What other brand X cars would run in that class?

NHRA has the 440 derated to 356HP. SS/HA is 9.5 lb/factored HP, minimum race weight 3382 plus 170 for driver, 3552 total. To run 10.2 at that weight in average/decent air requires about 650 dyno HP.

at that same race one of the fastest ss/ha cars was there,, ran 9.74 with a 68 dart 383 bill gibbs

I saw the car in Houston. It's a real R/T. One of the guys with the car said it was a show car converted to a race car. It's mini-tubbed with Cal-tracs.

Yhe car is a 440/375. NHRA rated at 356. 10.5 lbs/HP in H puts it at 3908lbs. Not a competitive package but a real cool car.

SS/H is 9.5 lbs/factered HP, not 10.5, I is 10.0, J is 11.0. The 440 combo is limited by the carb and head castings a bit more than the 383. The 383 is an overall faster combo, de-factored to around 300HP. The Charger in question is a cool car and looks like a fun ride, hope he has great success with it.

Not to argue but that Charger has a factor of 10.23 as of today. That makes it a natural G car. So moving it up to 10.5 makes it an H car. In Stock it is a natural E car.

I think I heard that the women that drove it is the CEO of In-n-Out Burger. That's pretty cool!

10-1 lb weight break makes it a SS/I.
A-6
C-7
E-8
G-9
I-10
After that they go to 1lb breaks.

I was a digit off. Most appologetic. Been spending too much time in Stock. Still a heavy car for any class.

What do have for a stocker? We've got a couple from different brands.
Yeah, that's what my heavy turd Olds superstocker weighs. But, at least they have another 130+ci's to get theirs moving. Defineately a cool car for the class though.

We have a 73 Dart Sport 340 H/S and a 70 Duster 340 F/SA. Been involved in class racing since the late 70's. It sure has changed but we still have fun with it. What class is your Olds?

We've got a pair of 88 cutlass' that run in SS/M-NA. I'm finishing a 72 Nova for G-H/SA.
My father has been running class cars since 67. He's also got a 71 Boss 351 that we occasionally run D/S and a 64 chevelle wagon that's a SS/NA as well.
I've got a 63 Belvedere post car that I occasionally drive. I'd love to have another to make a stocker out of but I can't afford to keep in A especially with the new cars. Love the people and the cars but we've been staying close to home as the economy and NHRA have made it a little less enjoyable.

when there done right like B1johnny had they are sweet!but if done wrong there ugly just my

What a classy car! Just something about the cleaness of a Stock/Superstock class car without all of the BS ad ons. IMHO its the best car show bar none!

Another dumb question? What are those two brackets hanging down from the rear axle visible under the car? I've seen similar brackets before, but always thought they were wheelie bar mounts with the bars removed. But, those don't look wheelie bar mounts. Thanks!

im pretty sure those are wheelie bar mounts.

My good friend,Ron Wilson(Firefighter3931)would LOVE that shot! He's got a BEAUTIFUL '68' as well! Thanks for posting,Myron!
