Brandon and Jimmy are 4 and 6, not too bad! It looks like Brandon was going about an 8.70 first round of qualifying!

54 and 500 cubic inch ? Haven't quite got the handle on Metric conversion yet.

Pretty good performances from those two Chivverlays, too bad there isn't Dallas Kelly, Ray Paquet and Paul Adams there to challenge them.

Speaking of SS/B cars, does anybody know who bought Ralph Porpora's Corvette or did he just take it of the market ?

at INDY, the B class will be full of fords, chevys, mopars, and chevys!! Cant wait to be there....

That is the REAL class racing with that bunch of cars...All factored for years, all at their peak, all great racers..Very tempting to re enter at this class...if only I were younger...

No time like the present, Dick. I think there were 5 SS/B cars at the Big Go last year, and all of the drivers were in their 70's if memory serves correct.

Don't leave out Class Runner-up, A.H. Adkins in the AMX.
