You're right Mark. In fact the last Chev 305 2bbl. was 1979, and it wasn't offered in the Malibu's then either. Maybe Carrol Shelby sent a letter though?!!!

Markie- my bad - you're right - no 305 / 2bbl ............however here's the bad news - its a 350 cid / 2bbl -- 180hp - a legit combo ...............How did Billy Nees miss this one ?

The King is gone - Don Fizell has been dethroned - his hold on being #1 qualifier has been broken by none other than the "New" CobraJet player in town - Gary Richard .Turns out his run yesterday was legit -- nothing more than math errors - not sure on whose part but he's in as #1 at 1.333 under -- B/SA --- 9.917 et .

Today's Stock field will have 99 entries - the final nine are cars that have not had a time trial and are going in blind . The weather has changed a little but still looks fast -- eighty degrees --32% humidity -- 29.88 barometer - 1871 DA .

Heads-up -- a pair - Lynch v Keith O.- H/SA -----Kershner v Silver -- E/SA


Long head start - get this -- Ken Meile AA/SA v Joe Cieri T/SA -- here's another -- Rich Atkins B/S v Ed Fernandez T/SA

"350/180 is a diesel " If that's the case, FUEL CHECK should be interesting.

Jack, if you see Don Fezell or Bob Hallstrom, please tell them that the NHRA has raised the Stock quota for Reading from 80 to 100. At Indy, I told Bob that Stock was already over quota at 81 and they weren't on the entry list. He was quite surprised that it filled up so quickly, so this should be good news for them. However, they better get their entry in quickly, it is already at 90; 10 spots left. Thanks.
