Divisional at Famoso

It is good to see Steve Wann on the sheets. We hope he is on the way to be back at 100%.

What happened to car 7407 I/SA , it is not on the sheets listed on DRC but it is pictured on Facebook?

Live timing has him in Q1 but not in Q2. Did he leave or was the car in the "Barn"?

Had the wrong intake on it when it made Q1. They re-teched the car into SS/JA.

So you can do that? Have non legal parts, go 1.20+ under, change eliminator and still keep racing at that race?

Really?

He may have went to them and said he wanted to re tech and they probably made him pay an entry, I doubt they caught him and let him re enter BUT the truth will be on here later i"m sure

The car in the picture had I/SA on the window. Was the intake the wrong casting number, a 968 or a 301 are the only two listed for the '64 383 or was it a SS intake.

I don’t know which number casting was on it but my understanding is that it was a later-model, stock 383 casting that wasn’t correct for the 64 383.

They’ve run the same car in SS/JA previously with an Edelbrock single plane intake.

I truly believe this was an honest mistake and the driver, when he was told by another racer that he had the incorrect casting on the engine, self-reported himself to NHRA and was permitted to reclassify into SS.

Larry, The photo with I/SA is my photo from Q1. Later it showed SS/JA

You know, call me cynical but when I saw that this car qualified numero UNO and then, like a fart in the wind …. DISAPPEARED from the sheet , my IMAGINATION got the best of me ….after receiving his time slip and before he reached the scales ,did he drain the water from the radiator and DUMP his weight box, hmmm….BEEN DONE BEFORE ….Did he weigh and check his fuel AND at his trailer change a few rockers so that his cam would not check before tear down, hmmmm….. OR MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME , did he make it back safely to the trailer and POLISH his EFI …..oh my mistake , this is a 64 Chrysler carburetor car …….…old age can sure play tricks on ya …..
