Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed
316D Carey Bales 391 Irvin Johns
E1 ****WINNER**** 0.107 7.923 174.39 No Time
SS/DX Dial: 7.91 (+/-): 0.013 GT/CA Dial: 9.42 (+/-): 90.579
Qualified: #10 8.005 -1.045 #21 9.394 -1.006

Johns' car rolled through the beams before the tree came down. Bales then ran the quickest run in Super Stock at this event and probably the quickest ever.



How fast did John G go in his Buick?? Also the AM car went seven something. Tom

If I remember correctly, John Gallina's best was a 7.96. A couple of years ago, at the Dutch Classic, Scott Gove's SS/AM, if I remember correctly, ran a 7.93.

Thanks guys!

Here is a video of the 7.92 pass.



Also, it appears that Lewis Bloom "stat guy" confirmed that this pass was indeed the quickest in Super Stock history. Pretty cool!!!

Totally impressive! You make running a turbo car look easy. I'm just curious as to the drivetrain you're using. Since Honda uses great engineering to make their parts super light, I wouldn't think they would have the strength to do what you're asking of them. And, if it's not a trade secret, what size slicks are you running?

I'll bet it even has Honda rod journals! And all aluminum body panels!
I thought that was an S2000. That is a bitchin' car!

They are 26 x 10's this is what he put on yellowbullet:

"The neat thing about the car is it is on 26" tires, the car is a 100% stock chassis car, not mini tubbed or back halved, no wheelie bars, no wing all stock body, exterior, interior, etc....."
