All I know is one time that Lingenfelter guy set the record with his Corvette caused me to park my 250 HP 327" '65 Chevelle convertible. LOL

The only older (1962 and earlier) 'Vette I can remember in recent time were the Abbazia brothers from Connecticut. Ran D/S and E/S with a '61, pretty sure it was a fuelie. It had quite a bit of HP taken off (much more than they asked for) and was a killer D/S car, 10.50's I think. Other than that, most Vettes of that era seemed to run Modified/Gas classes back in the day (before I was born, sadly). Robert Brinkman has a GORGEOUS '61 as a SS/CM from New Jersey nowadays. Most S/SS Corvettes now seem to be '63-'67 and '68-'73 style(s). Good luck with your project Wade, as I LOVE any car that is a departure from the norm (Not a Camaro, not a jellybean car, etc).

Was going to be the first in the 10s at indy then broke it , rented a coptor flew back to his shop got repairs to only have a piece of silcon go into the carb. Some magazine did a story on it have it somwhere Them were the days. Tom.
I believe that was Car Craft.

Not sure of many, if any, OLD old Corvettes in SS/LA-MA in recent memory. Don O'Malley has a '64 327/250 (or somwhere around that rating) that runs well in SS/JA and KA.
MIKEY, I beg to differ with you but I was the first SS/MA in the 10's in 2003 according to bob Frey,Nitro Joe(he was there) and louis Bloom, back then when we did it at Joliet

Could have been SS/LA that ran in the 10's way back then; regardless, the car was super fast for it's day, running 10's almost forty years ago. Unless the stat people were counting your run as the first in the modern era/current weight break era.

Wade,

I think Ralph Feola ran SS/L at some point but not absolutely sure. Here is a picture of his SS/M car at Dover Dragstrip back in the day. I remember that his slapper traction bars worked well. lol

Which class did Marv Ripes drive John Dianna's beautiful vette in when they won a Nationals or Super Nationals back in early 70s?
