If I bought one, NHRA would add 247 horsepower to its factor before the ink was dry on my bill of sale...

That's my luck...

Probably still be competitive, though... LOL!

Old timer Quiz, what was Floyd's real name and why was he FLoyd?

Re: Cobra Jet article in NY Times
 

Bill and Terry, Floyd Lippencotte(sp?) was a pseudonym so his parents wouldn't know what activity he was involved in. What was the racers real name? Operating strictly from memory(always unreliable) my guess is Bob Muravez.

I think we can declare this thread unequivocally hijacked, but hearing no objection from the floor, I await your replies.

Oops, sorry John. I must have been typing when you posted

Re: Cobra Jet article in NY Times
 

It was Bob Muravez. I believe he didn't want his parents to know he was racing. It was Top Gas at Bristol, in I believe 1965 or '66.
