Tim Kish has gone in the 12's (might be a premonition for me for 3 weeks from now) I've gone 13.1 so far
4 cyl fwd auto 2600 pounds
Tim Kish and I really "P" them off and we don't even have turbos. For them to complain about LOL

X-Tech Man....

Thanks much for the correction! As soon as I read that, I remembered the "medium riser" setup they put in those Fairlanes. Still, it was a weird combination, I think. Probably no weirder than the wagon of Jack Mullins, though. Seems like Jack's wagon was a 3-speed stick car, but I'm beginning to doubt my memory, now.... was it?

Jack's wagon was a 4-speed. He used a BW Super T10 w/2.88 first gear.

Thanks, Dwight; I was in Iowa all the time he raced that car, so I never got to see it run, but I figured you probably saw it lots of times.

Anybody remember Hue-Baby Waters on the NC east coast,. I was very young back then but remember it as being 56 or 57 oldsmobile. The back rims were painted half black and other half white. He ran back in the day when Mr Ed,Bobby Warren,Garley Daniels, Troy Dennis, Sox @ Martin and many other legends. By the way he was no kin to me that i know of .Sure would love to see some more old pictures from Kinston Drag Strip. If you go on kdsmotorsports.com and scroll down to bottom you can click on some really nice old old photos taken there .Most of these photos were taken by the lata Wayne Greenway. He was the track announcer for as long as i can remember ,even as i began racing and then my son also.One of the best in the business.. Take a look and enjoy.

Maybe I'm biased but how about Howard Barsky's 1957 two door station wagon with 283 cubic inches and dual wcfb carbs running 11 teens in SS/NA going through the traps at 9300 rpm
