The dog is in the picture with Greg and Marissa whenever I figure out how to post them!

Well we are on our way back to KY again after 1st round. After not running the cuda for 6 years, Larry is still figuring out what it likes. This morning there was such a heavy dew--98% humidity that the windows would fog back up as soon as you would clean them. And at 55 degrees it wasn't warming enough to keep them dry. But anyway our car did not run its number. But Merkle had us beat on the tree anyway. So now we go home and get ready for Memphis next weekend.

Interesting run next round--Fletcher and Fuller heads up.
More later.

Patsy,
Thanks for taking the time to keep us updated on all the action.

I hope George and Jerry get their car fixed before Memphis.

Barton's car is the nascar hemi with the short track manifold not the bathtub long track manifold. The car is real fast 4.02 in 330'.
Hope this answers your question. As always "Paper" covers stone

Thanks ffor the information, Larry.

It may be a distinction without a difference, but it would appear that this engine (the so-called "NASCAR HEMI" that's in the NHRA Stock Car Classification Guide) was an actual engine, run on circle tracks in 1965, or thereabouts. Conversely, there seems to be no legimate documentation I've been able to find (including asking the GT 500 registrar for the national SHELBY Club, that there was ever a 1967 GT500 (428) offered for sale by Shelby, with a single 4-bbl intake manifold setup.

The other engine specs that are in the NHRA Blueprint Guide for that Hemi may be as lacking in histtorical significance, as are some of the Shelby specs... which may well qualify it as a "paper car," indeed, but at least, at some point, that engine DID EXIST, though perhaps with different technical specifications.

Maybe none of that matters, I dunno.... Still a "paper car," but not QUITE like the Shelbys....
