Default Re: Lookin for NHRA Stock Class ET/MPH from 1970-71

Atco is fast as are most of the northeast tracks in cool weather....

Fastest we ever ran MPH wise in 1970 with our H/S Chevy II was 114++ MPH at York at the spring WCS race......12.20's but did not get the record that day....and we were trying......Just ran out of time and were not given a backup.....

Points were awarded for either ET or MPH and some people tried setting just the MPH end successfully.

One technique was to try and cover as much ground as possible by driving from one side to the other and back staying within the lane....

No a very good idea in a fast car on 7" tires though since they were squirrely at the top end sometimes.......low air, narrow rims....

Even a 12 second car at 110+ could get pretty loose feeling on those tires and rims at the finishline........I did not like it when I drove our car.....
