"Super Stock/Stick Automatic"?

Got a photo to verify that one?

NO Bret....... SS/S for the stick cars and SS/SA for the automatic cars in 1962. Hayden Proffits 409 (stick) was SS/S. The S/S and S/SA classes was for the year old cars like a 61 SD Pontiac like Carol and Lloyd Cox's car and classes on down from those. Plenty of photos in my old magazines and on the H.A.M.B. Jr. stock site. I dont have a scanner.

X TECH MAN The magnesium cross ram manifolds are available in Chrysler licensed reproductions through A&A Transmission and several retail outlets like Mancini Racing. They're expensive, but cheaper by several hundred $ than an original in good shape. As for David Barton's manifold, it's an M-1 crate engine piece that's nearly identical to the original Nascar piece. You may have it confused with the 'bathtub' long track manifold that is not approved in stock. Steve

I am familiar with the reproduction Hemi Intakes made by A&A but I dont know if IHRA has approved them or not. Its been about 8 or 9 years since I worked for them. I suggest anyone interested in running one get approval before spending thier money.

Ahhh...you guys were referring to SUPER Super Stock/Stick and the equivalent automatic class, Super Super Stock Automatic.

Gotta admit, I forgot about that one. They incorporated the two new-model classes into the eliminator and then dropped the obviously redundant name for '63. This also happened right after the AHRA (and later that year, NHRA) made SS the only category in which the eliminator designation came before the class designation in deference to the poor SSA guys who spent half a year with unflattering letters on the windows.

Good job shootin' me down! (Seriously!)
