Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

I was kinda surprised to see a Camaro run that fast in SS/AS. Who's car is this? Is it the old Mudd car?

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

Nope old Gardnier car from D-1

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

Thanks for the info.

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

Gary Wisecarver changed alot on the car and they have been testing some at Piedmont. That car works very well.

Hi, any idea what combo he is running such as cubic inch and transmission? I'm building a SS/AS car and am just curious what others are using.

Motor is 394, not sure on Tranny.

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

Thanks. Wonder what heads he is using?

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

Double check the rules but I think you can run just about any head GM makes including splayed valve heads. I know you can run canted valve stuff.

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

What I think is great is that a "69 Camaro" is waking up this other wise dead class!! Look out little Seabring a big fat red CAMARO is lurking in the back round.... lol

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

any one have a pic of car they can post

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

Sean; why do you want to see a pic of this car? Oh yeah, it's a real race car (i.e. Chevrolet). LOL

Here's the link to the pic on DRC.http://dragracecentral.com/DRCPhoto....r=100#indextop






Dan Moore is #1 !!!! :D

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

OH YEAH i saw that car in Valdosta

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

There would be more in this class if they would do away w/ or lower the minimum weight...wonder why it's not lbs per cubic inch anyway?

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

It is 8.50 per cu in. It just has a min.

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

Is this the same Wisecarver that ran IHRA Hot Rod class in the eighties? I think his wife had a car too.

Wayne.

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

Tracy its 8.50 per cid. Min is 3180 no mater how small you are with an auto. I know this class very well, more than most. The biggest reasons are purpose built motors and old b/a motors. That car is fast I love it now there is some competion in ss/as.

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

I have it on good authority that someone is building a FORD of all things for this class. Should be out mid summer and may actually run pretty good. Hmmmmm.

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

I understand the 8.50 per ci rule, just wish you could go below minimum. At that minimum the smallest engine you can build is 394. I considered running it but had to give up too much weight for my little 362 and wouldn't come close to being competitive. Just my opinion because based on my combination...a little biased I guess.

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

Not the Wisecarver that ran hot rod but his brother gary. Gary ran some SS back then. Tracy remember on Sunday SS is a Shoe Polish race, Anthony just won Atlanta going 9.50 in SS/AS

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

The biggest engine I ever ran in AS is 380". And it was a beater engine with 4 sleeves, a big crank and steel rods. And a powerglide. But I went 8.92 in TX with it in 05. However the extra weight turns out was hard on them pinion gears :P I went 9.08 with my 352" in AS last year at Milan too.

Anthony told me last year he was building a Cobalt for AS. Not sure where it is, if something changed, or he was just bs'in me... whatta you think?

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

Looks like a 1967 Model to me.

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

Yup; round-top wheel openings and a vent wing...

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

He'll should have it out soon. Suppose to be pretty fast too.........Not that he will ever show how fast it is.

Re: Richardson SS/AS Camaro
 

This is my father's old car. We had it for a long time running it in SS/IA and then in SS/HA. The car was actually 68 RS from the factory. The car was changed to a 67... We think that happened when the Taylor brothers had it, but that is a guess.

Never the less, it is great to see the car out again. This car has a very interesting history. It has been running Super Stock for a very long time. Congrats to Jon on the performance of the car!!!
