I knew it was Don Fizell but didnt want to mention names to protect the innocent....lol. . The story I heard was second hand and we all know how stories get distorted. He was told "no go" on the record because they (NHRA) couldnt certify the engine. Dont know if it was because they didnt have the right tools, enough time, or what. The racer I was talking to said he thoiught they didnt have the engine specs? That dosent sound right in any case to me and I told him so. The engine specs have to be in the spec book for the combo to be in the class guide. Im sure someone could fill in the blanks here but will they or do they want to. It just sounds like a lot of BS to me and we all know Don runs legal. He can afford to run any combo he wants and have the best prepare his engine. Anyone who owns "The Old Reliable" 63 Z-11 and acually runs the car on the track cant be a bad person.....lol. Now we know why NHRA dropped the indexes 3 tenths. Thats a killer run and only 1.18 under the new indexes......lol. Has ANY AA/S combo been anywhere near 9.40's ? How fast can the Mustangs really go when beat on?
