I'm pretty sure that has to be their 69 Camaro. The reason I say that is even a 427/425 AUTOMATIC 69 Chevelle factors at 8.50 pounds per HP, that's a natural B car. The rule book says you can't move up two classes. Now a 4 speed car is different, a 69 Chevelle 427/425 4 speed car IS a natural A car. Now, if you do the math, a 69 Chevelle 427/425 automatic actually factors 8.49xxx pounds per HP, but NHRA rounds it up. I was also told that even if you put aluminum heads on the 427/425, making the rating 435HP, NHRA says it is still a natural B car, and you cannot move to AA/SA. In order to run AA, Kevin Borgstrom had to put a Jericho in his car.

Of course, it is also possible that what I was told either was not true, or the person who told me that was over ruled by Glendora.

I wonder if it has the weebe rear suspension like borgstrom's has and had serious problems with getting the div 5 tech people to like it

Joe' what didn't they like on Kevin's car ???

Joe Demarais · 09-19-2008, 12:25 PM

Whatever it was, i think had to do with the upper part of the suspension. It was bad enough where they booted him. They asked him who else had the same thing.

The problem wasn't anything more than a ride height issue. I think it was resolved at Brainerd.
