Dick, I'll try to do the best from memory right now. 1. pounds per C.I.D. .01 spot for every half lb. per cube. Started at 4 lbs. down to 11.5 lbs. 2. Brodix spec head, , cast intake only. 3. Dry sumps add 50 lbs. external pump, add 25 lbs. 2 - 4's add fifty lbs. 2 speed powerglide, deduct 8% weight, 3 speed deduct 5%, all this based against a clutch assisted trans. 4. True clutchless add 150 lbs. We had our own P and G gauge, fuel tester, scales, and and an oxygen sensing device I believe I bought from George Bryce, (don't quote me on that) that would check for any fuel additives in the oil. We had an altered that was a few hundreths ahead of us, but he redlighted before the finals that year, at 5 lbs. Last two years we won, once with a powerglide in a vega at 9.5 lbs by .0002, and the next year in a cobalt with a G-force at 11 lbs. by 1 10 thousanths of a second. Just letting you know how deversified, and close it was at different weights, and combos of all types. You have to realise, we had to frame some rules to not exclude cars, because we are in a remote area. But this track has ran no break-out racing since 1967, so we had a base. Touching on the main basics, but you get the drift. The races I'm talking about are the year end BIG SHOOTOUT, in honour of DALE RUFF. A guy that has raced there since it opened, and even won class at Indy in 1970.
