Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

I bet they had WAY too much weight in the rear. It reminds me of a friend that bought a 1973 Plymouth Suburban wagon and pulled the 440 and 727 and put them in the back of the car. He then wanted to tow it to the apartment where he lived. We towed it with a nylon strap (poor college students) and I "piloted" the wagon. Holy crap, that thing was unstable at anything over 30 MPH. Moving 800 pounds from the front to the rear sure changed it's weight distribution and roll couples.

Here's a modern day AWB Dodge running brackets at Mokan dragway. A friend of mine said he was running a wedge with the crazy Hilborns. I had a set of MW Hilborns years ago and they were short rams going across straight out from the ports. Apparently this guy put on some elbows and tall tubes for the "caliope" look ala, BBC.

Very nice work sir.

Love the Grand Spaulding Dodge.

I remember listening to all the drag race commercials on WLS-Chicago (Dick Biondi ? as the DJ) y-e-a-r-s ago.

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

Fixed match races? I never thought about that but now that you're saying it, I can easily see that happening. Especially so if one of the racers is local. Fans would want to see their hometown favorite take down one of the out of town "big guns."

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

I have heard the same thing.

Super Stock Magazine.
What a great publication !!!

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

I agree,, Charlie,, my all time favorite magazine. I was sad when it all ended back in '99. Fortunately, I've got every issue, from the beginning in Nov. '64 to the final one. They're still a great reference for me from time to time.

Super Stock Drag Illustrated
 

Would Love to see Super Stock Drag Illustrated back again.

There are a huge number and variety of Stockers and Super Stockers running today.
You still all the cars from the 50's forward still running.
The variety is huge with new Pure Stockers, Crate Motor, Trucks.
Especially since they moved modified Production into the SS Ranks.

The interest would double automatically if all the Classification Guides were updated on the America cars and Imports were allowed to compete.

All those stories and the technologies just plain human variety of combinations.

It would be a hit publication today.

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

Not only is Arnie still going , he's going very fast , at the age of 82.
Saw him go in the low sevens at around 180 mph at MIR just
about 3 weeks ago.he ran match race with Warbuck and took 2 out of 3. The man is something else for a senior citizen.

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Arnie Beswick and "Dyno Don" Nicholson back in the 90's down at Scribner, NE. They were match racing Arnie's Pontiac and Dyno's 62 409 Bel Air.

Talk about history! Both very cordial gentlemen.
