Proposal for Old Cars in Stock

[J.Dillinger]

I propose a 1949 Hudson Hornet+

Jeff,

Don't let it get to you. Anyone can build your combo, so to me there is no advantage.

As far as the moderator goes, yes Bruce is one of my moderators but don't let that bother you. Bruce has opinions and I have no problems with him expressing them. Bruce and I are on total opposite sides of this subject, but that's okay. I'm not going anywhere and I hope you don't.

I race a so called paper car in A and AA and was never the fastest, although it was competitive. I know have no chance to out run the new CJ's and DP's, but do you see me calling for the heads of NHRA and or the owners of these cars, no way. I have lots invested, money and time, but I see no difference with some who runs a soft combo and kicks my butt or runs these new cars, being out run is being out run. If I want to run with them, I will have to build one.

So Jeff, keeping on posting, no one on this site will stop you from expressing your opinion on this subject.

One other note, at the track, opinions on the new cars are way more positive then negative.

J. Dillinger PE #1, I actually lobbied for the 39 Hudson Terraplain Fastback Red in color, to be allowed in T/SA with the available 354 Hemi. I never got anywhere with that one either. Bruce, I was never aware that I was such a tale teller. For those who don't know me, I am the dealer @ Southland Dodge Chry Jeep for the last 42 years. I went racing for my first time in l958 when my brother Joe took me to the airport in Opelusus, LA. Joe and I were partners for over 30 years. He is the largest truck dealer in Louisiana. We started with 7 people and now have over 300 inspite of the economy. Thats the short version. Now Bruce, as to my involvement with the "crate motors" in stock, I knew about this project 2 years ago when John Danoto, an engineer with Mopar and also a stock truck racer, started it. We spoke several times and he was interested in the flat top Edlebrock head Top Stock motor we had run in IHRA. We ran it for years. I told him what I thought. Since Mopar had no heads available (none), the magnum head has long been gone, so NHRA allowed the Magnum R/T head in S/SS at +5, however Mopar quit making that head one month after NHRA allowed it. Mopar then got Edlebrock to make a knock off head for them, but the port matching that is standard on all the Edelbrocks is not done and that is the head for Stock Eliminator and it has a Mopar part number and casting number. The rest of the thing is like it was in 66 when the small block Mopar appeared. Just a brief history. And of course the bankruptcy, and the other public details. Now you know my involvement. As for the SRAC I do my best and will continue to do my best for S/SS. I really try to get my info at the races, more than on the net. I will continue to do this. It's a thankless job, but it keeps me off the street and out of the bars. If I decide to post more, I will call Drooze and dictate it. I hit my finger putting the SS motor in my new Challenger. Now it's your turn.

And the truth shall set you free. Mark Callanan, I see you are an H/SA racer. I ran 11.01 at No Problem in H/SA and you ran 11.10 or so at Lebanon Valley. I got a tenth or so on you. I will have to check with Nitro Joe for your fastest. You might be faster. I'm sorry this has gotten you so worked up. No harm was intended.

Just about what we thought. Thanks for your post. Take care of your finger.
