1967 Super Stock Weight Factors

[Paul Ceasrine]

Rico,

I don't think Ron Mancini was at the 1967 Super Stock Nationals with
the 1963 Plymouth Max-Wedge 'Aluminum-Nose' SS/BA car.

Arlen Vanke had a 1963 Plymouth Savoy Max-Wedge 'Steel-Nose'
non Ram-Air car that ran in SS/CA.

It may have had an aluminum front bumper on the car at the time.

The 1963 Plymouth Savoy 'Steel-Nose' 426/425 HP Super Stock weighed in at #3328 lbs. ~ 425 HP = 7.83 Wt/Hp

They were a perfect fit for SS/CA in 1967.

J-T,

Tommy Clise was out of Lonaconing, Maryland.

In 1966 {NHRA} he was running a 1965 Plymouth Satellite 383/330 HP in D/SA {10.60 to 11.29 Wt/Hp}.

In 1966 {NASCAR} he was running in C/SA {10.60 to 11.29 Wt//Hp}

The Plymouth ran 13.20's @ 106 MPH and was a 'solid' runner, as he was tearing up Middle Stock Eliminator.

At the 1967 Super Stock Nationals, he was competing in SS/DA {8.70 to 9.49 Wt/Hp}.

I believe he switched over to a lighter car, and ran a
1964 Belvedere with a 426/365 HP 'Street Wedge'

He won Class........
