There was a little clue in that thread about how long ago I ran pure stock. Milan hasn't had the Northern Nationals for quite awhile. Milan went NHRA soon after, and lost the Northern Nationals title, when they went back to IHRA, they got the Motor City Nationals. Now they are back with NHRA. I guess that is what happens when you race at the same place for 35 years !

I have a 95 Impala SS, a car like TarHeel, and Corbitt Marshburn. It is driven to all the races and the trunk is huge and can take everything needed to the track.

Gas Mileage is at 19mpg. Been racing it since buying it new in ECIRS as a Bolt on and over time got it running well under the IHRA index.

Since then the car has a new interior, paint, complete new rear, Warren engine, Shane tranny, Yank converter and has run .85 under. Few more mods should go a full second.

But would have to take it off the street to do that. Such as more gearing and tire.

For now on a hot day will still run a half second under and have the benefit of AC driving back to the pits..:-)
