We reset the GTE record, so these pictures are from teardown. Unfortunately, one of our new heads had a combustion chamber that was half a cc too small, so we will have to wait until next year to reset the record. We took them out of the box, assembled them and bolted them on. Just like Evan Smith, we should have checked all the numbers instead of taking them for granted! Hindsight is always 20/20. :-)

It was complete when the other "Buhler Boy" showed up for record teardown. Congrats, Stuart!

Thanks for all the shots,,,Mike.I appreciate your effort. I'm glad to see that Jim Parsons brought his 66 Nova SS out for the weekend. Its been one of my favorite cars for 4 decades now,,first as a SS/O car here in the NW throughout the 70s and still as a Stocker these days.You gotta love the old school stick cars that are still out there. Take care.............. Danny Durham

Danny,
I still remember seeing the Parsons & Harmon Chevy II at the Suffolk, VA, points meet in 1976 and wondering what the heck is that car doing so far away from home. Thanks to the Monsters of Launch video that question was finally answered.

Mike,

Thanks for several of the pictures of our car and the great comments to my wife as to how the car was launching.

See you next year!!

You're right Bob,,,, The"Monsters of Launch" video is one of several I have from www.Horsepowerheaven.com.I've just about wore it out,, along with "Four Days In May" and others. Here comes the shameless plug: Check out these great videos from Larry Pfister from HH. The off season is coming and they'll make great holiday gifts also. How was that Larry??? LOL!
Danny Durham ( take care,,Bob)
