Re: Lookin for NHRA Stock Class ET/MPH from 1970-71
 

This one is said to have set the national record with a 12.27 @ 114.64mph in C/S, in 1963.

I saw that but still cant figure how a 3300 lb Swiss Cat got into C/S at 10.60 lb/hp in 1963. What am I missing?

Ha Mr. DueceCoupe, I like your "Gonkulater" reference, I still use that word myself. Who else does and who knows where it came from?

If you have a smart phone I can send you the record sheet I have by text message...

I had no luck trying to upload the page on here.

Go to http://www.network54.com/Forum/74182 and look up Werbyford

Well since Mike "outed" me, here is the story of WerbyFord:

I use DeuceCoupe as my token nod to Political Correctness (a neutral name for 32 Ford or Chevy II), but the Gonkulator got its name from the WerbyFord dialogue.

That's funny too, I don't hang out at all on the Ford boards, I did it once to find out how to get rid of my pesky POS '06 dually and Ford bought it back from me, thx.

There's a mention of a Gongulator from an American Sitcom from back in the '70's that I watched while back in the old country as a teenager, I'll never forgot that reference and I still use it today!

Without research, who else remembers the show?

Re: Lookin for NHRA Stock Class ET/MPH from 1970-71
 

Hogan's Heros was a very funny show. Watched it many times. It was from the mid to late 1960's. We used to watch it at the guys house who got me and my buddy involved in Drag Racing ....
Sundays sometimes after a day of racing at Island Dragway.....
His mother made us something to eat and we watched the show.

I am sure you can find it on TV now as there are channels that play nothing but old shows...

Schulz.....Klink....Hogan....and numerous others...

Schulz had all the best lines with his heavy German Accent...

"Hogan....Where is the streudel??? You promised!"

" I see nothing!!!!"

Re: Lookin for NHRA Stock Class ET/MPH from 1970-71
 

That's the one, Hogan's Heroes, and I still remember the Gonkulator episode. So Ross on FordFE.com named my computer program the Gonkulator, WerbyFord got added, the rest is history mainly on that site but some others too, inliners, StevesNova, etc.


I just started Gonkulating all the early NHRA history, 1950s-1971.
Hard to find comprehensive real et/mph so I am compiling a list from books, web, etc. Graphing them is very revealing.


Rich just sent me a list of the 1970 record holders, only 3 1970 cars in there, I am guessing the car/engine since they just list the make:
H/S GTO 400/350 112.55mph
F/SA Cutlass W30 12.23et
G/SA RoadRunner 383/335 12.40et
