AA/SA @ Norwalk OH

[Larry Hill]

It looks like it will be a very diverse class run off with three real cars [Cradduck, Shaul, and Pendarvis] vs two paper cars [Barton and Miele].

It will be two MoPars in the finals is my prediction.

[RJ]

What's real about a 1971 big block Barracuda with a available ONLY on a 1970 340 AAR Cuda scoop on it?

[Chris Hill]

RJ it was also a six barrel option and a four barrel option when the shaker was orded but was out of stock, but agred it was mostly instaled with the 340 six barel. Just like the 1998 LT1 cars.

I still think it will be the crate motor Hemi vs the max wedge with the '64 car with the win.

OK, thanks for the explanation. I'd just never seen one, was it also a 4 bbl. option if shakers were out in 1970?, and how does it work compared to the shaker?

[David Barton]

Are all of them running in AA/SA for sure? I thought Shaul was entered in A/SA. I hope he runs in AA/SA! I like the pressure. I guess I'll have to remove all of the paper weights from the trunk.

And how about Ken? Are you going Ken? I didn't catch up with you at Atco to find out how you ran. Hope to see you there.

[Ken Miele]

David,

I will be there, but not sure how well I will run. The engine problems are behind me I hope, but now I can't hook the dam thing. I wish we would have got one more run.

I think John will be running A/SA, but it would be cool to see him in AA.

I was thinking how cool it would be to have a AA challenge at Indy this year. Maybe we can get some feed back from other AA's and see if we could put something together.

David, I don't know about your car, but my paper car can give nasty paper cuts. I think I will have to put caution signs on the fenders.

Same deal with the Challengers. That's why you see so many different combos with the fiberglass 1970 Challenger T/A hood. The T/A scoop is superior to the shaker. Don't know how the AAR hood compares to the shaker.

...08' Cobra Jets got your ears on?....paper Mopars / paper Shelbys / 08 Cobras......sorry, you GM guys got no paper cars

[David Barton]

Ken,
I agree, that would be really cool. How many cars normally show in AA/SA? And how many A/SA cars would make the jump into AA/SA? Then the next question would be what about the 4-speed guys? I'm sure that will come up too. NHRA would never allow it at Indy but it would be a good thought for future shootouts. Can't leave them out!

The biggest thing that might scare some people away would be the fear of not qualifying for the bracket race since the index is so steep.

If people are into having a big shootout I will call our vendors to see what they can throw into the pot. Lets try to get something happening.

I wasn't even born yet but I was told that only Challenger's came with those hoods.

The Paper Shredder might be illegal.
