Did he withdraw or not? If he withdrew, then he got credit for the entry and he technically wasn't there. Sounds like a legal issue. Also, how can that motor have a manual trans GT factor, when it only came in a Caprice?

Hello Mark
I do not have any inside information. I know a bunch left before 1st round and since they were a long way from home, and I understand. I believe that the 265 was originally an automatic combination. Paul |

Re: Pomona GT/MA (-1.41 under) does it get HP ???
The Hp per the way I read the rule is AUTOMATIC once the run is made...weather he withdraws or not!
It's really about time that combo got hit, as he's always been REAL FAST with that particular engine. As for transmission---I believe the "Any" engine/transmission combo takes care of that. I doubt 7Hp (if that's what it is) will slow it down THAT MUCH. Should be something like 70/75 lbs...so, a big -1.34 or so under now....LOL Good run....should of shut off at 1000' but, good run!

So does this HP hit apply to cars running the 265 in traditional Super Stock?

The HP change only applies to this specific engine which is a late model 265. Paul |

Jim & Paul
Thanks for that info. Just curious, how does that combo come to get 265 cid? Is it a 262 block? Thanks Allan |

Thanks Allan[/quote] The Combo is from a 95 96 full size Caprice I believe, the 262 is a V6 I am fairly sure. Paul |
