Anyone run a stick in 10.90?
 

I know its an outrageous thought. Several very competitive .90 racers don't use a throttle stop a few even footbrake, so it would be the hardest of the hard!

Have a 4 speed challenger that I think would be a lot of fun, just have to add weight, and etc.

I dont remember the guys name but there was a yellow Mustang 2 that ran in IHRA's 10.90 class. I know he won one National event and maybe two events (Presidents Cup at MIR for sure) when I was still working with IHRA. I thought is was cool that he did it with a manual trans. He might still be racing?

Bill Nuzzo, ran HR for a long time I think he runs SR now , very nice guy and a very tough racer. Joe

I can't remember his name, but there was a guy from the Phoenix area who ran a Mustang with a Lenco back in the early 90's in S/G. Also a friend of mine (John Campoy) ran a Vega with a Lenco. I don't think either one ever won a national, but both were competitive.

I've gone some rounds in S/G while footbraking, but that was with the old true 0.400 tree and incandescent bulbs (versus the 0.370 tree and LED), and I seemed to have an ability to see the start of the incandescent glow better than others.

I saw a blue stick shift Maverick taking names at the VMP NHRA Div'l race in the late '90s.

The blue Maverick is Ray Gottry, he's still racing it in D-2,and he can row throw the gears with that thing. I always loved to watch him leave the line on the mat.

Yea i have a video of him running at bristol TN in the late 90s. It was very unique to see him running a stick in that class

A few years back i had a Mustang with a 4 speed Lenco i ran in S/C. What a fun time. Sold it and went the dragster route. Live & learn. should've never made that move. Had WAY more run racing that than the dragster. I even finished 6th in point w/ Midwest Super Comp Series that year.

Mike, was that Vega burgandy, & sponsored by Miller Beer? I remember such a Lenco equipped S/G Vega in Div.6 in the early 1990`s. Dean Peterson, from BC currently runs a 460/glide 67 Mustang in S/G, but his old "Boss Hoss" S/G Mustang had a 351Cleveland/Nash 5 speed.
Also, Div.6 S/ST racer Bob Landery (sp) used to run a 4 speed in his Road Runner, although it had an automatic last time I saw it..
