Ryan, Your car has 1980 grille, i think by looking at picture, if you claiming car as 1981 factory hp 155 / 230. 1980 factory hp 180/230.Tom

Tom,
My mistake, it is run as a 1980. For my information though..... If the nhra factored horsepower is 230 for either car, would the class be the same ?

Thanks,

Ryan, yes hp 230 is what you go by, some years the shipping weigh mite be different, with the 1980 wagon you can race LMN, change header panel to 1982 &1983 you can race MNO. Tom

I'm thrilled to have won my first race out with the car. I won the Team Speedworld race they had along with the Natl Open qualifying on Saturday. Special Thanks to Tibor Kadar at RWR racing engines, and Gregg Luneack, for their help and guidance. Felt good to be under the index, even if by a little bit ! ( YOU KNOW CHARLIE ! ) - Great group of people to be around, enjoyed everyone there.

Converter must be close , but it sounds like the Q-Jet secondary circuit needs some tweaking ;-)
