Here was Davids replacement for the 58 Chevy, same engine but with a glide and a brake. I still think the 58 was way cooler lol!

Anybody got a picture of Tom Neja's '57 Wagon?

Re: Wagon Pics!
 

Hey Bench Racer,

On that '58 Wagon, could that have been the same car that was one time owned by Roger Benefield out on the east coast? I know he raced one like that in IHRA Super Stock back in the '70's.

Jim you are correct. David bought the car from Roger around 1981. David had three different paint schemes on the car, and I have saw two different paint schemes from when Roger had the car. The story went it was once used at a nearby Biltmore Dairy and had a 235 six in it. The last time I saw the car it had been cut up and lightened somewhat and had a BIG inch nitrous motor in it. It was kinda like seeing a moustache drawn on the Mona Lisa lol. I had some fun times with my Brother and the wagon going to the races. The car always drew a lot of looks and questions anywhere it went. Don Jackson

Thanks Don, small world.

That car was a bad boy back in those days. I can remember when I hated to get the new Drag Review because I knew Roger had probably re-set the record again. Back in those days we had to run off of the record. I had (still have it) a '57 Wagon with a 265 that ran the same class as the car Roger had.

Chuck, I couldn't resist, it is a wagon.
We hope to have it in Medicine Hat this year.

Jim after David got the car The index on the class was hit at least once and maybe twice if memory serves me. The car got a lot of number one qualifiers. That 650cfm holley 2bbl was reworked by TRC and flowed something like 730cfm, it was almost as quick as a 4bbl on the 292ci engine. The index was likely pretty soft on that class. If a guy was to build a state of the art 283 production engine now and put it in the IHRA SS 2bbl. J/A class I would like to see what it would run. At the time the engine was a pretty trick Gene Fulton piece, I doubt it made a lot of horsepower but it would shift at 10,500rpm with no problem lol.I think now IHRA requires some type of carb. restriction in the 2bbl class.
