I am thinking Mark ran the '69 as a GT car for a while in the late 1980's, maybe as a 302 2bbl or something. I could be wrong about that.

But something I do remember just like it happened 2 minutes ago. I was working at Coastal Plains Dragway and the NHRA had a divisional race there in '86 or '87.. I remember when Mark pulled into the water with the '69 the announcer saying he had a 2 bbl on the car. I also remember being a little disappointed that the probability of more huge wheelies by that car would be a thing of the past.
When he left the line on that run the wheels were up so high I coulda walked underneath the car and changed the oil ,lol.

Ed,
I don't know why the 2 bbls are classified in IHRA Prod SS. Maybe it was lobbied for in regards to parts breakage or something else. I will say this though, IHRA Production SS cars are totally cool!

Michael,
Mark didn't go with the small block combo until the mid 90's , he first tried it with auto then went with the awesome stick combo then switch back to autos cause he likes the big wheelies and they are more expensive with the stick and harder on parts .....and he can run almost as fast with the 4BBl as with the 2BBl but the 2BBl has softer index ...hey Mark I know you read these thought I would just clear some of it up
