Haha, bigdad, that's pretty good, but I remember you living in Viborg, as we all know Viborg was a city in Finland until the bloody russians took it from us in 1944... and Cab you are almost right, 6% of the finnish population speak swedish, I am one of them

Bobby DeArmand was the first legal NHRA A/SA to run altitude corrected 9.99 at Boise, ID back a long time ago A friend of mine was at that race trying to be the first A/SA to run in the nines also, my old NHRA 1963 Plymouth Belevedere two door sedan 63 415 HP M.W. car was there trying to do the same thing.

Yes, but this I believe was the first Stocker to run an altitude corrected 10 sec ET. I do not know who did the first 10 sec "real" ET, but one of the first was Jim Waldo in his 427 fairlane, that car is also in Finland.

Jyrki, you may be correct as far as the "first" altitude corrected car to run in the 10s but that would have been a long time ago, way before the race I'm talking about on those guys trying to be the first NHRA legal car to set the A/SA record in the nines at Boise, ID Dan Dvorak had a number of different M.W. NHRA legal cars that he raced over the years, he was fast but he wasn't always legal all the time Along with a lot of the other east coast racers I could tell you all kinds of stories about NHRA racers and the many different ways to push and bend the rules There was one well known west coast Mopar M.W. Super Stock racer told me when I first started racing in stock in NHRA on pushing and bending the rules, he told me it ain't cheating unless you get caught and convicted Jim Waldo started racing his Ford the same year I started racing my 1970 Hemi Cuda in A/S, I ran under the minimum NHRA A/S record at the 1975 Winternationals, it was 11.81 and my car ran 11.79 on the third pass I ended up getting toss out in the barn during tear down for having a glass beaded intake manifold Live and learn Jim Waldo was in Division 6, NHRA decided to lower the minimum record to 11.52 after the Winternationals and Jim set the record at 11.49 ET around 115.+ MPH at the first division 6 race in May of that year, he reset it four more times that year before the World Finals at Ontario, CA that year Back then you got 100 extra division points towards the division championship if you set both the ET and MPH record at the same time, which he did all five times He was and is a great guy along as well being a great drag racer His cars always flew

In the late 80's both Waldo and Dvorak run their old cars in Finland tin the midsummer race. Dan blew the engine up in the qualification and Jim advanced in to semifinals, blew a head gasket and couldn't make it in time. Here is a video with Jims interwiev https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ_f0Uc4hxMMaybe even Mafo was driving there?
