Re: Items allowed by NHRA over the years
flat towed to indy with tow hubs steve burns came to me at the winter nationals and said what would think if some one made a race gas nhra would except that would be better than white pump. I said yes how much? about a dollar a gal. I said no . white pump was 39.9 a gal and 280 Sunoco was about the same if you could brake the seal. being a big guy I went to Jack hart and farmer and said why not weigh the car with the driver in wouldn't it save time at the scales they said how much should we add for the driver I said national aveage for a man is 170. that is how that number came about. I have had a lot of good times racing took my wife of 50 years last week on our firsr date to the drags was talking racing the whole nite she should have figured it out but didn't Won my class in 1963 winter nationals tore down got out at 3 am towed home with a rope no racing sunday.
