That's it!!! Where do I trade in my 69 427 SuperStock camaro

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

I only heard one shift? What transmission do they use?

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

A powerglide. They call it a C 2.

Greg

Its a Fordomatic 2 speed from the early 60's I believe, they just upgraded it and beefed it up alittle. Killer little transmission, but it does look similiar to the PG. Hey it came from the Manufacturer so it must be OK?? Just like the r&p steering setup off a Pinto on the LT1's and LS1's right Greg?

Later RJ

mannymen,
That is only 1.38 under the 10.20 IHRA index. I wonder if Bakers 1.25 rule applies and he gets some weight on Monday??
The NHRA index is 9.90. = 1.08 under
Still a nice run!!!

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

Adger IHRA is 1.400 in the 1/4 to get hp.

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

That's nice to know. We got threatened with 1.25 when Beard was driving for me. I just assumed it ended up 1.25.
You said 1/4 mile... is the 1/8 mile different?

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

In IHRA, 1/4-mile HP hit at -1.40 under, 1/8-mile is -1.25 under.

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

Nice run. Was this during the race? Where were all of the spectators?

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

It was 2nd round early Saturday AM.

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

No Herb,
This video was 1st rd. he had the Bye for the Number 1 Qualf...It was on Sat. Late in the Day.Super Stocks first rd started at 4:30pm

As for Spectators in the Stands.The N.C. People around this part likes the Pro Mods & Pro Stocks and with IHRA not running them I am sure that kept alot of people away.Plus it still cost the Spectators $35 to get in on Sat.
Only had
4 T/F Dragster
7 Pro Fuel Dragster
8 Prostalgia Funny Car
2 Jet Trucks
1 Wheelstander

Last Year same Price for the Spectators but around 40 or more P/S & P/M

I ran into Rockingham Saturday afternoon for a few essentials and a young man behind me in line at the Food Lion saw my "crew" wristband and asked my assessment of the crowds. He was well aware that there was an event going on at the track, and used to go every year - but he would be "damned" to spend the same money and see less fast cars. He specifically said that he liked watching us sportsman racers, but he wouldn't spend "no 35 dollars and not see any pro mod cars." I said ADRL will be in town soon, and he said, "I know, I will be there then."

Aaron Polburn kept saying it was a successful program with the new changes - I beg to differ. I was not impressed with the crowds Saturday night, and it was a perfect night to be at the track.

And Roy Hill's Mustang was bad ***!

Beth ,you have a PM. Tell Alex THANKS for the use of his spare MSD box.

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

It's only fair, GM did not have a manual rack and pinion so they asked and it was okayed to use one from a Pinto. Ford's 2-speed was an antique so they probably decided to slip in a GM Powerglide. I just wonder when the sanctioning bodies found out the C2 was really a Powerglide?

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

The two speed trans in the CJs are a after market GM power glide built by Joels on Joy racing transmissions in detroit very nice piece.

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

I thought the trans had to have the same number of forward gears excluding overdrive as it comes on the factory car. I havent seen any new mustangs that don't have a standard 3 forward plus overdrive. Am I missing something in the rules?

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

Floyd,what's a gear or two either way?

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

I'm pretty sure in Superstock you're allowed to run any speed auto, as long as it's of the same corporate brand.

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

No MORE than the OEM number of gears. That's why a car like a 2002 Camaro which came with a 6-speed manual trans can race stock or super stock with a 5-speed (or 3 or 4-speed) manual transmission.

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

That's why a 327/250 h.p. combo that came with a glide, can now run a three speed? Maybe I'm all wet, but I'm pretty sure that's the new gig.

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

Can a superstock 69 camaro 427 L88 run a powerglide??? I thought you had to run a 3 speed in that combo for Superstock

Re: Video of SS/BA CJ Mustang (Roy Hill)
 

Previous to this season, that was correct. That's the new NHRA. Crate motors, ah...you know the drill...
