top8x7b , do you recall what it ran ? any pics from the old days or maybe a track photographer's name ?
i found out some more :
i got a call back from one of the former owners/drivers . he tells me the car was built in 1976 , as a body in white , it ran in b/gas with a tunnel ram hemi and a clutchflite trans . the car was raced with the name "SPECIAL EDITION " , and it held some records in nhra . the body was steel because of the rules they had but it had the glass hood and a tube frame with all alum floor and interior ......... in the 80's , after it was no longer in a class , it was bracket raced with a 400/440 crank with original b1 heads , that he said were too big and slowed it down . (explains the huge header primaries ). it seems the car went to a couple of the guys who knew each other and it ended up with this last engine . a 400 with stroker crank , alum rods , roller cam , and b1 bs heads . he says he saw it run 9.40 at 140 with the current engine . it 60 foots in the 1.20's (for that e.t. and big tires & light weight it should ) . some of the guys involved in the car have passed but several are still with us . . i am waiting to see some pics he says he has of the original build . i will share when i get more info ..............i found my supertrick wheels so it will look like this pic now
