One guy that used to pour thru the NHRA class guide book looking for good combos....Ralph Truppi.....He was real good at finding good combos. Once NHRA decided to only allow assembly line produced combos....it really put a hurt to the category......Was it right....I guess it was but since they allowed them for a few years and so many of us built them....well it hurt a lot of guys.... Putting a Powerglide in a sedan delivery was just not something I wanted to do....We sold our car and quit......for a year or two....And than built a car that was a Ralph Truppi combo..... It ran 2 tenths under the existing record on it's first hard pass.....with Ray Allen driving....and set the record later that year again with Ray behind the wheel...That record stood untill class changes combined some classes and it was bettered........I was always very proud of that record and it was not easy to get....Some guys set a lot of records and made it look easy...It was not....
