If you look at the qualifying list from Vegas, Dave is nearly 9 under with the Nova. Pretty good for the 1st year in the car.
Yeah, Ron,,,, it would appear that way. Hey,, no harm, no foul!
Actually before Dave got into the dragster deal,, he was a accomplished Comp Eliminator racer with some cool and fast 10,000+ rpm small block (under 300 c.i.)
screamers with 5-speed gear boxes in various bodies, so this SS/H adventure hes on right now is nothing new, hes an 'ol stick guy. I love watching that car launch and go through the gears,, but I'm a little partial to it since I had a '66 Chevy II SS with a 331 sbc, 4-speed and 5:57s on a 10.5 tire back in the '70s that was a lot of fun also. Wish I still had it!
