SS/B Record
 

Did Pual Adams get the SS/B record at Virginia this weekend? I saw him go 8.97 with a back up of 8.99, great looking 1964 Fairlane.

Re: SS/B Record

Re: SS/B Record
 

Should be some great competition in S/SB. That 64 Plymouth from Ohio may have some low 90's in it. Congrats to the Blue Oval car......

Re: SS/B Record
 

Great runs Paul. TOP/SS at Bowling Green Should be great for bragging rights for Ford or Mopar fans but dont count out Brandon Wilkinsons Vette. You have to BE THERE to see this one...

Re: SS/B Record
 

Greeat! Are they from WV?

Re: SS/B Record
 

That car is BAD ***
Real fast and should win !st place in any car show.

Re: SS/B Record
 

What James said.

Re: SS/B Record
 

does any one have pictures of paul's car

Re: SS/B Record
 

Beautiful car for sure. There's a picture of Paul and the car on the D1 Website receiving the Classic Auto Body Best Appearing Car Award. Another car to watch is A.H. Adkins who isn't far off the mark either with his '69 AMX since moving from C to B.

Re: SS/B Record
 

Watch is the word. All these cars mentioned are planning on racing at Bowling Green TOP/SS meet Memorial day week end. With the long Week end this would make a great SHOW to see in person not just read about on the web. TOP/SS and TOP/STK run time trials Saturday AM and race till done Saturday afternoon evening.... What a great track to watch SS and Stk heads up racing.... Pizza Joe with a SS/BA Hemi is coming from Florida, and hoping to get Dave Thomas vette as well as ARTS vettes to run also. Ray Paquets Fairlane and AH Adkins will make this the best field yet... Hope to see you there in person.....

Re: SS/B Record
 

Lets see what the weather is like at Norwalk! There might be a fast MOPAR attending in S/SB........

Re: SS/B Record
 

Man...that is NICE!

Re: SS/B Record
 

Great looking car. He sure did his homework first before debuting.

Re: SS/B Record
 

does anyone know who built his engine?

Re: SS/B Record
 

Thanks to Paul for his support of TOP/SS. He is wearing his shirt in the winners circle and pictures of the car. We will see the first Heads up race at Bowling Green TOP/SS May 24, 25. This makes 3 Thunderbolts actively running. Matt Dahl out west and RAY PAQUET also here in Division 3.

Tim Davis in Indianapolis is the engine builder. He can be reached at Tim Davis Racing 317-244-8370

Read about Tim at:

http://www.popularhotrodding.com/eng...als/index.html

Both Paul Adams and Tim Davis are former champions over in the fast street car groups (NMCA and NSCA). The racing there was all heads up. Kinda like...go fast or go home. A few years ago Tim ran his fast street car in Comp at the Indy Fall Classic. After a run he would drive his car to the scales and then back to the pits. Thing was he made it several rounds in eliminations. Had the Comp guys scratching there heads. Yes we pumped his engine and it was legal for the class.

Best looking Tbolt I've seen but I have a couple questions. The carb pan seems to be a fab item and I thought SS required the original baseplate or nothing. The Tbolts came with an airbox. Can pans be built for any fresh air cars and dzused on in a similar manor? Also the teardrop seems to be 1 - 1 1/2 inch taller above the opening than original. That would be hard to police since I don't know of a spec on the height.
Again, great looking car as well as killer fast for as new as it is.

Re: SS/B Record
 

great!

Re: SS/B Record
 

Since I did not work the Indy points meet I have not seen the car in person. Should see it at Norwalk LODRS. If Dick Butler is correct about 3 T-Bolts showing up at Bowling Green Open May 24-25 running Top/SS, we will have three to compare.

Re: SS/B Record
 

Travis,
Matt Dahl is from Vegas. I do not think they are planning the trip East this season but Ray Paquet should be here. Also Dallas Kelly's Thunderbolt "Wrecking Crew" is getting along also. Completion date is not sure yet. THIS WILL BE another " Hot One" for us to watch. We need a Stick Vette to enter too. Hope Dickie Ogles is ready to run with us in Bowling Green.

Re: SS/B Record
 

Stewart,
Can't believe you would mention that with the "inline/crossram" Hemi intakes and the questionable hood scoop heights on some of the Hemi cars! LOL

Re: SS/B Record
 

Say it isn't so! Tim has always been a MOPAR guy?! LOL! I'm not surprised he is setting records. Anything built by him, that I have seen, has been fast. Congrats to Tim and the record holders! Wish I were going to the Beech...

Re: SS/B Record
 

So that does that mean a teardown is in the future?

Yea, I was a little shy about bringing the plate/scoop height up but since I'm building a GT car with a scoop, I'm trying to figure out what is legal under the scoop. On the carb issue, Chevy started it. Just kidding, but remember the old Tarantula (I think) BBC intake that turned the carb close to 45 degrees. I was a tech man then and I remember the stir it caused. Then in 94 NHRA drew the line on how much cross could be removed. 1/2 inch cross is still crossed, just not what we are used to seeing. As far as the AH scoop height, they look okay to me. Ha Ha Ha.

I'd like to talk to you about your clutch setup .Got a number where I can reach you. sway940535@aol.com.

Re: SS/B Record
 

Stewart,
I had a friend when I was in high school that bought a 454 Corvette new in ’72 and immediately went through the motor and put a Tarantula intake on it with an 850 Holley and I thought that was one neat looking set up. It was also one wicked street car too. By the way, I bet those Hemi scoops do look okay to you!

Re: SS/B Record
 

Stewart, if he was to use the airbox with the ducting, and did his homework...I am confident the car would go faster. Also, due to its location, the larger teardrop opening is not a performance advantage.

Re: SS/B Record
 

SSDiv6
Not talking about the size of the opening, its the height of the top of the teardrop. Taller allows for a taller intake. Air box could be a good setup but it would limit you on the height of the intake and most SS 2X4 cars seem to like the tunnelram type intakes.

Re: SS/B Record
 

Norwalk, Who will it be? the "HONKIN HEMI" or the "THUNDERBOLT"? Good luck with the weather. I think there might be a chevy ready for Bowling Green which will be really close too.

Re: SS/B Record
 

dick butler check your PM's

Re: SS/B Record
 

Stephan, nothing there??? yet?

Re: SS/B Record
 

There are four Super "B's" at Norwalk this weekend: Tony DePillo, Paul Adams, AH Adkins and ???? (white thunderbolt) Paul ran a 9.01 into the wind with around 2500 DA (low baro). Everybody else was teens.

I talked to AH Adkins for a while Friday, he's been having tranny issues (broke his good one) and sorting out a few other issues.

Re: SS/B Record
 

yep, it looks like Paul is the man to beat in "B". I wouldnt count out a certain Vette from TN :D He always has something up his sleeve :D

White Thunderbolt may be Ray Paquet.

Re: SS/B Record
 

Paul great to hear you got the record. Miss seeing you at the races but know you are still having fun. We were keeping up with what you were doing as we were at the NMCA race in Bowling Green that weekend and word soon spread that you had the record. You never miss a beat. Great job by a great guy.

Re: SS/B Record
 

Dick:

You are right it was Ray. He was running pretty good but Paul is THE MAN in SS/B
right now and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Paul works very hard on his racing and loves it. It will be very hard for any of the SS/B
guys to outrun him because of that. He doesn't like to get beat.

Re: SS/B Record
 

I teched Paul's Thunderbolt at the Bowling Green Hot Rod Reunion. Paul came down to enjoy the race and run with his friends in Nostalgia SS. He had the correct 4" tall teardrop hood on the car. No problem with carb to hood clearance. He did not have to alter the carbs or intake to change from the other hood.
