Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners

Buster was looking good!

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

Check the et and MPH in stock. Shows what allowing all the "improved" parts has done to the classes. Same fun just more expensive and quicker. I was class r/u in 70 at 14.22 and thought that was Great.

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

and wining class was the ONLY way to get into the show monday... it REALLY meant something !

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

Yepper ! It was MORE than just a bracket race back then. You accually had to run HARD to get in and drive well.

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

Yes I saw that, as well as the other blank spots on the list...N/S, V/S, E/SA all disqualified, I'm curious on why if anyone knows. I also noticed Ray Allen's Chevy 56 mph run in K/S, looks like something happened on that run.

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

Ray probably only ran to 1000 Ft like the guys with the new cars and some others do today.......LOL.

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

What were the Ramchargers running that year, I remember only fuelers & floppers.

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

How interesting would it be if they just take class winners and top qualifiers to make a 64 car field for the Eliminator at Indy this year. We would see how fast the new cars can really go, it sure would be fun.

248H Stock?

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

But then NHRA would miss out on 64+ entry fees and crew passes. Most of the current "crop" of racers wouldnt bother to enter.

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

I've raced Indy with only a 64 car field, there were 10 cars in F/S back then alone. I'm sure that they wouldn't miss out on any less entries, mater of fact, there may be more.

248H Stock?

Ray Allen,,,,,,1957 Chevrolet Model #210 Beauville 9 Passenger Wagon,
'The Terrible Tangerine'
283/283HP,,,,,w/Fuel Injection, and a Muncie 4-speed,,,,
K/Stock,,,,,,NHRA National Record Holder,,,E.T.,,,,, 13.14

In 1969, these 1957 Fuel Injected Chevy Wagons were a 'perfect' fit
for K/S (12.50 - 12.99 wt/hp)

My guess on why his Class Winner E.T. was so slow,,,,,,his opponent probably
needed the 'holeshot of the century' to win.
He got the'holeshot',,,,,but left on the 'first light', and 'red-lighted',,,,,,HEE HEE

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

I think this is the right year. My good friend Willis Pruitt either won or runner-upped in N/S with a 57 210 4 door hardtop with a 283/220 3speed. He was tossed for having either NAPA rocker arms or push rods. Even though they looked just like the chevy ones they had NAPA part numbers. Willis was the local NAPA guy.

Casey,
I raced at Indy in Super Stock when only class winner got in. There was 21 SS/LA cars for class.

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

damn it would be fun to go back, but running off the records would take a few months to even out the new cars when they dropped thier records 2 seconds running heads up in class trying to get into the eliminator... YEEEHAA it would be too much fun... of course i'd be screwed too when bob shaw dropped my record 2 seconds :(

It was also a time when some guy with cubic bucks could turn your race car into a lawn ornament with just one pass!

Re: 1969 Indy Nationals,,,Class Winners
 

Sorry the post you refer to is for the Springnationals, I was looking for the Indy winners.


Thanks, Paul. My friend broke his engine in the first round of class (bent valve) against a racer with a broken trans. They were busy and could not remember who won.
