Yeah, we did set a record or two back in the day ...........And I do miss that Pontiac .

Re: NHRA National Records

Yep, it's possible that finding those records is not easy. A big thank you for those who have given a look into their archives, though! But I'd really appreciate it if someone found the records...

Jack, you got a PM.:)

who did you buy it from?

Re: NHRA National Records

We had a car just like that here in Div. 1 for quite some time. Bob Silfies built it originally and sold it to Rich Hoerth and was driven by the late Mike Scott. It was powered by a 400 small block and ran M/SA. The car in the picture looks almost identical to it.

Re: NHRA National Records

Sorry guys I haven't had time to check in much on the last couple of days.

Jim: I bought it from another Finnish Stock Eliminator racer, but I asked him that question. Unfortunately he could not remember who was it.

Dave: That's interesting information! When this car came in Finland, it had a 350 SBC under the hood. But of course it doesn't mean that this car could have ran with a 400 as well.

Here is a picture of this car when it was imported to Finland. Maybe the Obi Wan paint scheme with Obi Wan's head on the door might bring back memories to someone?

I have a 1974 Chevelle Stock Eliminator here in Finland. It was imported here from Texas in 1989 and now after a couple of years not being raced we rebuilt it and I finished sixth at Finnish Championship Drag Race Series with it.

I know the car is NHRA Record Holder from 1985 and '86 but I don't know what class did it run in. From what I've read, the National Records can be found in National Dragster Magazine. I don't have those issues, so could someone who has them from '85 or '86 check what class this Chevelle has been running in?

I'd like to have NHRA '85 & '86 ?/SA Record Holder texts on the car.

Here it is how it looks now:

Thanks!

Re: NHRA National Records

John Lightner from northern Kentucky had a stocker similar to this in the 80s, perhaps it is his former ride.M.J.

Re: NHRA National Records

Hi, Dale!

I'm sorry to hear you broke the o-ring on the Mustang. Well, better luck next season ;).

Can't wait to see Merc'!

Thanks for the information, Mr D. C.

The car came to Finland from Texas, so he might not be the guy who sold the car to Finland, but that is a great guess. I'll try to search and I will see what I can come up with. Thanks!

Re: NHRA National Records

The chevelle in Div. 1 is owned by Tom Baiori (aka Beef).It has gone pretty quick at times,but at 4000 lbs it's a parts breaker. He's slowly working on some chassis work to
stop a flexing problem with it.

Re: NHRA National Records

Sorry for delay post on this car.. it run o/sa and best et was 12.56@105 and then got bumped to m/sa. John.
