Default Re: OLD Modified Corvettes

Sorry, I didn't explain myself very well. We had 5 classes over there. Stock, any 200 cc 23 degree chevy, 20 degree ford, 18 degree mopar, modified stock, same heads,stock option same heads with different gearing, cams etc. Hot Stock, different chassis, and motor combos, same heads, and then the, what we called C classes. From C-11.5, to C-4. All meaning their pounds per cube classification. We went with the Brodix spec head, because of the spec cast into the intake, and exhaust port. Easy to run a scope down, and take a look. Last 10 big shoot-outs at the end of the year were decided by less then a 1\2 tenth. Most by mere thousandth's. .1 per 1\2 lb. per cube. .4 pro tree. Have seen as many as 1,600 people there on a Saturday night. But, there ain't a hell of a lot to do here. People who raced there, Chuck Aronson, Cale Aronson's dad ,Bob Morton, ex driver of the Cooper and Kreigh, Pizza Hut pro stock car, Dale Ruff, owned one of Grumpy's early camaros, and class winner at Indy in the 70's, Billy Ray, AHRA SS world Champ, and dad of Ricky Ray, Earl Earl's C\SM NHRA car, Terry Murphy, Al Parker, Delon Joseph, The Bridger bros, Earnie, Dave, and Steve Bridger. You don't know them but you would, went 4.85, 142 mph, with a 326, at 5.5 lbs. one 850, 23 degree, and a powerglide. Totally legal. Also, Chris Paget, comp cams. Raced there right up to when he went to work for Comp.
