The automatic cars are rated at 507HP with the sticks at 500HP. The result is the autos' weighing about 40# more.

There is a 40# (7 hp) weight differential between the sticks and autos.

Thank You for the reply, How could anybody not love those SS hemi cars , better than any Pro car EVER!!!! Especially the A bodies

Thanks Julie and Cole. I thought there was a difference, I didn't know how much and how NHRA rated them.

Julie, will any of the cars from the WCH team make it to INDY this year?

As of right now, we are not planning on going to Indy. We've had illness and other things to deal with this year so have a real low-key schedule lined up.

Sorry to hear that , you all will be missed.

Englishtown #3 Charlie Wescott 8.63
#25 Jim Pancake 8.76
#33 Bob Wolkwitz 8.81
#47 Al Smyth 8.88
#53 David Barton 8.89
#65 Bucky Hess 8.98
#71 Gary Wolkwitz 9.01
#112Charlie Wescott Jr. 16.44

Congrats to both Bucky and Travis for their runner-up finishes in Top/SS and Classic/SS, also David for his win @ Atco. I would also like to thank the Hess' for taking the time to talk with me and then being nice enough to let me take pictures of my HEMI Valiant with Bucky's Cuda. It really made my weekend to meet someone I have watched and followed race for many years. I really repsect all of the hard work that he has put into racing a HEMI "A" car. Good luck to both you racing this year.
Thanks again Brian Buetsch '56 354 HEMI Valiant

Any trackside news from E-Town? The times looked a little off for the cars, I'm surmising the track was iffy? Why didn't CW Jr. show up for round 1 of class?

So it looks like he would of run his dad ??

The track was junk and Senior goes a 8.63 at 156!!
That's mighty impressive, a 63 on a good track is fast.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Pancake won class against Senior. Looked like the Fishstick ran off quite a bit. I think I saw Bucky ended up going a 62 in eliminations.

18 ss/ah cars regestered so far for Indy.

I wish I could run SS/A at INDY, but my JUNK is a Wedge and it is a 1969.... Maybe they would bend the Rules and let me RUN... J/K

Maybe I can just grudge race the winner for however much they win at INDY...LOL

NOW THERE IS 26

Gary do you have a list of who is entered. Thanks

Jesse
