B/S ?
B/SA Jim Boudreau 10.02

I think Jimmy D, Karl Martel and I are the only ones in the 9s with an automatic.
A handful have done it with a stick.
Look for most of those numbers to be lower next year.

Thanks Dave cool info!

I can confirm there will be another MI based A/S 396 coming back out next year. In fact a young man I spoke with at the Sportnationals told me there will also be another car returning to A/S from NJ that hasn't been out in a while as well.

Next year in A/S promises to be very exciting indeed!

Bobby DeArmond was running a 427 as I recall.

My son Adam and I have made many nine second runs at 6 different tracks. Some in competition and some in testing. Set the NHRA record twice in 2012 with a best of 9.80. Our first 9 second run was in 2010. Our car is a 396/375 1970 Nova.

This is where things get a bit confusing for a newbie like me.

So, the NHRA allows someone to run an engine combination which was not available for that model year, yet I cannot run a cowl induction hood for the 350/255 combo because the engine option was cancelled before the cowl hood was released?

After checking the classification guide, I noticed that aluminum heads are also legal for the '69 iron block 427, even though that was never offered from the factory.

Thomas,it's not allways what was produced in the old days but what is accected by NHRA. Welcome to stock eliminator 2014,just have fun racing. I've been racing since 1962 and guys are bitching about the same things now as they did back in the day. You should have heard the crap when Ford brought out the original Cobra Jet in '68 you would have thought someone tried to kill Grompy Jenkins. This is from the eyes of a G.M. racer.
