1967 Super Stock Weight Factors

[Paul Ceasrine]

Rico,

I don't think Ron Mancini was at the 1967 Super Stock Nationals with
the 1963 Plymouth Max-Wedge 'Aluminum-Nose' SS/BA car.

Arlen Vanke had a 1963 Plymouth Savoy Max-Wedge 'Steel-Nose'
non Ram-Air car that ran in SS/CA.

It may have had an aluminum front bumper on the car at the time.

The 1963 Plymouth Savoy 'Steel-Nose' 426/425 HP Super Stock weighed in at #3328 lbs. ~ 425 HP = 7.83 Wt/Hp

They were a perfect fit for SS/CA in 1967.

J-T,

Tommy Clise was out of Lonaconing, Maryland.

In 1966 {NHRA} he was running a 1965 Plymouth Satellite 383/330 HP in D/SA {10.60 to 11.29 Wt/Hp}.

In 1966 {NASCAR} he was running in C/SA {10.60 to 11.29 Wt//Hp}

The Plymouth ran 13.20's @ 106 MPH and was a 'solid' runner, as he was tearing up Middle Stock Eliminator.

At the 1967 Super Stock Nationals, he was competing in SS/DA {8.70 to 9.49 Wt/Hp}.

I believe he switched over to a lighter car, and ran a
1964 Belvedere with a 426/365 HP 'Street Wedge'

He won Class........

Some cool Ford Fairlanes were in attendance as well.

1) Wally Lynn and Nate Cohen
2) Ed Skelton
3) Ryan and Downing
4) Harold Dutton
5) Hubert Platt

Dutton went to the Semi's when Lynn red lighted, but lost to Dick Arons. Hubert had mechanical problems.
