they had a powder puff eliminator during the weekly shows and one of their fellow racers (Terry Clark) wife Donna drove the car when they were home. She won almost every week.

I believe you mean he won his class at the US Nationals.

Yes

No 2-barrel 455 available in '73.

400 2-barrel would have put it in a higher class.

Looks to me like it would have had to be running a 350 2-barrel, in order to make a class that low.

This may have been a one-of Stocker. Certainly the only one I've come across.

Anybody know if the car was a nat record holder ? There are words over the door, which I can't read. Indy class winner more than one year ?

I do have 3 more pics that weren't posted, of the "Tijuana Taxi".

Don Himes had a Lemans wagon with the same drivetrain. It ran under the record, as a street car, which they all were supposed to be back then.
The original factor put them in a 22 lb. class, where V8's were allowed at the time
Now they are topped out in U/SA, and i doubt they would run very far under.
BTW, those cars had to use a 400 Turbo at that time.
