68CUDA&DART PICS ,VIDEO,E.T.S OF THE SS/AH CARS. - 12/11/05 12:09 AM

The SS/AH class is going to have major growth in 2006 racing season,13 new cars are in production.This is going to be the largest class of heads up racing around.Hemi shootouts will be outstanding in 2006, They also plan on match racing at local tracks. lots of new 4-speed cars. I just can't wait for this action. The biggest news so far is the warfish will add another cuda to his racing team.It will be a four speed car.

I sold Pancake a gold '68 Dart about 5 months ago that he said he was going to make into an SS/AA car.....(I hauled the dart up there for him and while I was there I bought the Quarter Pounder from him).....He said that he had taken the Quarter Pounder in on trade on a Hemi Dart that he had sold........His black and yellow Hemi Dart (the one that's been at the Nat's for sale a few times) was sitting there when I was there, so there must have been another one , plus, his Barracuda was there.

AWESOME! Man, for me the '68 Darts and Cudas ARE IT! Can't wait to see more out there! I've had a few local guys after me to sell my Dart for a SS/A buildup, but I can't let myself sell it even if it were to end up as one of these incredible racecars! Any more pics?

That car was built at F.J. Smith's shop, not too far form here. A friend of mine went to see it about a week and a half ago and said the pictures don't do it justice. I saw the Howes racing car hauler getting on the highway the other day, the must have taken it home before it snowed.

Thanks, great pictures, as the owner of a 68 Dart bracket car for the last 23 years I am partial to the Dart "A" cars, it seems that along with the performance and engineering resurgence these cars are getting lately, the paint jobs are getting nicer also. I love the A cars Cuda or Dart but I`m glad to see more Darts coming.

SS/AH is for 68 Cuda and Darts Only.Just Hemis,These cars will be in Hemi shootouts, Which the Hemi racers lobby with NHRA With the help from Dave Hakim.That the very short answer.

I think it's a shame they didn't let the few early B's with Hemi power run in the AH class, they have been running in AA for years, a few of them were pretty competitive too, the owners of those cars can't be too happy right now about this whole deal.

everybody builds the engines .060 over, and some put a .013 stroke in it to make 440 cubic inches. if its just .060 over its 438 inches.

they are working on getting nhra to allow the 64 car in ss/ah..

they made a seperate class for the hemi cars, calling it ah, allowing both manual and automatic trans cars to save the hemi shootout, or to save the sanctity of the hemi class. they now allow cars to move up or down a class in super stock. that means that all the chevrolet "b" cars could race a/a now. it really doesnt matter, westcott showed at maple groove this year that the chevies cant run with a hemi at the same weight/power factor. westcott was even faster than all barton cars with 125lbs in his car, weighing about 3340, to bartons' customers 3210. .

The shoot out at the Dutch last fall was a cool deal. Armstrong did out 60 the A cars but that was it. Final was anticlimactic as Armstrong did not make it down the track. Charlie had him covered anyhow. Like to see more of the TOP/SS.

Thats if you already have a hauler and trailer, some spare parts Dyno room,machine shop,and grade points, If Not your pockets better be real deep,I think to get started you will need around 500000,00 Now you have to get the car to run in the 8.50 range,and that was last year ,any guess on what they will run this year? More post on what you think the cost would be?

If I read the rules correctly, the AH cars cannot move up or down a class, to quote Flounder from Animal House " This is gonna be great"

2 new stick cars on the east coast.Bob Reeds and my dart will be there in 06.





THANK GOD FOR STICK SHIFT CARS !!!!!!!!!

Is the NHRA going to saddle the stick cars with extra weight so they are uncompetitive with the boring automatics ?

I have a friend who has taken Bob Lambech's #'s Dart from a scrap pile to an unbelievable piece over that the last 5 years. It's too nice to race. As nice as any. It makes some of these rides look like winter beaters, and I'm not kidding.

The shoot out at the Dutch last fall was a cool deal. Armstrong did out 60 the A cars but that was it. Final was anticlimactic as Armstrong did not make it down the track. Charlie had him covered anyhow. Like to see more of the TOP/SS.


You will in 2006, But if you go to NSCA race fords chevy, mopars all race heads up,Charlie holds the record for that class at 8.61 But its great heads up racing, the class is called PRO NOSTALGIA, try to make it to a race,there web site is nsca.com

Re: NEW CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 12/13/05 03:37 AM

We ran NSCA Pro Nostalgia for four years with my friend's Fairlane. Won in Atlanta. It's too bad that the sanctioning body doesn't promote this class like they should. It's like Superstock A and AA but with Chevys, Fords, Pontiacs, Mopars, and even an AMC or two! Got to meet Arlen Vanke the first event that we went to (he was running in Nostalgia Supeter Stock ). How cool was it for a lifelong Mopar guy to sit in the pits and eat with the man himself and listen to old racing tales !

Wow I guess we got busted going through Stoney Creek?

The car is a work of art by both Smith Performance and Scott Jahren Custom Paint. Pictures don't do it justice. I hope I can finish it as nice it arrived on my doorstep. Now I'm on a mission to get teh interior into it and wire it to be ready for when the snow melts.

you know it must just be his personality. When he first met me..and after finding out i raced mopars and he said i seemed to be savy about them
he proceeded to give me a tour of his shop..along with a little history/short story on the old days.
later after meeting him at the parts warehouse.
again he rememberd me and said follow me i have something you might find interesting..
then he showed us the two cars that where being built. this was last summer ..
the cars where just off of the surface plate. and the chassis and cage's where pretty much complete.
he then began to explain how he was gonna have a tough road ahead getting a motor program up to par.
i wish him well..and even offferd to help in the pits when the cars are ready to go.he said for me to keep in touch and that it would be a while.
i have my fingers crossed..and hope they get it going.

The Barnetts are building two SS/AA cars, one car is done and the second is nearing completion,they also have a 10.5 tire barracuda with a modern pro stock engine in it.
As far as the engine builder goes I did not know it was a secret so I will not say then.
That 10.5 car has no driver it just sits in the shop
anybody have the cojones to drive it contact Barnett performance.

Re: POST YOUR 68 CUDA DARTS RACE CARS - 12/15/05 10:24 PM

Does anyone know who is building the SS/AH car from Westminster MD.? I'm pretty sure it is a Cuda and will run Barton power.

Also does anyone know if Eddie Schartman's car is still around and will it be raced this year. I saw it mentioned in an earlier post.

A couple more "possible" old/new car coming out this year are:
1. John Friel Dart (health permitting?)

2. Travis Hess Cuda (in Bucky's first Cuda)

3. The old "Mr. Motech" Cuda. (I talked to the new owner who was testing it last fall. Don't remember his name.)

Love these SS/AH cars

Is there anyway someone could organize a list of all the known cars?

Thanks

Re: POST YOUR 68 CUDA DARTS RACE CARS - 12/16/05 12:38 AM

i believe the car from maryland is matt welker.. not a barton powered deal. shartmans old car may be raced, depends on the guys health. bucky was talking about maybe letting the teutons borry that old car of his, and letting tim herbert run it. i dont think depillo will have that car out for awhile, it will be a stick,, with the drivetrain from the honkin hemi ss'b car he owns/races. i havent heard of bob buntin building a car, will he be running tony's back up motor in it? it will be an auto knowing bob.

This is getting crazy, all these new cars. Its very interesting to see all the GM racers building cars: Rodger Brodgon, Joey Wilkes, Did someone mention Arnie Martel?,Warfish already showed he can do it,I thought I read awhile back that Jeff Taylor was building one also.The Barnetts can do it,remember Steve Bagwells A car from years ago. The more the merrier!!!

I was around when the 68 cars came out (older than dirt) - but someone explain to me, why spend all that money - probably at least $300k, to race for what $5,000. ? Look at the cars and transporters - does this make sense ?

Re: NEW CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 12/17/05 02:42 AM

The payout must be more then that at most races. English Town had a $10,000 pay out at the Atlantic nationals last year didnt they ?

to answer your question,, why spend money to try to win/compete.. because we/they want to.. dont be negative if guys want to keep pushing the envelope.

and it definitely wont be pancake unless he gets a new engine builder, or ray picks up alot!

Re: NEW CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 12/17/05 03:18 AM

Whoa! Easy there Jeff. At least use lubrication back there. Don't count us out that quick. Pancake isn't like most guys. He is a real team player and tries his best at all times. AS A TEAM. He doesn't just sit around and complain about other guys going fast. And no he doesn't get all of the best stuff like everybody thinks. He's just that much better at tuning a car. Like I said, he works at it. And that's what it takes.

Bartons Dart has run 8.60's and Holton car along with the Warfish have run 8.50's. Right now a Dart holds the record and I honestly have to look to remember who it is and what the et is. I think its in the 8.60's right now. Bucky Hess showed some power lately with his Joe Clark Hemi but I still think a Holten powered car will dip in the 8.40's if the air is right at Mission this year. Ron

But what really saddens me - is SS/A is so far from what it started as - guess I am just old and liked the old days - expensive then but at least close to what came out of the factory - today ? Oh, I really do enjoy watching them but has it gotten out of hand ? I think so. And then after the "Shootout" it becomes a bracket race against cars they NEVER made - RW drive Cobalt with V8 and sheet metal manifolds? And then, as we all fear - the "sportsman" racer will be gone - replaced by a single day or maybe a two day event featuring TF-FC-and maybe P/S (bubble cars) -- our sport is going away and no one can stop the "progress". Ok - enough of my soap box - thanks for reading this, please don't throw me under the bus

I say no cars will go 8.40s but will go very low 8.50s and I say it will be a Phil Mandella race car with Holton power, possibly with Modern Cylinder heads. It may even be a Dart!!! Whoa!!
Alright maybe someone may go 8.49 but I doubt it.

Re: NEW CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 12/17/05 03:42 AM

Stop it please. You're depressing me. This class is as real as it's going to get. Where else can you go and see this many cars race and have any tech officials that mean anything? If anything this class is gonna have more rules tacked on before you know it. It's so competitive that everybody is pushing every rule there is in the book. The question is, how much will NHRA let the racers get away with before they finally do something? For example, hood scoops. Just give us a damn measurement already.

And by the way, bracket racing IS actually fun when you are going rounds with a reliable consistant car.

"This class is as real as it's going to get.

Re: NEW CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 12/17/05 04:12 AM

Most of those 8:50 passes are altitude adjusted runs.If the runs are not factored,the fast runs will still be in the 8:50's.

As far as the haulers look at all sportman racers.And they win nothing,and charlie westcott gave his wining check to the USO if you get the mar 2006 drag racing action magazine there is a write up to this fact.

Yep I think its great to see the baddest sportsman SS door slammer cars ever to get this attention. This is what I want to see. This and any nostalgic door slammer racing is what I grew up with and love. I also saw these cars when they cam out in 68 (I was 12) and I was already into Mopars and drag racing. I dont care for the Super class of delay boxes and throttle stops but I dont mind watching bracket racing of cars I can identify what they are. I also enjoy the FAST and Pure Stock cars. I hate to see NHRA giving the sportsman guys and girls the bum rap as thats what I like so its good to see so much competition going on in the SS/AH class and I look forward to watching them race this year. I know many are going after the record and bragging rights but that makes for strong competition. Ron

Of course! My little fortune stays little quite nicely. I stay where my funds allow.

Regarding this thread...@ 5-6 years ago I sold a
CLEAN 68 formula 'S' bare body to 2 brothers(white) in NE Arkansas who intended to make a "A" car out of it. Met one last fall at the Memphis national and he said they were coming along nicely on the project. They have been running a white bracket super bee for quite awhile.

Anyone know who they are??

Dad is just doing stuff for our team and helping out some of the other hemi guys on the west coast with special projects and consulting. He does all his heads by hand which, as you know, is very time consuming. He agreed to build a motor for Mazz if Bob would get his heads from Jeff. Thanks for the compliment about Dad. I think he's pretty special too.

Happy holidays to all!

SS/AH now contains the 1968 Darts and Cudas that were previously in SS/AA. SS/AA will now consist of the '64 cars and cars that were in SS/BA and choose to move up a class, under the new rules.

What ever happened to the Barton stick Dart that was being built? I spoke with Ray quite a few years ago and he said they were building a stick A car for Michael to drive. I'm pretty sure the basis for the project was a '69 Dart that Michael drone on the street. It was being converted to a '68.
Also does anyone know if Arlen Vanke's stick Cuda is still around? I think he won SS/A at Indy a few years ago but had some problems in tech!!??

The list is cool but I'd like to put some photos with the names. Especially the lesser seen teams.

Thanks to everyone for all the information!!

I'll post a few more of my SS/AA from years gone by!! Most are from the Mopar Nats in 1990?? They had a shootout for the SS/AA cars back then.

Hope you like them!!

I was also wondering about Vanke's car as to whats going on with it ?? I don't know about Barton's stick car but I did see a pic of a silver Challenger that looked like it had Michael Barton's name on the window but I couldn't tell for sure. And it was a very nice car. Ron

Re: 68 CUDA & DARTS CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 12/18/05 10:24 PM

The silver Challenger with Michael's name on it is a stock eliminator car. I think B/SA. It is also a hemi powered car.

Her are a few more older SS/AA photos!!

Re: 68CUDA&DARTS PICS,VIDEO, TAKE A RIDE IN THE CUDAS - 12/20/05 06:40 AM

Rick Johnson's Cuda is John Hagen's "RED" SS Cuda that was built in 74 when Chrysler pulled out of P/S. Remember that Sox ran a SS 68 Cuda, Leal went to a 65 car, Landy went with a Challenger S/Ser. This is NOT the same car as John's "GREEN" car from 68-9.

Ok - that is what I thought about Hagen's car - I hung around with him for a couple of years (75-77) and he had that car and a Duster - he built the Arrow later -- sad story on that deal.

Yeah, what is the story on Steve? What's your motor going in? (I hope it runs better than the one in the '64 Dodge in Hot Rod ) That article in Hot Rod about his '64 was kind of embarassing......Does he not know how to tune his own stuff up?

There was an episode of Horsepower TV, or one of those shows that had Ronnie Sox and Bob Reed on it.

I imported the whole show to my PC just to watch them bang gears from the in car camera. I have been kicking myself ever since I lost that video. Anyone have it that can post it?

This one quoted Bob saying "I think the automatics are boring"...

Good to see this car back out!!

I'm with you and Bob, Tim.

This SS/HA class is the best thing NHRA has done since Modified Eliminator.

The only way it could get better is if all those cars were STICK SHIFTS !

What do you guys think the e.t for the new 4-speed cars in 2006.the best of 2005 for a 4-speed was 8.76.Harry Holton went 8.56 and warfish at 8.61 in auto cars,the warfish is building a 4-speed along with many others. So what is your guess in 2006?????

Dean Mink has had a few original Hemi cars but I don't think his current Cuda is an original. Rick Johnson, Wendell Howes and the West Virginia Hillbilly cars are not real to my knowledge. The Gillford Cuda is Bob Reed's old black Cuda, it was also raced by John Archambault in PA as a very sucessfull M/P car.

I am really looking forward to the upcoming season. All these stick cars being built, WOW, Indy will be so cool this year, as always. I hear that Randy Warford is building another car, automatic. And the coolest thing I hear and I hope it's true, is Bullet Bob Reed is building a new car with KOS racer Bill May Jr. doing the driving,I was told it would be an automatic. This could really be a good TEAM with the legendary Bullet Bob and Billy's drive to suceed and his resources. I'll touch on Willie Shepards car from Indy. The car is maybe 70% complete, he has got the run around from the guy building it for over 3 years and he is still having a difficult time trying to get some small stuff done by him so it can go to the paint shop. Willie runs a 4spd in his 70 Cuda and he sure has struggled with what to use in this, but yes it will be a automatic car, with the Holtons helping out with the engine components. Well I gotta go back to work, thanks Moparts for #1 mopar site on the web and Merry Christmas

Jim Keyes Cuda was originally from ND, Chuck Comella is the original owner of his Dart, not sure on Rayburn's Dart but his Cuda was originally Tom Myl's car. Randy Hopkins Dart was Herb McCandless' car. Danny Smith's Cuda was Jim Wick's from here in WI and the Dart is supposed to be Shirley Shahan's.

My brother was at the starting line and he said there was a puff of smoke and a hard right turn into the guardrail at about 140 miles and hour. His helmet was found busted in two they are not sure if the helmet came off or was busted off his head he suffered serious head injuries. I think he told me the tranny broke and caused it all.

Ive often wondered why NHRA resets the records, erasing a faster cars previous record. Hensons car I believe is the record holder at 8.61 and the old record was 8.56 set by a West Coast Hemi car with Holton power. In my opinion, once a record is set, thats it until the record is broken. Anyways, ALL the SS/AA er AH cars are awesome, it definitely is my favorite class. Now its going to be like a mini Pro Stock.

Thank you Mark, Also thank-you for all the pictures. You do know the history of these car.


I know of a real Hemi Dart in the Upstate, NY area. It's run by a father/son team, Brooks and Tom Lee. I'm sure some of you know the car. The car is all black and now has full quarter panels on it. The reason for the full quarters is because the wheelbase was altered some time in the 70's and was bracket raced with (I think) a 340. In 68/69 it was driven by Ralph Conte, but I don't know if he was the owner. Anyone feel free to PM me since I don't get here too often.

These old photos helped me remember another new car in the works.

I heard that Ken Montgomery is building a new Cuda with a stick. I think I heard his son may drive this one.

Nobodyracer you need to update your current SS/AH list. What are we up to? 80 cars?

Here is Ken's original Cuda which he still owns. It is in A/MP trim now.

Merry Christmas to all!!!!

Two years ago, at Indy while watching the SS/AA shootout with two good friends.......A guy walks by with a "Hemi Super Stock Shootout" hat on.......One of my friends says to him, "Excuse me, where'd you get that hat?"........The guy turns to us, and says; "spend at least 150K to get an SS/AA car here to race, and they'll give you one."..........We laughed about that for hours......

It would be alot cooler if I was driving one of those cars up the return road though!!!!

Great job on the list!!! Ken Montgomery's car will be a stick and I think Steve Atwell's car is a '65 SS/BA car.

I'd love to start putting photos with the names. There are quite a few on there I've never seen.

Keep up the good work.

At Indy I asked at the Mopar trailer for a Hemi Shootout decal. I basically got the same type of answer!!! I think Mopar is missing the boat with merchandising(sp?). They would sell tons of hats , decals and t-shirts. I did come home with a copy of the eliminations ladder autographed by every driver in the shootout!!! Including Jegs!! Fred Henson gave me the printout and suggested we do it. I have it framed in my office!!! I also bought 12 t-shirts from various SS/AA teams!!! Didn't by any pro team t-shirts though. I was there for the Hemi cars!!

He building another 68 cuda right now,he still has his comp car,and his Dad still has his Gt car,His Dad is the world champion in NSCA racing for 2005,But will drive the new stick car in SS/AH next year,they both like heads up racing.So I don't think he will be building a new shoe polish car.No future in that type of racing.

Guys,
I have no information on where the "Go Hummer" Dart went to. I was just going through some of my records this morning. If anyone knows the second owner or VIN# of that car PM me and we might be able to put it together. I have ALOT of partial histories. Did the car stay in OH or go elsewhere?

I didn't mean to be to pesimestic about the other teams out there in my earlier post. It is just that Wescott and Holton have been tough. BUT in drag racing anything can happen. Also, I'm sure everyone has been working hard over the winter. Every single team running one of these cars has my respect big time .

You know I believe Jim Walton in KY still has a Dart that was an Ohio car. I also heard that he had a former Dart that had been wrecked years ago.
The Dart was Red & Gold and had a custom interior
seat & door panels. (see attachment)

Jim Kramer had what is left of a factory dart wrecked on his farm several years ago.
Another factory Dart is that of Marvin Graves from Alabama. "Tammy's Toy"

I no he can build hemis without a doubt, to tell u the truth i hope he beats theses SS/AA guys. I am a really big fan of the B cars and would like to see some of them be tough to beat. We are good friends with the Marshall's and i love to see them build a motor to beat some of theses guys. He has the money but he is a conservative guy and doesnt like to break parts.

That wilkes car may be a big threat next year. He comes and tests that car at trails all the time and he was puttin up some low 8.70 passes. also pretty consistantlY

Also does anyone have a picture of any of Danny Smiths cars.

Re: 68CUDA&DART PICS ,VIDEO,E.T.S OF THE SS/AH CARS. - 12/27/05 11:40 AM

I am really enjoying all these pictures and all the chatter going on about these cars, LOVE it. One thing I love the most about these cars is when they make the call on the PA system and they head to the staging lanes. I love to stand where the pit road changes to the staging lanes and just watch ,listen and smell these cars go by, it's a beautiful thing. I have some pictures at work I'll get next week and show them. They are from Indy 69. Akron Vankes car, in blue, a 68 Dart with the Yankee Peddler name and a Dart with Gene Snows name on it. Jeff that is some list of names, I have always heard good things bout you.

Jeff,

Thanks for putting the list together!

One minor correction - Chuck Rayburn used to own and drive the Lamb Components car. He is often confused with...

Dave Raybourn, who used to have several cars - a blue Dart with yellow flames, then he bought the Beshore Cuda and repainted it white with purple flames, I believe. I heard rumors that Mr. Raybourn may be jumping back into the fray? Can anyone confirm or deny?

Also, Chuck Comella is not on your list. See the attachment for a photo from the '05 US Nats.

This thread is getting so large that I am not sure this was ever answered. If not the car belongs to Div 5 racer Pat Forsyth from Lawrence, Kansas. That car has some history also as I believe it started out as a body in white and was an Arlan Vanke car.

Here are the numbers for the first 8 second SS/AA run. I was at the top end when Don made the run. I picked up the extra ET slip from the bye side. I have since misplaced it. The pic is from the info I submitted for our local Mopar Club newsletter. I thought Don was going to back it up so I didn't get Buckys bye ET slips on his record and backup runs.



I know there was controversy about Don making the first 8 second run since he didn't have to tear down, thus not proving he was legal.

This car was owned and restored by Jerry Ferguson of Westlake, La. It is a "real" hemi dart. He has since sold it. Don't know to whom.

Re: POST YOUR OWN PICS OF 68 CUDA AND DARTS ONLY - 12/30/05 02:22 AM

If anyone wants to register ssahfans.com or some other domain to develop a website for organizing all this great information and providing a better platform for displaying all the great photos, please let me know and I will provide the server for free, unlimited emails and enough bandwith and disk space to catalog all the pics. I've been a big fan of these cars for years and have being able to see pics of west coast cars that I may never see is great.

If you want to take me up on my offer please email me after your purchase your domain...I think it is like $5 a year to own a domain.

Yes, ssah.com is already taken by an animal hospital so you might need to be more creative.

There used to be a site racehemi-maxwedge.com but it just disappeared. Guess the guy got tired of maintaining it or it got too expensive. It had a nice black 68 SS Cuda on it and forums, it was an interesting site. I would like to see something like that come back. It would be awesome to catalog all of these picture on one site sort of like Hemifred's pro-stock site.

I'll throw a little controversy in here. The first actual 8 sec. run by a SS/A stick car was by Allyn Lee. He chose not to back it up at the time because he was running fuel that was supposedly not allowed. A week or two later, the first "legitimate" 8's were recorded, using the very fuel that was previously deemed not legal for S/S use. Actually, it was a fuel additive, I don't recall what it is, but Hemi's respond very well to it.

Wasn't that at an altitude factored track?
If so, that's the biggest part of the controversy.

Re: POST YOUR OWN PICS OF 68 CUDA AND DARTS ONLY - 12/31/05 01:14 AM

Some has emailed me and taken up my offer and will hopefully be creating a great website for all us fans to follow the action and catalog pictures for easy viewing and downloading.

At this time I can confirm what you have read on the board, my car will be a stick-cuda with a new head and intake from MCH. Car is at the body shop getting some final work and will be painted shortly. We are still gathering engine parts. Our goal is to test the car in Sept. and attend a few races in Oct. like the Atco Div. 1 event, Dutch Classic, and possibly the Virginia National.

Happy Holidays,
Matt

I'm pretty sure the one red plug wire is to designate #1 when they are working on the car and have the wires off. Notice the firing order on the distributor cap.

They have those fender covers custom made out of fine corinthian leather.you have to see them in person,Smiths also have a guy that just keeps everything polish.West coast hemis team also have those covers.

Re: 68CUDA&DART PICS ,VIDEO,E.T.S OF THE SS/AH CARS. - 12/31/05 04:09 AM

I thought the same thing on the plug wires then I saw a couple of Westcotts motors that had red wires on cylinders 1 + 2.

It's something that's not to hard to keep track of in my opinion but it's probably part of the KISS program.

Hey mrnobodyracer, First thanks for all your posts on SS/AA (sorry SS/AH racing) PLEASE keep it up.

I thought that may be one of the Smith's cars judging by the detail.( but I was afraid to mention it and be wrong again) Next time you see Charlie ask him if the red wires are part of a mind game , voodoo type thing as he's gotta know Everyone is eyeballing his engines with a magnifying glass based on his DOMINATION of the class.

I am in awe how such a young guy who has been based in GM engines and who works a day job and does engines at night has become THE man in SS/AH. It's nice to see hard work rewarded.

Fine Corinthian Leather = too rich for my blood

On the Smiths... I was at the Mopar Nats (88 or 89 I think as I just got my drivers license) and Eddie and Mike show up with a huge rig with 3 or 4 Cudas , one they were running that day, the others were for sale. One of the rollers had all of the chassis work done but the entire body was still just bare steel. The body was PERFECT even where the wheel lips were stretched, not a hit of filler. One sight I will never forget. Them boys always have some real clean cars!

Here is a picture of charlie engine all red wires. You have to love those clear valve covers. You can blow all these pictures up just go down to the right hand corner and you will see the arrows to blow them up.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006.

2006 racing season is shaping up to be the biggest and best ever for the Hemi-powered teams.They should have the largest field for the shootouts yet. I would look for 40 to 50 teams at the US nationals this year. I also understand they will have Hemi-shootouts with a Match race format.Having the big Hemi-guns lineup for a best of 3 to 5 rounds race and that will be exicting for both the fans and the racers. NSCA will have lots of Hemi cars running with the Fords and Chevy's In heads up racing only in Pro Nostalgia class.

Stewart, I should have told you about that - Check techauthority.com or Mancini racing's website. The book was written by Larry Sheppard.
I got one for Christmas!
Mark J




I was wondering who wrote it, nowhere in the book is there a name, but it reads like it was written by someone who knows. I remember talking with Larry at the Mopar Nats a few years ago and he had a radiator he was selling as an original Hemi Dart rad (2898033) but had the number 2898038 which is a B-Body rad. He was asking $500 for it and swore up and down he personally took it out of a Hemi Dart.

Re: 68 CUDA & DARTS CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 01/05/06 04:30 PM

Rhino, I think that may have been another Larry Shepard.
The Larry Shepard referred to is one of the top Mopar tech guys and can usually be found at the Mopar display at events.
Here's a photo I found online. He's the one on the Right with glasses.

Yep there are 2 Larry Shepherds - the one that worked as the parts coordinator for Chrysler and the "other" one -- I was not comfortable with the "other" one.

Oh really, I always wondered about that. The one I am referring to has always had a swap spot at the Nats on the end of the aisle and has tons of Hemi parts for sale. He is much older looking than the one in the picture.

Re: 68 CUDA & DARTS CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 01/05/06 06:05 PM

the "other" one is older - and usually has some type of add in ND. and I am still not comfortable with him. I have not had any dealings with him, but I have talked to him.

The other Larry Shepard's not to swift either.Every year at the Mopar Nats that guy would tell me that the composite hemi head gaskets that were already in the MP catalog,would be out in a couple of months.After waiting a year,I new this guy was full of beans.

Never delt with him directly, but he drags the same stuff to the nats year after year. If it doesn't sell, raise the price and bring it back.

Re: 68 CUDA & DARTS CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 01/06/06 02:55 PM

Yep, that's the guy. Have you guys been following the Hemi A-Body thread on the Question and Answer section. I think we need a new section on Hemi A-bodies in Moparts, these threads get LOOOOOONNGGGGG!

Re: 68 CUDA & DARTS CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 01/06/06 07:35 PM

The new Hemi in a Barracuda convertible, that is a friend of mine from Texas. It would be a real shame if that conversion didn't end up in one of the magazines. If it was stick a lawn mower engine in a corvette it would be on the covers of everything. Not that I have anything against lawn mowers.

The March 2006 issue of Mopar Muscle has the results of their Hemi Challenge for engine builders. Larry Sheppard of Akron OH. from "Hemis Only" was an entry. Is this the same guy you are talking about? In the results it says he was disqualified for using "parts outside of the rules". Also says he is a Top Fuel mechanic and clutch man.

Oh well, does anybody have anymore SS/AH information or has everybody gone to the new board with this stuff?

Jeff, do they run at the same HP factor? How much power loss do you have with the shorter intake vs. the '68 cars? Inquiring minds want to know.

Being a vet, I try to pay attention to folks that take care of vets. It blew me away when he gave the $10k to the USO.

I showed my wife pictures of Warfish and told her what Charlie did. I also said that I will make sure to spend money with his sponsors. She agreed and said he was a class act. She sees mags laying all around the house with pictures of cool mopars, and of all those cars the Warfish is the one she will always recognize.

I am very happy he made the list. Thanks for remembering our guys in the field Charlie

I think they should be allowed to run. They are of the same "spirit" as the '68 cars.(Factory built race cars)

I would like to see a big money, heads-up, non-NHRA race for the SS/AH cars. Like the outlaw 10.5 guys do. Something like $20,000.00 to win. Have NHRA tech with a pro-tree.(no redlights) Have it in the center of the country.(Indy,St.Louis,etc.) Make it an all run field with a qualifying ladder. Qualify on Friday night and two times on Saturday, race on Sunday.

I think you could get 50+ cars to show. I know Vegas and Englishtown sort of do this. They don't draw from the entire country at these races and have small fields. I think if you did this right it would be huge.

What do you guys think???

Re: 68 CUDA & DARTS CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 01/29/06 03:50 AM

Class runoffs for Stock and Super Stock have been done on Thursday in the past.
Come to think, is Super Stock running at the Gators this year? The Gators is one of the events that drop one of the Sportsman classes on rotation. This is what NHRA calls their 'enhanced program'.
IIRC, last year was Stock, year before was SG. I'll be dissapointed if it is Super Stocks turn this year with all the new cars coming out.

I count 9 on NHRA.com. They still have them listed as SS/AA!!! There are 10 if you count Dave Thomas' Corvette. I guess they will correct the error later? I included Smyth's SS/A in my count of 9. Wescott lists his 426 as a Jeep!!!

I wonder if the other racers get tired of CW winning, could they protest his engine combo since Jeep never used a 426 Hemi in any of it's vehicles? Or should they make him run GT since he is using an engine from another year and model?

Yes super stock will be at the gators this year. But don't look for a lot of new cars to be at the gators this year, NHRA has this thing called grade points,and most of them don't have the grade points yet to get in,they will have to go to the div meets to get grade points, one point per div meet just another way for NHRA to control who will race at nationals event and another expense for the racers. Most of the guys that will be at the gators have 6 grade points that they earn last year. and NHRA also has only made room for 110 cars total for super stock at the gators and that for all super stock class cars.

Hi Jody, check the web page in about 2 more weeks. I think more will sign up as grade points have diff times you can enter your car grade point 6 first and then 5 and so on until they fill the field of 110 cars total.

Charlie has always listed his as a 426 jeep in all the nationals since he has been running in ss/aa.He also had a bowtie on the roof of his cuda,He did take that off it upset a lot of people. But he won a lot with the bowtie cars and his dad is still driving his super stock which is a gm car,until his cuda is ready.The engine in his cuda is the right engine and he has had to take it apart often for the tech guys at NHRA.That is what so great about charlie engines they are all legal and they go fast.And yes I guess they are tired of him winning, but he is young and one of the hardest workers you will ever meet and most people don't understand his sense of humor like the jeep thing.That is just charlie.

I hope a collector buys this car, need to keep these cars for the history,No racer will buy because they can built one and make it a top ten car for 250000.that car would cost another 100000+ on top of what they are selling it for to make it a top ten car.

NHRA is going to have to do something so all SS/AH cars can race,since they could almost meet the quota of 110,If all 87 want to race at the same event like Indy.

I think NHRA should consider a 64 car field for SS/AH at Indy. If more show up, make them qualify for the field like the old days. Maybe they could do 16 or 32 car fields at other national events.

The Hemi cars have put the SUPER back in Super Stock!

I think with amount of money that is going into this class NHRA will have to do something as the old saying goes money talks bull s!!! walks. and this field of racers have the money. And I laso think they have put SUPER back into super/stock

As of 02-02-2006 National Dragster list the SS/AH record at 9.30E.T 000mph, and Class Index At 9.80,and only three SS/AH are going to Phoenix,Ariz.Looks like that race is having a hard time getting the sportmans racers from the west to race in that national. Gators field is full in all sportsman classes.Who is going from MOPARTS? In any class?

If I had the loot to boot, I would build a SS Hemi car whether it's a Dart or Cuda and the paint scheme would be that of the original as delivered look. Black Gel coated front fenders and hood, light grey primered body and special light weight racing Black rims. Every thing else would be up to snuff in modern day race tech. Might be an idea for that wealthy racer coming into the mess.

Anybody got any SS/AH news? 2006 will be a very exciting year with all the new cars and the auto and the stick cars against each other, it get's me a little excited thinking about it.

I don`t know how much the Vette has to weigh but I do know this year that in Stk and S/S you can move up down a class , I see he went 8.77 in eliminations also did you see Chuck Rayburn go 8.97 at 145 in his 3rd round loss in Arizona thats one fast B car!

Jody, Bill car is a new car it has Barton power.Pancake and Bill Brooks are going to be big players this year,so is Fred Henson with westcott power, and the Barton cars are showing lots of power. No west coast Hemi Yet,But they always make big power. Should be a great year.

The WARFISH is on his way to pick up one of his cars from the chassis shop,Now which one will show up at vegas? He is not going to the gators,but going to vegas,to test before the race at the strip.

John Raines is supposed to be in attendance with his new Westcott motor. I'm sure Mazz and the DeFrank team will be in attendance, also. Other than that, I have no clue!!

I'm working 24/7 so I can fly in on Thursday night to help my team and I'll fly back home Sunday morning to get back to work. Only 6 more weeks until April 15!!

How come they dont have unadjusted records, only reason I ask is a friend of mine Hopkins holds it,I think he ran in the 8.6's last year, anyway Randy is down south somewhere go luck to him he had some real bad luck last year down there.
Posted By: JulieJordan

Re: SS/AH RACING 2006 AT MATS - 03/01/06 08:33 PM

I don't know what you mean by unadjusted record. However, Randy doesn't hold the record nor has he (ever, I believe). He ran 8.60's in Florida 2 years ago and hasn't really been close since.

Re: SS/AH RACING 2006 AT MATS - 03/02/06 04:41 AM

julie are you saying that by the same standard that hopkins hasnt ran even close,,that the west coast hemi team doesnt have two cars that run ever close to each other?? i always see your dads car .07-.10 quicker than mikes car or jerry's car.

when hopkins ran that 8.62 it ran a real good front half, but stunk in the back half,, it only went 147 something if i remember correctly,, but went 1.12 60 ft or so. at that time even if the record wasnt an altitude corrected deal, it still wasnt the quickest run that year,, im sure holton was.

i dont like altitude corrected records,, running in 2000ft d.a. air with a .20 correction is exactly like the rare air you see at certain tracks,, but usually the weather that goes along with it isnt cooperative,, rain,, cold,, so on. its alot easier to get a car down the track with 60 less horsepower just to get the power back in the correction on the time sheet.

i havent/dont complain about the altitude corrected records that holton has had because he has/is the fastest car in the land. westcott is catching up, but i believe that holton wasnt running up to snuff at indy in '05 and was about .04 slower than he should have been, up till the day of class then they tuned it up.

people are catch ing up,, and some guys are hard headed to work on what they believe is the right way to go for their combos. im that way, and little joes car at indy was a pig,, we didnt fix it till after the race and kept working on it till it became obvious what was wrong,, now we have a better understanding of what was going on and hopefully we can nuture that for more et/horsepower. randy is the same way, even when he ran that 62, he knew it wasnt the best and kept working on it and lost the combo,, it wouldnt run in bad air,, only cold air,, so that combo was pushed aside. we will see this weekend whether he has picked anything up or not, but he has carb problems,, as does joe,, we will hopefully get joe, randy,, and everyone else fixed up to whatever i can do for them in help by the sports nationals then we will see where everyone lies on the food chain. im sure holton and westcott will be top dogs,, but wilkes, hopkins, teuton, caro, henson,, and so on will be right there.

im not trying to harass you julie,, but when you reread that post about randy,, do you see it sounding a little belittling??

thanks,, jeff

Re: SS/AH RACING 2006 AT MATS - 03/02/06 02:26 PM

That is what I was asking,I just now that he ran really good and it was unadjusted, to bad the couldnt have 2 sets of e.t.'s records but I can see the problems with that.
Posted By: JulieJordan

Re: SS/AH RACING 2006 AT MATS - 03/02/06 04:59 PM

Jeff, I'm sorry you inferred that I was belittling Randy as that wasn't my intention at all. I was just correcting the poster who said that Randy held the record and that, yes, he did run in the 60's at that one race but, for whatever reason, hasn't had much success hitting that barrier again. Just a short, to the point, and accurate response. Don't make it any more than it was, please.

Re: SS/AH RACING 2006 AT MATS - 03/02/06 05:22 PM

julie, when you read it thats what it sounds like. i read it to a few ss guys and they thought the same thing. im not making it into anything,, just telling you how that sounded the way you worded it.

the quickest run ever is holton i believe,, 8.56

fastest run ever is westcott,, dont know mph, but almost 154mph,, he had a 157 before but had a tail wind and he though the clocks were messed up.

Thanks for the pics, Mike. It should be noted that the motor in the Dart is not one of Dad's. Also, the paint scheme duplicates the paint scheme from when the current owners bought the car, not the way we had it painted when we owned it. It turned out nice, though. Still an un-tubbed car.

My wife bought me a book for Xmas called: Vintage and Historic Drag Racers and that Dart ( the red and white one) was in it with a brief history on it. Its cool to see all these Darts being built for AH, I really like the Darts as I`ve had a 68 Dart s/b bracket car for 24 years.

Re: 68 CUDA & DARTS CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 03/06/06 05:46 PM

As of today 3-05-2006 here is a list of SS/AH cars that will be at the gators.

1.Fred Henson 68 Dart
2.Wendell Howes 68 Cuda
3.Eddie Smith 68 Cuda
4.Joey Wilkes 68 Cuda
5.Darrell Marvel 68 Cuda
6.Jerry Caro 68 Dart

The Barton Group
7.Al Smyth III 68 Cuda Stick

8.JIM PANCAKE- 68 Cuda--NEW RECORD HOLDER

9.Michael Barton/R Mahan 68 Cuda New Car
10.David Barton 68 Dart
11.Bob Wolkwitz 68 Dart
-------------------------------------
12.John Gifford 68 Cuda
13.Mark Howes 68 Dart New Car
14.Mike Smith 68 Cuda




Only a Total of 110 Super Stock Cars are allowed,111 have enter and by the looks of the list the only Mopars enter are these cars, and 2 in in another class of Super Stock. Grade point 4 gets to enter on 03-05-06 and they did QUTOA IS FULL For Super/Stock now. NHRA is going to have to do something so all SS/AH cars can race,since they could almost meet the quota of 110,If all 87 want to race at the same event like Indy.


UPDATE FIELD IS FULL.

Re: 68 CUDA & DARTS CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 03/06/06 10:23 PM

I really think NHRA should look at allowing an all run field for the Hemi Shootout on Friday and allow the cars with grade points to go on to the SS eliminator(bracket race). The shootout has become more than just a class eliminator. It has become it's own prestigous race!! Mopar should request NHRA to do this. I think it would be a hit with the fans and racers. Maybe we should start an email campain to NHRA asking for this?

Re: 68 CUDA & DARTS CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 03/07/06 06:33 PM

Jody, I also think they should allow all SS/AH cars to run in the shootout this year,Because most of the new guys won't have grade points to get to Indy this year. With Pancake setting the record at 8.61 at Bella rose this past weekend its going to be a super season.

I would look for the top guys to be in the 8.50 soon.


One has to wonder if these guys find new way to make the 68 run better every year with lots of R&D maybe the Pro Stock teams need to find out what going on in this class.


What do you guys think will end up the record before the season is over???????
Posted By: Hemi_Jack

Re: 68 CUDA & DARTS CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 03/07/06 06:53 PM

Well if they get mineshaft conditions I think you may see a low 8.50. I don't think they will get into the high 8.40's but it would be great if I was wrong!

Bella Rose will be the First Hemi Shootout that I belive you will see with alot of the New and old SS/AH Cars if I have to guess I would think about 30 cars will be in the field.

Re: 68 CUDA & DARTS CARS FOR SS/AH RACING 2006 - 03/11/06 04:45 AM

i was wrong before saying that holton had the quickest run uncorrected(8.56). he has the quickest on the books, doing it first round of eliminations at belle rose last year, but westcott went an 8.54 on test day at atco last fall.

Our first outing of the year will be next weekend in Vegas at MATS. We are hoping to be there on Thursday so we can do some testing. We're only taking two cars. The new motor didn't perform to Dad's expectations on the dyno and it's already torn apart and changes being made. Jerry is going to drive the "HarCuda" and Jeggie will drive Ogburn's car for this event. Our top motor, "Seabiscuit", will be in Ogburn's car for the first time so we'll see how that goes. The cars are really quite different.

After that, we will be heading east for the Sportsnationals.

Thanks, Mike. Looks like the Vegas participation will be down, too. Charlie isn't coming out. DeFrank's new motor isn't ready so they're sitting out. I heard Mazzolini wasn't ready either. Looks like it's going to end up being more of a testing weekend for everyone rather than a shootout. Oh, well, I'm just so jazzed to get away from my desk for a few days that I don't care!!

Not really on the subject, but I noticed there was also one brand X SS/AA car running. And it seemed to be pretty quick too.

Who could have thought a couple of years ago, that you could get a SS/AA race car by selling well in Tupperware parties?

There are no more Hemis in SS/AA. All Hemi Cars are now SS/AH. So basically the vettes, which if i remember were in SS/BA, could be wrong on the /BA, but anywayz the vettes moved up a class into SS/AA. They won't be racing against darts and cudas.

Re: you mean this GROSS thing - 03/17/06 12:42 PM

Aren't the SS/AH cars only '68 models? At least in hte beginning it was like that, so the light '65 cars should still be SS/AA?

Thats still being decided. As of current i belive it is officially only the 68 cars. i know the 64 cars want in AH, just gotta wait and see what the NHRA does.

Whats funny is the Guy in the Vette used to have an AA Cuda years ago, if he would have put half the effort into the Cuda that he`s put in the Vette junk he`d really be flyin!

Hi Stewart, Miss you today,My great nextel phone would not work anywhere in the pits today,got to the track at 6.30am and I could not belive the people that were there and they just kept coming all day long,SS/AH was not worth watching after the first round,marvel lost an engine,pancake lost his tranny,and round two was just two cars,with barton winning over henson.Barton has brooks car running well.henson as/a is a killer car.He packed up and left to go back to texas,and marvel left to go back to michigan.

Jeff do you know who Bryon latino is from la. he has enter a SS/AH at houston?

Re: 68CUDA&DARTS PICS, NEWS AND UPDATES - 03/23/06 04:30 PM

ok, there are many versoins of "c-25" gas.some people always say they dont want to do what was done at indy in past years. pull the cars to the lanes, have the vp guy fill the cell and seal it off. that way everyone runs a known fuel that is the same as everyone elses. thats the way i want it,, vp would also give the gas to the guys to run the shootouts. just sounds like a good deal to me.

Here is a snip that I got from Horsepower Heaven from today at Vegas......

Friday March 24, 2006

Alberta racer walks away from big Vegas wreck
Alberta driver John Jenovese walked away from a major accident at Las Vegas Motor Speedway today during bracket racing at MOPARS at the STRIP. "He hit both walls hard and the car is more-or-less a ball" photographer Rich Carlson told HH this evening. "He'll be hurting tomorrow" Carlson added. Jenovese was in a seven second door car believed to be an 80s Daytona.

In other word from the event, Jerry Jenkins captured the Cannery Casino Super Stock Hemi Shoot-out Low ET award, though we await the exact numbers.

NOTE: I believe Jenkins is driving the "HAR-CUDA" this weekend.

Hi Mike,

I didn't take my laptop with me to Vegas so unable to post any results. We actually had 7 cars in attendance, which was down from the year before. A lot of racers are waiting for engine projects to finish so were unable to attend. We left one car home, too. John Rains had to bow out when he spun the bearings in his new motor.

Jeggie drove Ogburn's Cuda and Jerry was in the HarCuda. We had great weather, an awesome track, lots of enthusiastic Mopar fans. Got to see the unveiling of the new Challenger. What a beauty!!

Julie,I was not putting down the shootout,and I didn't know that Jeggie drives for free.and the 7 cars at the gators only race for a wally.

I also don't look at marie's site to often,because of all the bashing that goes on. Gets real old real fast,for the amount of money that is put out on SS/AH cars nobody should be bashing anyone. and the Moparts site I don't see that going on. This is the best site on the internet for Mopar's These guys are great here.

Jody thank you for the pics and e.t from that race,I will post the e.t,but I will have to use michael adjusted e.ts.

Just talked to charlie westcott,and it looks like he will miss Bella Rosa Shootout,Just ran his good motor on the dyno with all the good stuff,and it had a parts failure and now the block is hurt bad, so he would have to run the engine that he ran two years ago with the old setup.Its to late to build another new motor for Bella rose. So I guess we will have to see what happens.

Julie, He had alot of time and R&D in that motor,getting good parts nowadays as you know is a real challenge. and he still has motors to build for customers.

Re: 68CUDA&DARTS PICS, NEWS AND UPDATES - 03/29/06 11:22 PM

Mike,

Trust me, as the daughter of an engine builder, I know! Dad worked the last 6 months on "motor #4" and had it on the dyno a few weeks ago. No where near the hp readings he expects so back to the engine stand it went, torn apart, order new pistons, etc. He tried a bunch of new things and some worked, some didn't. Now it's kind of on the back burner because now that we started racing again, the cars need to be maintained/repaired between events. It's never ending!!

Tell CW I sympathize. I'm sure it doesn't ease the strain on his mind and wallet, however!!

Re: 68CUDA&DARTS PICS, NEWS AND UPDATES - 03/30/06 03:13 AM

HEMI SHOOTOUT AT THE MATS
adjusted e.t altitude on satuday was over 3300ft
as I understand from the owner of west coast hemis team Michael Ogburn you take Actual e.t and NHRA factor of .9757 to get adjusted e.t. Example.
8.80 actual e.t
.9757 Nhra Factor
=8.59 Adjusted e.t

So this is the quickest field of Hemis so far this year 2006.All e.t below have been adjusted.

1.Jeggie------------ 8.59 winner-SS.AH
2.Jerry Jenkins------8.61 ru-----SS/AH
3.Mark V------------8.69--------SS/AH
4.John Percy--------8.72--------SS/AA
5.Bob Mazz----------8.76--------SS/AH
6.John Rains--------8.82 spun bearing on run.AH
7.Norm Scott--------8.94--------SS/AA


So it looks like Bella Rose is going to have a super fast field of cars. Thanks to Michael Ogburn for this info.
Thank you Juile for the correction.

Re: 68CUDA&DARTS PICS, NEWS AND UPDATES - 03/30/06 03:34 AM

Mike ~

Ogburn is close but a little off (well we know HE is a lot off but that's another topic!! ). The altitude conversion factor for Vegas is .9757. Thus, Jeggie's run equates to an 8.59.

All the altitude correction factors are listed on the NHRA website.

I know this is sorta *off topic* and I hail from the enemy camp, but being a S/S junkie I've been following this thread from the beginning and noticed a couple folks wondering exactly *how* the 'Vettes got into SS/A or what *politics* were involved...I realize that for '06 the NHRA is allowing folks to play class musical chairs of sorts (which I'm not sure I like or not, yet), but while there aren't a lot of them campaigned there were some SS/A Chevrolet combos originally.

Anyway, for those of you brave souls still with me, here's Chevy's SS/A offerings (that is from '70 on when A was 6.00-6.49), and I pulled the "back then" info from my vintage NHRA class guide:

Back Then:
'67 L71/L89 (427/435hp, 3x2 carbs, al. heads) = 6.21 @ 495hp
'67 L88 (427/430hp, 1x4 carb, al. heads) = 6.33 @ 480hp
'68 L71/L89 (427/435hp, 3x2 carbs, al. heads) = 6.32 @ 495hp

Today:
'67 L71/L89 (427/435hp, 3x2 carbs, al. heads) = 6.41 @ 495hp
'68 L71/L89 (427/435hp, 3x2 carbs, al. heads) = 6.32 @ 495hp

Somewhere along the way they lost the L88 combo? Also, I hate to detract from this great thread, but I would like to hear if any of the above combos are running out there? THANKS!

Yes, there WAS a 67 L88 vette owned by Scott Wilcox that ran SS/A back in the late 80's/early 90's. The car was very successful and never outrun by any hemi's back then, but after some sniveling by those seeing too much of the vette's back bumper NHRA decided that there were not enough of those cars built to be legal, even though that car had already been running for several years.
Posted By: Chevy454

Re: 68CUDA&DARTS PICS, NEWS AND UPDATES - 04/01/06 03:10 AM

Thanks for the info, Rick! While the L88 always got the rep as being the Corvette bad boy (except for the ZL1), I've always felt that while the 435hp engine while lacking a bit on cam lift (~.040"), made up for it on the induction side with the 3x2 carbs...and NHRA must agree to some point, to hang it with a 495 rating? But then again, what do I know!

On the subject of SS/AH cars, around 2 years ago a local feller here brought me a couple of polaroids of an original '68 Hemi 'Cuda in a guy's garage...I'd heard of the car for years (story was guy was a logger/sawmiller, bought the car originally, had it ever since, was known to be involved in shady deals) but never knew if it was real unti the guy showed up with pictures...I checked 'em out, got some info on the car (VIN was a good one), and was trying to figure out how to scrape up the 50-large + finders fee for it...but I drug my feet, I saw the thing on Ebay but don't think it got over like $30k and didn't meet reserve...the car was in western Kentucky...was wearing a red/white/blue paint scheme...anyone know if someone snatched it up, or do I need to take a drive?

Hi Rob, welcome to this thread,I know that some of the SS/AH guys want to race with the vettes,last year they had a race with a shootout and I think only two of the SS/ah guys would race in that shootout,But the warfish won and he did run with the vettes,I also am suprise more people are not builting cars for the SS/AA class,with them going 8.65 and pancake going 8.55 this would be great heads up racing. I am a mopar lover,but I also think they should race all comers.

I totally agree with this! Don't get me wrong, the SS/AH cars are rediculously cool, but I don't see anything wrong with variety? But don't go making up combos just so cars can run though, either.

And, I was digging through my old class guide the other day, and I see NHRA doesn't show these combos any more, but just how SICK would a 427 Cobra be in S/S? I mean, the friggin' SMALL BLOCK carried like a 5.7x factor, and the 427 had rediculous a 3.5 or something factor! (I'll try and look up the actual factors in the morning) Talk about a handful...

The cobras ARE legal, and ARE listed in the NHRA class guide the last time I looked. , but who in their right mind is going to hack up one of those. but most of the SS/A cars are clones anyway, hmmmmmmmm

I wondered what was up when my buddy said some Vette's were racing the SS/AA cars at Maplegrove in PA last year ? And he said Wescott won. And I had to work that weekend. 8.55 @ 155 is awesome. Let the SS/AH war begin as I love the SS cars. Ron

This is the final stats for 2005 hope this helps guys.




I have to post this again because its early in the season and the other post by Craig seems to think that history was made in atco by Jim pancake,Jim did make a very good run at Atco and set the record for the class,and my hat is off to him and his team,But last year stats with Harry Holton record at 8.56 would just say thats the best run so far this year.

So History NO Great Run Yes
and he has never made a run at 159mph as reported in Craig posts.

Julie, thanks for posting your reply on that thread,just makes me wonder why he didn't post here.

Re: 68CUDA&DARTS PICS, NEWS AND UPDATES - 04/01/06 07:59 PM

I think Pancake has more in it....8.40's possibly . But once again its early and i no of one big hitter that is not out yet.

Cajun sports and the Sports at NTR will be sweet.
Not to mention Indy.

Let the battle begin

Hi Julie, Fred had Charlie engine in the car,he was the only one that show up for SS/AH. No sense in beating the car up for a single.He also found out his issue with the car.and is fixing it,had to do with the crank trigger kept changing the timming.
Posted By: JulieJordan

Re: 68CUDA&DARTS PICS, NEWS AND UPDATES - 04/01/06 09:51 PM

Glad he found the problem, Mike. I thought the runs weren't quite up to par with what he should be running. I usually compare the SS/AH times to the Pro Stockers to get a bearing on conditions. I think CW does this, too.

Any hope the CW will make it to Belle Rose?

1.Fred was fighting the timing issue and then on his class run he slow down,and you are right cw does judge by what the Pro stockers run.

Any hope the CW will make it to Belle Rose?

2,Maybe today,but it will be with his old engine.

Julie, CW is trying to get his customers engines ready so they can make it Bella Rose,Once he gets them all up and running, then he has to get SR. Pontiac ready for the season and tested before he goes racing.the comp car also needs to be tested. So if all that gets done in the next few weeks,I am sure he will try to get to Bella Rose. They miss the gators for the first time since they began racing.So they both are wanting to get back to racing Asap.

The Hemi Militia is a SS/AH team T shirt,and that would be the Jackson engine tech/Warfish T-shirt you can buy them from them.It drives the G.M guys nuts.

Julie, I just can't understand why some people go after the SS/AH teams like they do,Let alone get personal your dad is the true master of the hemi cars and your record speaks for itself,But I guess now its your teams turn for this crap. Charlie won't even post anything ,because all the crap he gets.I came over to this site to get away from that,but I guess you can't get away from it. I just glad he didn't post it here.

Thanks, Mike. I don't understand it either. I know I'm opinionated and I state my opinions quite vocally. As a result, I've ruffled a few feathers from time to time (CW included but I really think he and I understand and respect each other now). I try very hard, however, to stick to my opinions and not personally attack a person. I try to let the negatives roll off me but sometimes... Ha ha!

How's CW doing? Belle Rose hopeful?

Re: 68CUDA&DARTS SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/06/06 12:41 PM

I really think all of the bashing of the Hemi teams is because of one thing, jelousy!! The SS/AH teams are the hottest thing in sportsman drag racing right now. The other class racers(not all by any means) are jelous of the attention and press these cars get. They look for anything to attack and attempt to drag this class down. These cars have a "bloodline" directly back to the golden age of drag racing. That is why they are so interesting to me, a Ford racer!!! Some people will always attempt to tear down a good thing. There are a whole bunch more people who enjoy these cars than dislike them!!!

I really think all of the bashing of the Hemi teams is because of one thing, jelousy!! The SS/AH teams are the hottest thing in sportsman drag racing right now. The other class racers(not all by any means) are jelous of the attention and press these cars get. They look for anything to attack and attempt to drag this class down. These cars have a "bloodline" directly back to the golden age of drag racing. That is why they are so interesting to me, a Ford racer!!! Some people will always attempt to tear down a good thing. There are a whole bunch more people who enjoy these cars than dislike them!!!

The Hemi Militia is a SS/AH team T shirt,and that would be the Jackson engine tech/Warfish T-shirt you can buy them from them.It drives the G.M guys nuts.





Thanks for the info i just have to get that shirt.

Thanks for the compliment!!! Stop by at the races and say hey if you see us there.

Hey there MrNobodyracer!! Things are starting to heat up in SS/AH. We need to get these new cars out there and get those grade points!!! Indy will be here before you know it!!!

Do you know anything about this car?
50 .. SS/AH .. 9.80 .. 31.990 .. 22.190 .. 162 .. Rick Barrick ..
Westminster MD 68 Barracuda

He is from a town 8 miles from me. I think this is the car I was trying to track down over the winter. I saw a small drawing of it in N.D. about 3 years ago.

He evidently had it at Atco last weekend but didn't run so good.

Anyone have any photos of the car?

I think you need to add it to your list.

I'm pretty sure it is Barton powered.

Hi Jody, I not sure how many of these cars will get grade points this year. So far the showing of the SS/AH cars this year is no more than last year.

I will add that guy to the list.

If it running 9.80s not sure barton wants his name used.

I am getting the feeling that some of these guys have the money to get into SS/AH racing,but don't have a clue on how to get them to run.

I am goning to post the cars that are enter in bella rose hemi shootout.Right now not many have enter,but I have been told they will pay at the gate. the Quota for the sportsnationals is 1536 total cars and only 164 have pre enter.

Thanks for posting. Hope to see you at the NSCA races.

Oh, I'm sure there will be more than that, Mike. I don't see any of the Cajun gang on the list. Hopefully, Darrell Marvel, Randy Hopkins and some others will be in attendance. I don't see CW on the list? Dad, as you know is entered, but Jeggie will be driving.

Are you going to be there? If so, please look me up. I know we met at Indy but we didn't really get a chance to talk. That race is so hectic it seems.

Take care and Happy Easter.

jeggie might be from ohio,but in this race he from the west coast so i look for pancake to take him out in the first round,joey wilkes will need barton power 8.72 to 8.50 another first round loser,i look for the final to be pancake and warfish thats my best guess.

I think Julie will have a word for you soon,But I like your thinking,Warfish will be there,I do belive this is going to be one of the best shootout yet.You Ohio guys stick up for your racers,I like that. Do you work for Pancake? or is he paying you?

go ohio - go pancake -go hemis-

Re: Re BELLE ROSE SS/AH HEMI SHOOTOUT - 04/16/06 08:10 PM

I think it's good to have Barton back in the hunt for a shootout win. Ogburn should have put Wann in his car for a double punch, or let Jerry drive his car at all the Shootouts. Put your best driver in the best car and hope it's good enough.

It was easy to take a picture of Pancake's car last year. Not many people hanging out there last year. This year will be different. May the best man/car/engine combo win.

Now, where is a good place to eat near Belle Rose? I never can find a decent place. All I found was a little place up on Highway 1 north of Plaquemine. If all you want is mudbugs, that's the place to go.

we will see who is the fastest when all these guys are on the same track. pancake has stepped up,, but does anyone remember that late last year at atco in worse conditions westcott went an 8.54??? the top three cars are pancake, westcott, and which ever car has the best engine from the west coast hemi clan. ill bet there isnt .03 between the three of them. pancake can drive, so can westcott, so can coughlin. this years shootouts wont be a cake walk for anyone.

You forgot bucky hess,i agree with you but pancake has the best record for 2006 with barton power the west coast hemi have a record also for 2006,for some reason charlie has not race yet this year? and now on marie site no engine trouble,so i guess bella rose will tell how his good engine will stack up this year.i just think this is barton power year and pancake has the record that i belive will stand all year.i will be at bella rose again this year to watch this great race. :thum

New SS/AH Car - Latest Product of MR2 Performance - 04/18/06 04:00 AM

This is the latest product of MR2 Performance, a new SS/AH car, filmed during initial testing at Gateway back a little over a week ago.

Car will make it's competition debut at the upcoming Indy Div. 3 meet (sorry, not enough time to make the tow to Bella Rose).

Thanks to MR2 Performance and Steve Morris Racing Engines for helping to make this dream a reality in only 2 and half short months of long days and long weekend.

Video
Posted By: 64HemiSavoy

Re: New SS/AH Car - Latest Product of MR2 Performance - 04/18/06 10:49 AM

Darn, can't see the video at work (blocked).

We are leaving Wednesday after work to drive to Belle Rose. We have attended every year so far and were hoping to be taking the car by now but circumstances have prevented that. The past two shows have been awesome and I am sure this one will be even better.

As far as favourites go I would have to say Harry Holton is the best and I am sure he will have a race horse under Jeggie as well as the other two West Coast cars. Second will have to be Jim Pancake, he is flexing a lot of muscle right now and was last years runner up to the Warfish and would have beaten Westcott had he not lit the red bulb. Harry and Jim are class acts as they made my little girl feel so special last year, Pancake put her in his car and took a lot of time explaining things to her and then the topper was later in the day when Harry put her in the Harcuda and then had her ride with him to the staging lanes. You could not wipe the grin off her face. She still talks a about Harry all the time and has his picture hanging on her bedroom wall.

For sure anyone who will have bragging rights after this race will have to beat the Warfish. I am sure he will be ready for them. I am sure Charlie builds good horsepower but that car is one of the most consistent performing chassis out there. It looks the same on every pass and seldom spins the tires.

Are any Moparts members going to Belle Rose? Is so PM me today and maybe we can hook up?

Does anyone have the older videeo's of the Super Cuda maiden voyages? If they could e-mail them to me I would greatly appreciate it?

Great racing and may the best Hemi win.

This is the latest product of MR2 Performance, a new SS/AH car, filmed during initial testing at Gateway back a little over a week ago.

Car will make it's competition debut at the upcoming Indy Div. 3 meet (sorry, not enough time to make the tow to Bella Rose).

Thanks to MR2 Performance and Steve Morris Racing Engines for helping to make this dream a reality in only 2 and half short months of long days and long weekend.

great car hope to see it at the next shootout

[quote 1.]i just looked at marie site and she reports that charlie will have a new engine for the shootout,and that he didnt crack any pistons so mrnobody whats up with that?


2.i guess when pancake wins the shootout charlie will have his best engine at bella rose so why didnt he go to vegas?

3.i was at ntr and pancake is still running the numbers.i think that warfish team is in big trouble this year.

go ohio - go pancake -go hemis-




1.My answer to that is that is correct he didn't crack any pistons. Ask charlie when you see him at Bella rose why he didn't go to vegas. When Pancake WINS?

2.Charlie will have a new engine in his car.


3.Time will tell and the best car will win and I think all of them have a chance.

GO HEMIS

Re: Re BELLE ROSE SS/AH HEMI SHOOTOUT - 04/18/06 07:23 PM


we will see who is the fastest when all these guys are on the same track. pancake has stepped up,, but does anyone remember that late last year at atco in worse conditions westcott went an 8.54??? the top three cars are pancake, westcott, and which ever car has the best engine from the west coast hemi clan. ill bet there isnt .03 between the three of them. pancake can drive, so can westcott, so can coughlin. this years shootouts wont be a cake walk for anyone.

Jeff

Julie,
I was going to go to Bella Rose,but charlie never told me for sure that he was going,And I called him sat and left message and he never called back,so I am guessing he is on his way to bella rose.still have not heard from him.

Sorry you won't be there Mike. I just checked the weather and looks like the temps will be on the warm side, cooling some on Saturday. We've had nothing but rain here in California for the past two months so I'm looking forward to some sunshine. I survived another tax season and am ready to go racing!! Our truck left Sunday, the rest of us fly out tomorrow. My husband is on his Harley headed east and is going to join us, too. Cajun country, sunshine, hemis, family, maybe a side trip to New Orleans...going to be a nice weekend!

Now, where is a good place to eat near Belle Rose? I never can find a decent place. All I found was a little place up on Highway 1 north of Plaquemine. If all you want is mudbugs, that's the place to go.




Look me up this weekend. I'll be in the blue '73 G/SA Duster. I'm kind of local to the area and I could fill you in on a few good places to eat, depending on what you like of course. This goes for anyone. Be sure you bring proper attire as it was almost 90 degrees here today and hasn't rained in about 6 weeks. Needless to say it's very hot and dry.

Will do. I'm driving down from Dallas on Friday and will be there on Saturday. I need to drop off some Hemi heads at Southland and talk to Doug if he's at the track. Probably will hook up with 64HemiSavoy for the day and I need to see some racer buddies, Jim LeBlanc and Tony Cowell (OK, GM racers, but good people despite their preference for Bowties) and maybe see Jeff from MCH.

I think I've seen your car at the Motorplex. I might have talked to you before if you were in Ennis. "Bon chance" at the races!

mrnobodyracer,

Sorcerer SS/AH out first round at Indy

Last qualifying pass was a 8.957, so we're gaining on it.

First round car ran an 8.991 on a 8.99 dial. Driver stayed at the starting line too long. Still a little paranoid after earlier passes when I was trying to leave at (.011), (.010) and .001 ... backed off to a .098

We'll keep working on the car, power and the driver, not in that order

Hi Casey I feel for all the Hemi guys that Hess beat. Just made a mess of this shootout,Charlie had low E.T of 8.622.But I am sure this is not the way he wanted to win.

Bucky carbs were illegal,Bucky said he had the work done by others they were reworked by others.He said he didn't know they were illegal. When you have the money to built these cars and have other do the work things like this can happen. But rules are rules guys.

Lets not forget he took out Pancake, Henson, and Jeggie for that win.Do you think they should be happy about this. and Charlie was on his way out the gate on his way home everybody trusted that the car was legal.I am sure Bucky feels bad for this mess its was a waste of everybody money and time to race in this shootout.And now Mopar people have to retrack all the press and have new pictures taken with charlie and his car,and I can tell you for fact that Charlie will take more BS over this than Bucky.The Rules are the Rules and that is why they have a rule book and you have to go to teardown if you win and illegal is illegal does't make any diff if your a little illegal or alot.

Good Question.

A person speaking for Bucky has said that the Screws in the thottle plates were recessed instread of extending out where the should have been,and that now joe clark and bucky both missed looking at them or finding them or they would have been corrected. Lets wait and see what NHRA reports.

What a mess this makes, now the Brand Xers will have a field day with this. I might not agree with the way NHRA does things sometimes but they are right here. Thats what teardowns are for to keep everybody honest and legal " Rules are Rules" no matter how small the infraction, like a screw etc if its wrong its wrong. If anything good comes of this its that you better believe Bucky will know his carbs and the rules concerning them better. Congrats to the Legal Winner. I hope to see both of them at the shoot-out at E-Town during the Mopar Atlantic Nats.

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/24/06 05:13 AM

Buckys' problems in Belle Rose were the result of a problem, which had gone unnoticed, with a part that had been outsourced. Ultimately, Bucky is responsible for the legality of his car. In reality , it's not possible for him to inspect everything. The recent performance gains of the "King Cuda" are the result of hard work by those involved, not because the screws in the throttle shafts were 3/32" too short. Bucky has poured his heart and soul into SS/AH racing for nearly 20 years. His respect for the class, the cars, the people and the history of it is profound. His honesty and integrity are without question by people who know him.

Last qualifying pass was a 8.957, so we're gaining on it.

First round car ran an 8.991 on a 8.957 dial. Driver stayed at the starting line too long. Still a little paranoid after earlier passes when I was trying to leave at (.011), (.010) and .001 ... backed off to a .098

We'll keep working on the car, power and the driver, not in that order


Backaruda, Nice Job for the first time out with
your car. Mike did a nice job building that car so quick,and so far with bugs still in the car to run 8.957 was just great,I am looking forward to seeing your car in person,and please keeps us updated on your car.

Guys, this is very simple. There are explicit written technical specifications. If you violate those specifications, whether you are caught or not and whether you know it or not, you are cheating!! The rules say nothing about performance advantages, nor respect for your fellow competitor, nor the individual's integrity. They are black and white written rules that address the limits of what can be done...
Outsourced Parts - A real Racer knows every part that goes in or on his car. If the problem was a carb violation and we suggest that someone on that Team did not SEE the carb violations, that suggests that they are all BLIND! How many times have they checked to see that the carbs open fully, how many times have the carbs been on and off the car?? Did the carb guy just take it upon himself to do that, and then did not tell anyone on the Team?? AND NO ONE NOTICED ?
Most of these guys have been around/involved with these types of cars for years. They should know everything about their car and what it looks like!!
I would expect that the owner/driver of that car, should, at the next Shootout, gather all his competitors at his trailer. Stand up and tell them that he CHEATED! Not blame it on someone, nor something else. Tell them that he violated their TRUST and that he is profoundly sorry. HE WAS WRONG..
I am very disappointed in the Person involved and ashamed of all other people that suggest that "this little problem" is not SERIOUS.
IN MY WORLD, RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WRONG IS WRONG !!!!!

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/25/06 01:29 PM

calling Bucky Hess a cheater is totally lame. This guy has been doing this for a long time, way before it was the cool class with the hemi hype. That carb screw is good for about nothing when it comes to ET. Granted he is responsible for his ride, and rules need to be enforced for everyone. The NHRA made the right decision, but im sure that carb screw was an oversight. Super stock pushes the envelope on legality with every single one of its cars. Park on origional 1968 hurst super stock cuda next to a current SS/AH car. The new cars are a far cry from stock. These guys are pushing these cars to maximum within a set of written guidelines. If your not on the edge in that class, your not going fast. If someone steps over a tiny bit people jump up to call him a cheater. Its not like he was spraying nitrous to the car. Don't be suprised at the next go around when bucky pulls the screws out and the car runs the same et.

A famous racer[many years ago] once said ...it ain't cheating...it's being competitive. I'll bet every one of those cars has something not legal on it. They should just let the cars be A and AA cars again. Let them get their azzes handed to them by the Chevy boys, and it'll all quiet down. Right now, it's just a sword fight.
Posted By: CMcAllister

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/25/06 03:08 PM

So there is no misunderstanding, I do not condone cheating; not even a little bit. When things are allowed to slide, we end up where we are today, arguing over acid heads, bogus rods, bogus combinations, etc. I believe NHRA needs to do what is needed to maintain the integrity of Stock/Super Stock.
My concern was not that rules were being enforced. My problem was the automatic assumption that Bucky was intentionally cheating.
Anyone who knows Bucky, knows that doesn't happen. Anyone who knows him, knows he really does not have time to look at every piece on that car! You can debate everything else, you can call it what you want, the fact is neither Bucky or Joe knew there was an issue with that set of carbs.
One more thing, I have checked WOT on that engine. I look to be sure the throttle lever contacts the stop on the base plate, not down the bores. I didn't see it either.

Really..I must have missed that. So where do you draw the line? When do you finally have to say enough? NHRA finally had the stones to say enough..finally. Now they need to keep going and clean stock and super stock up. Its to the point of past ridiculous now. The ONLY thing I like about nascar is, illegal carbs.. they keep them. Illegal motor..they keep them. Illegal car..they keep them. Trust me that would put the brakes on this crap.
Got nothing against Hess. it sucks all the way around for him, the other racers that were there that day, Mopar, and the fans.

I would hope that the people who matter-the owners, drivers and engine builders-would have a mutual respect for each other, they all deserve it. Charlie deserves all the credit in the world for what he's accomplished. Sadly, in a situation like this, emotions sometimes boil over. Couple that with anonymous people who throw gas on the fire for their own entertainment and things can get out of hand. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail. The worst thing that could happen is a NASCAR style mud-slinging soap opera. Let's just race.

I don't know Hess from a box of apples, and I am sure he wouldn't like me or anybody else pointing fingers one way or the other. There is only a couple of people that know the whole story and you can bet that NHRA isn't going to go into it any farther

this is just my opinion, but cheating is cheating, if you put all of that money into your car, you should know what is on it. And i must say i am not a big fan of bucky especially afetr this, i remember last year he was all mad after he lost at the sportsman nationals......not like pancake or wilkes or them. they are true racers not people like bucky.

thats jus my opinion, so feel free to have a field day with it.

i was down there, and went to dinner with bucky on friday night. he overlooked this, or he knew about it. who cares?? this is embarassing for bucky and the win went to charlie. im sure after bucky thinks this over he will calm down. i didnt talk to him after he was thrown out, but could you imagine his shame?? what they threw him out for was nothing the really gave him an advantage. if he had another set of carbs on it, he still would have beat everyone that he DID beat. this is between charlie and bucky to get the trophy and that big check back. the track was total crap on saturday and things played out the way they did,, so be it. bucky is nothing less or more in my book because of this. he is a good guy and straight and honest.. period. anyone who is upset that they were taken out by him through eliminations is a baby. his carbs didnt do a damn thing for it. most of you guys on here dont know the entire story, and if you did, might think differnetly. im not going into it because its not productive for anyone.

this is the way i see it....

fastest a/h cars in the country

1. westcott(who cares what carbs)
2. bucky (who cares what carbs)
3. wilkes
4.holton
5.defrank/houser
the rest get so close and guys are working out their combos so its a judgement call. we will see at the next race when they are all together and see how it plays out. jerry caro had the best 60ft, so he had the best working car,, but he didnt run when the track went away.

By the simple fact that someone was disqualified, because of a rules violation, they cheated.. Sorry if you do not like the word, but that is just the way it is.
As for a "little cheating" versus "big cheating" - there is no difference.
Some people on this board are tool/die makers, ask them if when they are given a blueprint and it specifies a tolerance of no more than plus.001, and they make a part that is plus.0015, do they get paid?
This is not about Bucky, Charlie, Pancake, Brooks, nor any of the other people that race in the TOP SUPER STOCK class, this is about right and wrong, and stepping up and saying "I was WRONG".
The problem today is that too many people are quick to say "It wasn't my fault". IT IS YOUR FAULT - IT IS YOUR CAR - AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.....
If there are no written specifications about something, then you can be creative - but when there are rules, the rules have to be adhered to.
This is not about what NHRA does or doesn't do - nor how much they have let the Stock and Super Stock classes run wild. This is about the respect you show for your fellow competitor and yourself.
RIGHT OR WRONG -- RULES HAVE NO IN BETWEEN !!!

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/25/06 07:54 PM

I'm a little fuzzy about exactly what the variation of the screws were. I read on Marie's that it was how much of the threads stuck out on the side where they are normally staked to prevent them from working loose and falling out. If the carb guy machined them down a little, that almost sounds like blueprinting to me. NHRA said it was illegal, so that is what it is.

Cheating to me is having a 500 cubic inch engine, or aluminum rods or something really blatant. I think the word cheating shows intent to purposefully try to have an advantage. Both would be illegal. I can't see anyone purposefully cheating since their reputation is on the line. I have a friend that got caught with head gaskets that were .002" too thin. Was he cheating? No, he just didn't measure that set even though he had been running that brand for years and they came up too thin. He had a stack of the old ones at Belle Rose to prove it. Yes, he was illegal, but he wasn't cheating as I see it. You bet he'll measure those gaskets every time now.

Knowing a little about production tolerances, I suppose someone with a lot of money could buy 1000 Hemi carbs and find a set of screws that were the shortest and use them and they should be legal. I wonder if Holley will sell the butterfly screws separately?

Stewart should know about cheating. That '73 Missile car was illegal as hell as I see it. From talking with Oldfield, I suspect all of the Missile cars were illegal. Was it cheating, blueprinting or creative interpretation of the rules? Racers push the envelope and sometimes they get caught. I guess it depends on what side of the fence you are on as to whether something is cheating or blueprinting.

NHRA said it was illegal, so that is what it is.
I am not saying that cheating is not happening -- but when you get caught - have enough character to stand up and admit your were cheating - don't blame it on someone or something else.
And yes, everyone of the Missile cars were very illegal (read bogus) -- but so was Jenkins and Dyno and Sox and Booth and Maskins and Poole and VanCleeve and Bagshaw and Yow and etc etc etc --- WE all were CHEATERS !!!

the talk around here in ohio is the same things as stewart has been saying.and to keep the check and trophys and now its up to charlie to get them back what he supposed to do? like the bucky family going to give them to him.

i also read the post on marie site before they were deleted,i could not belive what bucky son was saying and blaming charlie and then all his buddy bashing charlie.

well i guess they cant cash that big check
now all he has to do is get the trophys

i was down there, and went to dinner with bucky on friday night. he overlooked this, or he knew about it. who cares?? this is embarassing for bucky and the win went to charlie. im sure after bucky thinks this over he will calm down. i didnt talk to him after he was thrown out, but could you imagine his shame?? what they threw him out for was nothing the really gave him an advantage. if he had another set of carbs on it, he still would have beat everyone that he DID beat. this is between charlie and bucky to get the trophy and that big check back. the track was total crap on saturday and things played out the way they did,, so be it. bucky is nothing less or more in my book because of this. he is a good guy and straight and honest.. period. anyone who is upset that they were taken out by him through eliminations is a baby. his carbs didnt do a damn thing for it. most of you guys on here dont know the entire story, and if you did, might think differnetly. im not going into it because its not productive for anyone.

this is the way i see it....

fastest a/h cars in the country

1. westcott(who cares what carbs)
2. bucky (who cares what carbs)
3. wilkes
4.holton
5.defrank/houser
the rest get so close and guys are working out their combos so its a judgement call. we will see at the next race when they are all together and see how it plays out. jerry caro had the best 60ft, so he had the best working car,, but he didnt run when the track went away.



jeff




Well said Jeff!!! Yes Bucky was wrong. Yes he reacted bad when it all went down. Do you expect him to be happy? I'm sure Bucky will cool off and everything will work out.

And the crap on Marie's board is insane!!! I will never post on there ever again or until she requires names and emails. What a bunch of jerks. All of this bickering among the SS/AH faithful has just given more fuel to the Hemi Haters fire.

Exactly what I said before, the brand X ers will have a field day with this. Because remember every brand X car is totally 100% legal. Like the only way a Vette can run AA is to take the Hemis out of the class. Get over it guys! and go back to racing those awesome cars!!!

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/26/06 01:35 AM

Alright then....I have a little input. First of all,Bucky is a friend of mine and has been for years. I hate it for him and for all involved that this happened...but its not the end of the world.Bucky is a great guy. I have no idea how he reacted or how he handled himself...but unless we were actually there....then all we can do is listen and believe who we choose. I can guarnatee you that if someone were to nit-pick ,every one of the SS/AH cars have something illegal.Whether it be on the suspension,engine or whatever. Not neccessarily a performance advantage...but bending the rules.

Now....I am building a new Top/Stock car. I am a welder and a rancher.I had my engine built by Southland Performance. The heads and intake were done by Jeff. If I had to go thru teardown...and it was found I was illegal because my combustion chambers had been messed with or because the cam had to much lift...well ? Yes it was my car,and it was illegal..but to call me a cheater wouldnt be very appropriate.I dont know how to check those things and I have to intrust those that did the work to do that. Do you see where I'm coming from ? The carbs on Bucky's car were done by Braswell if I'm not mistaken. Westcott said he builds his own engine and his own carbs...but I know he doesnt build the whole car. Point is...when you run a class car-there are things that other folks sometimes get hired to do that you cant really check--not everyone,but majority of racers.
To get on a computer and run off at the mouth and bash anyone is gutless. I dont care who you are. This was a bad situation and is being blown way out of proportion. Do you think folks acted like this back in the 60's ? We all push the rules....and if you dont.....you'll never be the fastest.
I saw a big named guy kicking butt in Comp. Eliminator years ago...but I noticed his clutch pedal was protruding thru the floor...not swinging like it did from the factory. It was not what the rules called for, but it wasnt a big deal...see where I'm coming from ?
I dont know Westcott,so I dont have an opinion of him. Hes a great racer and a good engine builder-thats been proven. Bucky is a good guy too and we all have similar interests. All the hoopla is good for competition....but enough is enough.
I know something else...Joe Clark is a heck of an engine builder and he is showing already he can make horsepower with the HEMI ! He hasnt been working on it that long. I like the HEMI wars. I wish I could win the lottery and play with the HEMI guys myself.....lol.
I dont know many folks on this board and I'm not trying to make any enemies. Jeff has been very good to me and I'm happy with the work he has done for me. Hes the only one I have ever talked to on here. I want apologize to any of you for the way I feel. I'm not politically correct !I know that. I just hope we can all get along and keep on racing.
Adios !

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/26/06 03:19 AM



The only check Bucky has in his posession is the "display" check Mopar presented to him at Belle Rose. For 2006, Mopar Hemi Challenge payouts come from NHRA. We're having them administer the program and assist with marketing.

Bucky's rule violation is far from what has been characterized as "cheating" in some posts here. He hasn't run off with anybody's (Charlie's)money, either. It hasn't been paid out yet.

Mopar values the rigorous inspection that racing in NHRA offers. Would you tow your car all over the country if there was no way to verify if rules were being broken by your competitors?

I was as surprised as all of you when I came to the track Sunday morning and heard the news. Mopar's the last to know !

I was glad to be able to congratulate Charlie (Sr. and Jr.) but I know he would have rather won under different terms, for sure.

Those of you hating on Charlie and/or Bucky... C'mon. Get out to the next Hemi Challenge event at the Jeg's Northern Sportsnationals in Columbus. If you saw this stuff live... how hard these guys work... they make you proud to be into Mopars and even KNOW what a hemi is and what it can do.

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/26/06 12:47 PM

Friend or Foe -- A little or A lot -- Charlie or Bucky. These are not the issues in question here.
It appears that some people are losing sight of what is Right and what is Wrong.
If you win a contest and afterwards, during a technical inspection, it is discovered that you violated the written rules - you are disqualified - you do not win - you lose because you cheated. There are no degrees of wrong. If it is your friend, he cheated. If it is your enemy, he cheated. This is very plain and simple. If you doubt this, ask your wife if she thinks Clinton had sex with Monica!
This is not the end of the world for most of the people involved. It is not about what someone else did, or if everyone else violated some rule. It is about the credibility of the series, the people that oversee it and the people that fund it..
It is about the Winner meeting the written rules.
Where this went totally bad, is the actions and comments made after the DQ. The disrespect some people have shown towards other competitors or websites, and the comments and threats still being made by a minority of people. These actions reflect badly on the people and teams involved and they should get that taken care of.
Some people, here, really need to step back and reevaluate their attitudes and core beliefs. Our society is based on rules, no one is above them nor exempt from them. If someone thinks that they are, then they are disrespecting all the rest of us and we should not tolerate it. If you do not like the rules, then work to change them.
It is very noticeable that some of the people involved - have not gotten into this bad display of a lack of self control. I applaud those people, they have the class, character and integrity to not dirty themselves nor their sponsors with this issue.
Right or Wrong - Legal or Illegal - and how you represent yourself, your family, your sponsor and your group. These are the only things that matter.... A very simple concept and an easy decision to make.

We weren't ready for Atco anyway. We hope to be at Cecil in May for the NSCA. I'd like to do some testing before then.

I'm thinking about getting me some of those recessed screw throttle shafts. I heard they make your car real fast and I need all the help I can get with this old Ford!!!

I'm looking forward to the new SS/AH cars too. I'm really looking forward to the new stick cars!!

I would guess that the screws may affect ET by maybe a thousandth or 2, but when these guys are spending big $$$$ for a couple hundredths, a free couple thou is a baragin.

Was it intentional? Maybe, maybe not, but it was illegal just the same.

Yes, it will improve flow a little. IIRC, the reason they outlawed it was that they were also thinning down the throttle shafts and they were breaking.

ok guys,, the rule from nhra is that you can drill fuel flow passages and air bleeds,, all other modifications are prohibited. now if someone has thinned blades and profiled screws but another has down leg boosters when they had straight leg from the factory,, is there a difference in this? is one legal and the other not? i think this is where bucky has a problem and why he is arguing. charlie had down leg boosters in the secondary and bucky had the thinned blades and so on. now nhra told charlie it was ok to run with those carbs, but some guys are still complaining.


julie,, do you know of anyone or did you guys get pumped for displacement on saturday? i know they pumped teuton, wilkes, and hess,, you know of anymore?

Jeff I am a little confused,then why did bucky said he knew nothing about his carbs,and he was going to take legal action against the guy that did the carbs and it was only the screws,and if nhra told charlie his carbs were alright,why would anyone complain,I didn't not know anyone one was upset about this except travis and bucky? I think this bring up a bigger question,the way it sounds now bucky knew about this all along.

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/26/06 11:04 PM

i dont know if bucky knew or not,, guys this is between bucky, charlie, and nhra. however it works out im sure it will be fine and they will all be back racing together soon. im waiting to see if nhra says the downleg booster thing is legal or not so i can do a set and see how much they are worth, but they havent made a decision yet. charlie went through tech, was ok,, the tech even knew about charlies, and others carbs on friday and let it stand, but even if they told him to take them off he would still been the fastest car. this is getting so old...

Jeff, I didn't see you around on Saturday. I saw Doug and the Teutons, Julie, Harry and most of the other racers. Maybe you were working or maybe just hiding from me?

It looked like Jeggie was right with CW in the third round in ET. There were several cars capable of winning that race, not just CW. The fastest car doesn't always win. Wilkes looked really good. The next race will be interesting with new carbs for Bucky and maybe Pancake will have his transmission problems solved.

Last qualifying pass was a 8.957, so we're gaining on it.

First round car ran an 8.991 on a 8.99 dial. Driver stayed at the starting line too long. Still a little paranoid after earlier passes when I was trying to leave at (.011), (.010) and .001 ... backed off to a .098

We'll keep working on the car, power and the driver, not in that order

I finally found this just wanted let guys see this new car.One of the new cars for the SS/AH wars,looks like for the first time out its running pretty good,also great looking car.

I apologized on there for the things I said about Charlie and Marie. I admitted that I let anger do most of my typing, after getting home late at night from Belle Rose.

It's funny how you people that weren't even there, know how everything went down. We weren't mad at Charlie for coming back and getting awarded the victory. We were just baffled that my dad was being tossed for something he knew nothing about. You guys act like you are going to check every little nut and bolt before you go to race.

He's never dealt with Braswell,and just assumed that they were legal, because that is what Joe Clark asked for. A LEGAL set of SS/AH carbs. There is a far cry from being a deliberate cheater and running parts on your car that you do not know are illegal.
My dad has never been tossed for anything, and he's been at this Hemi thing since 88'. People keep saying 30 plus tear downs, where are they? Well maybe I miscounted a few. But he set the national record 9 times, and he was torn down 3 times in one season. So he is legit, and I'm sick of you all calling him a cheater. If you want to talk about this matter on a more personal level, you can be sure that he will be at Columbus, and Englishtown. I apologize if I said some mean things at first, that's not like me. Like I said, how would you feel if this situation happened to your dad? This is my one and only post on here. I'm tired of hearing all this crap.

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/27/06 03:17 AM

Wow this thing is really blown way overboard to me. I love the SS/AH cars and as a matter of fact I love most of the SuperStock and Stock cars. I just check this post to read about how fast they are running and see the pics of these cool cars. I have nothing to say about it as I was not there and dont think it'a a big deal. It's over and handled by the people that had to handle it. Let it go. I can add that I met Bucky Hess a few years ago at Mason Dixon dragway's Mopar Show. I was walking thru the car show and walked up to look at a 66 (I believe it was a 66) Hemi Sattelite and stared to talk to the guy in the car. Then I realized who it was and asked if he was Bucky Hess ?? He said yes and then talked to me for about 20 minutes. I asked where that cool Cuda was and he told me they were taking it easy today and hanging out in the car show as his son's 65 Hemi car was there also. But he was very polite and took time to talk and tell me all about the Cuda. I don't know what happened with the carbs and don't care as its over and done but I can say Bucky Hess took time to talk with me and tell me all about the Cuda. To me thats someone who enjoys his racing and was kind enough to take his time and talk with me for almost a 1/2 hr. He is ok in my book and my opinion is I don't think he would deliberatly cheat at all but like was said someone else did the carbs. Its done and over and I would like more info on the race at Cecil County in May as I plan to try and go. Thanks , Ron

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/27/06 01:09 PM

i always thought it would be a good thing to be torn down at a meaningless race. so that nhra can look over all the little things i/we may overlook so that when it does matter you know you are totally legit. just move forward and keep on going, thats all you can do. travis i agree completely with you, but if any part that isnt up to the tech guys standards is on your or your dads car, your responsible for it. holton has been through tech many times but for instance if jeg won and was thrown out for something big so that it would justify a suspension, jeg should be suspended,, not holton. jeg drove the car. thats the way it works,, so we all know now to look for little stupid things that might not matter but infringe on nhras rules,, and we will move forward.

Travis ~ I was stuck in an airport on Monday and missed all the hoopla. I think I'm glad. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you to hang in there. A few years back my team was unjustly accused of cheating. I said things I probably shouldn't have because I was tired of all the trash talk hurting my Dad...someone I've watched work so hard, follow the rules, is very honest,achieve milestones in this sport and then get trash-talked. People believe what they want things to be, not always the way they are. You guys had a great performance in Belle Rose. Hold you head high, move on and keep at it. See you soon.

And I want to thank everybody for showing that RESPECT.

Even in conversations with me, Bucky has had nothing but the highest regard for other racers. I look forward to following the class this year.

Lessons we teach our children..
Your daughter is in the 3rd grade. She is a good student. Yesterday she had a 100-question test that she had been preparing for the last few weeks. During the test she looked at one of the answers on the paper of her friend sitting next to her. Her teacher saw her. She copied the answer off her friend's paper. The answer she copied was .0932. The correct answer was .0937. Today you heard your daughter, and her friends, at the front door, cussing, screaming, and having a temper tantrum about the wrong answer. You ask what is the problem? Your daughter replies, "I failed the test." My teacher says she saw me looking at Mary's paper and copying the answers. She said I was cheating and the proof is that I had the same wrong answer for question 68. That is not fair, why did I fail because of one answer, when all the rest of my answers were correct? Mary had the same answer and she did not fail the test. Johnny looked at her test paper and copied some answers, I saw him. He didn't fail the test. One little answer wrong, and it was only wrong by a little bit, a lot of other people did the same or worse, and now she says that I cheated.
What do you tell your daughter ??

I'd tell my daughter to stay off the internet because there are a whole bunch of people that talk out their backsides and don't know when to stop whining about things that dont matter to them. Give it a rest already.

In support of Bucky and ALL SS/AH competitors.

Re: My last comment about Belle Rose - 04/28/06 06:38 PM

It takes hundreds of parts to put one of these cars together. Some of you are saying Bucky bought a set of carbs from a reputable shop and should have read the rulebook and noticed how long the throttle plate screws were sticking out of the throttle shaft? Give me a break!

It does matter to all of us --- we are MOPAR Fanatics and want the HemiShootOut to be the premier event in drag racing - above reproach!
I, also, support Bucky and all SS/AH racers. This is not about Bucky - he is the victim -- it is about being responsible for the condition of your car - Travis and friends were the one's that got out of hand.

I great post.

Guys there are people that are trying to promote the shootout to sponsors to bring money into the Hemi shootout series,Fans seem to respond to these cars,and the fan base seems to be growing very fast,whats not to like about these cars heads up racing a great history about the cars and mopar racing. Sponsors are starting to take notice and I think a few are getting ready to jump on the band wagon as this grows with the fans.

So I think what P9x25 is saying is any violation of the rules is bad press for this great series,just make sure you are looking at everything and make sure its within the rules.
I myself belive Nhra would like nothing better than this class to go away,because they will take lots of heat from the Pro's,for some reason they think any money that is out there they should get.

Just look at the numbers of members that moparts have,and its a great site,so lets keep it that way,as a lot of people are looking.

With the high rpm (9000),what connecting rods do the ss/ah engine builders prefer?

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/29/06 02:33 AM

NHRA has an acceptable replacement rod spec. I would suspect that most are using the Oliver rod. And I believe that the RPM's are closer to 10,000
Posted By: moderncylinder

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/29/06 02:44 PM

most use manley i beam,, ive used h beam rods,, the guys trying to really spin their engines are at about 9400-9500. with a rod weight and nhra pulling out rods to weigh them after you go fast this has tightened up.

Thanks Jeff. 9400-9500 rpm Does the crankshaft have to be an oem replacement or are they allowed any 4340 piece?
Posted By: moderncylinder

Re: BELLE ROSE SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 04/29/06 07:17 PM

any 4340 aslong as its not completely machined in the counterweights like a bryant is. callies is popular, scat, cola..

Buckeye,You can e-mail charlie at warfish3651@yahoo.com or you can call him to get a copy of that DVD,Both of those engines are running some great times,charlie puts all the engines he is building now into his car and takes them testing before shipping to customers to make sure they run great times once in the Supercuda that car will run in the top with the SS/AH,and so will John Rains car out on the West Coast.
Great DVD 30 Min of test and tune on these engines.

He has been selling the DVD for 15.00 ea Phone # is on his web site www.jacksonenginetech.com Picture of the supercuda that will get one of the engine that he tested.

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 05/13/06 06:22 PM

It was owned by Mike Booker from the Spokane, WA area. He sold it to Norm Scott from Grants Pass, OR. I don't know who owned it before Booker. Last time I saw it run it was running a Harry Holton Hemi. I saw it for sale on Racingjunk but don't know if it sold. Attached is a picture when it was at Mission last year. Julie Jordan may have more info on the history of the car.

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 05/13/06 08:21 PM

I heard it's a real aluminum car, but a max wedge.

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 05/13/06 09:58 PM

If it was the one on racing junk, it was not an original aluminum car, but it had 90% of original parts on it to make it a aluminum frontend car ( if u get what i mean by that). According to the post its NOT original.

My father called on the car back about 3 years ago when Booker originally put it up for sale and Booker himself said it was originally a max wedge car, whether the aluminum came on the car or was added later i don't know.

one of the great looking new cars.

i am not sure you going to see all those guys this year that were building new cars,i see a couple of them are up for sale already.i am guessing that they can't run the numbers to race with the top guys,or they ran out of money.
Posted By: JulieJordan

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 05/15/06 04:55 PM

To my knowledge, the car isn't an original aluminum car but has a lot of the parts. It's a nice car.

Dad didn't build the motor, just helped Norm out with some things. I'm not 100% sure but I think the motor wasn't sold with the car. Norm bought a '68 Cuda from the Smith's recently.

I can tell you WARFISH will be legal NHRA,with legal gas.He dosn't play that game like some do,I know last year many did have that smelly fuel and he complain about it to deaf ears,but he will not cheat to win.

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 05/22/06 04:59 PM

Got to hang out with Don Bales some at the CC race, he had a major thrash going on with a (supposedly) new BG280 pump that destroyed his fuel system by grinding itself to pieces. New pump and system flush put him into the 9.50's.

Always the bracket racer, Don lost first round of the SS/Hemi class and bought back into the Pro bracket. He made it to 5th round and got a little money back.

Car is absolutely stunning with all new paint and powder coating underneath.

I have been thinking about this lately. When this thread first started I could not believe the number of new cars being built. Where are they? I am amazed how few actually show up and race..anywhere. When the NHRA gave out this class I thought a lot of people would step up and take advantage.
And yes it does cost a lot to go to a race and run the cars, but you cant tell me that you have the resources to build one of these and cant come up with the gas money

I think Chuck will win one soon, I'm a big fan of his. I think he traded his multi World Championship Challenger to the Teutons for the 64 car several years ago. I think he went a 9.01 earlier this year or it seems maybe he did put it in the eights.

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 05/29/06 10:02 PM

He's had the car in the 8's.

After he did his burnout yesterday, the starting line officials noted oil on the track and shut him off. It was subsequently determined that the oil hadn't come from Chuck's car. Who knows if he would've won that round or not but he missed the opportunity to try. NHRA did apologize for their error but, like Chuck told them, "that was a $15,000 mistake".

Hey, Mike, thanks!! Although don't expect anything amazing. New, virgin track surface and expected rain all throughout the weekend. I've packed a few books and my umbrella as I don't anticipate a lot of racing action!! We've had such an unseasonable wet season this year.

From the Mission website it shows Harry in a 1964 Barracuda. I'll have to check the classification sheets to see if 1964 Barracudas had the A-864 Race Hemi as an option. Ogburn must have forked out another $250k to build a new car. I suppose the shorter wheelbase might be an advantage.

Actually, Dad & Michael were paired up in round 2 of eliminations. That's a problem with multi-car teams; good possibility of racing each other. Jerry was auto-started in round 3.

Posted By: Ontos

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 06/10/06 04:11 PM

Yes!

Joe has 3 Fastbacks now. My old '68, another '68 getting "dipped" and a '67 I think he said he's using for parts. He's building one racecar and possibly a street machine as well. Since the stick cars all got lumped in with the slushbox cars, I guess the stick guys got caught snoozing at the tree as far as developing gearboxes and such. Barracuda's are also more aerodynamic.

So, yeah....look for Joe to be drivin a Fish next year

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 06/11/06 11:39 PM

thanks mike,, it was an ok weekend,,we went through tech with the car,, head off,, chack volumes, stroke, carbs,, so on, thats why i was there,, to put it back together and to try to figure out why the car was slower than it should have been based on the no problem shootout performance. we put a timing curve in it at no problem, and someone had reset the timing from where i had it, took 4 degrees out. we didnt realize that till before the first round of the jegs deal, so didnt want to pick up the car alot then have joe not know how to dial it for the race. the trans also went, in the first round it didnt shift into high, slipped 2nd bad, in the 2nd round it wouldnt shift into 2nd, joe went first to third, and had to let off to get it to shift, then couldnt catch the guy. motor was still running though,, was at 9200-9300 on the limiter for about 2 seconds both runs.....

Here is the Question asked. Will They have the Hemi Shootout at Indy this year?


Answer by Jon Asher

This was written by Jon Asher-Senior Editor at Competition Plus Magazine.

Part of the problem in promoting the Hemi Challenge is the fact that Pontiac is the Official Car of the NHRA.

Last year Mopar wanted to lead the winning driver down the return road with a brand new 2006 Hemi Charger,but NHRA actually did make the right decision in refusing to allow that because of Pontiac.After all,if you were GM and were spending all that money with NHRA{event title rights,individual team aponsorships,contingency programs etc.}you'd want to be protected too.

Yes,I know Mopar does many of the same things,but they are NOT the offical car.

While somewhat acknowledging the popularity of the Challenge NHRA still doesn't seem to quite grasp how big it really is with the fans. Car Craft Magazine {circulation approximately 400,000} gave the Challenge five or six pages of coverage of the 2004 event' while Hot Rod Magazine {circulation approximately 750,000} gave the 2005 event a whopping nine full pages. Publication like these,and many others,wouldn't be devoting these kinds of page counts to the Challenge if they didn't know thier readers didn't want to see it.

There are four things NHRA could do to improve the Challenge.

1.Eliminate the GRADE-POINT entry requirement. The vast majority of Challenge participants don't care about Super Stock eliminator. Winning the Challege is everything.If NHRA accepted all possible entrants the field might approach 60 or more cars.Just slap a little decal on the window fo those cars without grade points who are ineligible for the eliminator reading something as simple as "CO",Challenge Only.

2.Move the event to Saturday so that when eliminations begin there's a real crowd on hand.As things now stand the fans,many of whom can't get to the track until they get off work,or drive to the track from out of town,only see the final round.If they ran it on Saturday there'd be a real crowd instead of empty grandstands when the cars parade down the return road for the first round.

3.Change the front suspension rules to keep these cars safe.They're running on stuff designed for 120 MPH,not 150 MPH.Changes will keep them safe while doing nothing to improve elapsed times and speeds,but,if there did turn out to be a vast elapsed time improvement,what's wrong with that? Just change the index for eliminator racing accordingly.

4.Don't allow non-Hemi cars into the class,keep it pure

by Jon Asher


I would hope somebody from Mopar like David Hakim could lobby with NHRA to try to make this happen. Great post by Mr. Asher.

Good Question. At Indy winning the Hemi Shootout is what the Hemi guys are racing for and they have a shootout Trophy and the winner would get that.I don't think any of them care about the wally.

Mike G,
The Dart at Pomona 1969 looks like the Lonestar Engineering Dart out of TN. They had two one real and another that was later run with injectors. Originally the cars were yellow and later black & yellow. They were at Pomona in 69. If you get to the races and Jim Pancake is there show the photo to his Crewchief Bill Hensley - he now owns the car.

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 06/23/06 06:33 PM

Mike ~ No, we aren't in Fontana this weekend. We are done racing until Indy, we've been pretty busy since Belle Rose so it's time for a break. It takes Dad a while to get everything freshened up for Indy. Besides, it's going to be 100+ in California today. My swimming pool sounds a heck of a lot better than a hot racetrack!

There are a few hemis at Fontana, however. It's very hot there so the times aren't any that will make headlines! Here is what I was told:

John Raines 9.07
Mark Vierra 9.01
Bob Mazzolini 9.00
Rick Houser 9.06
Dave Raybourn Putted down track, I assume just for grade point

Chuck Rayburn (SS/BA) 9.20-something

Chuck didn't own the Cuda that he drove at Indy. It was built by Phil Mandella. They put Chuck's motor in it and ran it at that one race. Phil sold the car to someone back east, I believe it was Roger Mahan.

Chuck built his motor. I think he will tell you, however, that my Dad was of great help to him. Dad built a very baseline motor for Mazz and Mazz has worked with it since.

This is good news...but $20,000 in prize money for the whole year? Seems a little weak for the great press this gives them.
I would love to know what they spend on other events that don't give them near the exposure
These guys need to line up with someone or something that will pump up these races. I wouldn't hold my breath for NHRA or Mopar to make them any money.

The race at the US Nationals pays $10000.00 to the winner,and all of that is from Mopar. NHRA only pays the winner what ever they pay for class winner at the Nationals. Mopar and the Hemi guys really promote this race,Nhra really only cares about the Pro's

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 06/29/06 01:50 AM

Michael Ogburn has been posting $$$ for many of the shootouts in the last few years, including funding all of the west coast shootouts. He even gives the racers travel money out here. He loves the class and is doing all he can to promote it. He's got an entire package together that could be awesome...getting NHRA's approval is the only hindrance in the whole deal.

Just got the ND today. The article is good but rather misleading, too. You get the impression that Ogburn has this huge racing payroll. Besides my Dad and brother, who get paid when they work on the cars, the rest of us are volunteers. Michael generously pays our travel costs to attend the events in exchange for the work we do behind the scenes or at the track. Jerry drives the semi and, as compensation, gets all the costs of operating his racecar paid for. None of us have quit our day jobs yet!

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 07/03/06 01:09 AM

Thanks !!! mrnobodyracer and mr2performance

Startin' to get the hang of the car and am pretty happy with how it performed in it's second race (broke at the Open in Bowling Green).

Thanks to the great car Mike Roth built and an incredibly reliable engine Steve Morris put together, I didn't even really push the tree or chassis to win in Top SS. It was a blast


Unfortunately went out 1st rd of SS today, went 9.28 on a 9.30 (left the extra 170 lbs in, but no head wind) vs Doane who went a 10.15 on a 10.16, dual breakout, essentially equal lights @ .051.

Congrats to Barton and Teuton who really got the job done in their Hemi's and took them all the way to the final in the big race

Hopefully we'll keep makin' progress at Joilet, maybe with a new bullet from Morris

mr2performance, on the second car, I know where we can find a really nice red '68 to start with, just sitting outside someone shop

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 07/06/06 03:21 AM

Jeff,

Because between the big weight bars under the car and the krispy kreme donut addiction , it weighed 3,385 with me in it.

After watching others struggle to get down the track consistently, I decided to leave it all in and then on Sunday, just go bracket racing. Of course, that unfortunately ended 1st rd, maybe next time.

Had there been another hemi in the other lane on Sat. or an SS/AH on Sun., I might have taken one of the smaller bars out of the back. (or backed off the krispy kreme's for breakfast ).

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 07/10/06 11:37 AM

thanks for the kind words Richard, and thanks for showing us all who the pizza man is. If anyone wants to know, just look at pizza mans post history. It started out as buckeye 45, then changed to ohio joe. Now his name is john pizza and he is from mi. He is from mi, but his name isnt john. This may not be the place for this, but I didnt start it. I dont need someone with mental issues coming on a site with potential fans, customers, etc. saying that I am rude to the fans.
And sorry but I am not mr. weed, or rasheed, or whatever else you said.
I wish I had that pic we took of you and your son in my pits to hang up in my shop, cause its the fans like you that make me forget the haters.

I understand that you are Charlie's new best friend and #1 fan...but sicko? Please..set the crack pipe down, and take a step back.
Guys get into disagreements around here all of the time. Charlie has even went so far as to suggest that someone has sabotaged his engine, made the statements that he will have barriers put up to keep people out, because "he is not there to entertain fans".
I would have quoted those statements but those posts have mysteriously disappeared.
When you say stuff like that you leave yourself open to criticism.
Now you are the computer xpurt ck me out..see if I am from MI also. And if I am let me know... I need to get back to the high country and get back to work

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 07/11/06 08:29 PM

Just wanted to let people know that they should watch their cars. I took my engine apart today for its weekly freshen up, and found that someone dropped a valve spring tail down my carb. It put a few dents in the piston, but nothing more. We were hiding in our bus at stanton and left the car unattended for a while, and it must have happened then. what is funny is that I would think a normal prankster would've used a rock or something, but this person must've had one of my spring chunks that are always laying around.
On another note, my web page doesnt work any more because the guy that was taking care of it is mad since I caught him slamming us on moparts under one of his many names. Seems he was mad when I put up the keep out signs on sunday at stanton. And from now on we will have up some kind of barrier in the pit area, not cause I am "rude to my fans", but because I dont have time to fix problems that are easily prevented. It doesn't mean that my friends aren't welcome, just that I dont need anyone hanging around all day waiting for me to entertain them.

Not as if I ever got any business off the web page anyways, but anyone that wants to contact me my number is 517 531 3430, email is warfish3651@yahoo.com. I dont check my email that often though.

thanks to all my real fans (friends)

I will take the blame for the pages that are missing,I just am trying to get this thread back to normal,Its on Maire's site so if anyone wants to keep this going go to her site.I would like to post info still on all racers,But if Charlie wants to run me off I guess this will still go on.He has it posted to come here on her site,so thanks for that maybe Moparts can get some more new members. So thank you for that Charlie.Time to call this OVER WITH.

But I guess he cut and posted it again so. I am sorry that you guys have to put up with this,I am REALLY Sorry for this. I guess maybe someday it will go away,But then again maybe someone else will let the Mod"s know when you have enough of this.

Why dont you explain to everyone how you are pizza man, and why you got the sudden mood change to say we were rude to our fans. Why dont you explain how pizza man (you) used to be buckeye 45, and you worked for kendall, and you were interested in sponsoring me. I could go on. I didnt start it, but I am not going to be talked about by people for something I didnt do. If you want to end this, you need to pay us a visit and maybe we can have a real talk, until then I will continue to defend my reputation.

It seems you have messed with the wrong man. If you are truely sorry, give him a call, if you are not man enough, then go hide!

Ok Mr 6 Posts Weed, if you have problem with mrnobody you should take it to the PM's. Everyone has seen the posts, including the deleted ones, both sides have spoken. The reason this thread has over 60,000 hits on it is because people care about whats going on in NHRA Super stock, and like to see current pics and historical pictures of these cars. The TWO people that were directly affected by this seem to want to move on, why cant you.

Well the pictures and track report for the Milehigh’s will be short. I was walking in the pits (at the 1.4 mile mark ) a Super Gas car pulled smack dab in front of a altered and nearly crashed going at least 40mph. As I was shaking my head mumbling why couldn’t this be a race without the Super classes filling up the pits...It hit me. I hadn’t seen any SS cars yet...this was a race that the Super classes got in and SS stayed home.
Any body with a pile of National Dragsters could have told you..but it never dawned on me to look.

This shot was at the Mopar block party. Its not the best shot except they are pushing the car in position and the new Challenger is in the background. In the interview Buddy said that he has 2 on order

More for the HEMI Challenge?

(7-18-2006) - David Hakim, Portfolio Manager for Mopar Parts, has informed Torco’s Competitionplus.com that the extremely popular Hemi Challenge, which has become an integral part of the NHRA Mac Tools U.S. Nationals over Labor Day weekend, will be even bigger in 2007. Two more events will be added to the series, including the Pacific Sports Nationals and the Dutch Classic at Maple Grove Raceway. Competitors running those races will begin earning points towards the ’07 championship, which will climax with the running of the U.S. Nationals, just as it has in the past. In addition t the two new races there’ll be additional Hemi Challenge races as part of the Jeg’s Sports Nationals events in Columbus, Ohio and Bel Rose, Louisiana. Each race will include a $5,000 winner’s purse, while the Indy affair will remain the Big Enchilada with a ten-grand-to-win purse. The overall series champion will pocket an additional $5,000. That’s definitely good money for Super Stock racing – until you realize that a competitive Hemi Dart or Cuda can easily tip the financial scales at $250,000, but these guys aren’t racing for money, they’re competing for pride.

Is this picture from Chicago last weekend? If it is I can see why he had to get out of the gas when the car came down, look at the wheels they are pointed toward the guard rail. I heard he was 60' 1.28 or 1.26 on the rear tire last weekend. way to go Jim with the MCH power. I believe he was faster than one of Jaskson engine techs customers last weekend. Jim just needs to get alittle more aquianted with the combo and he will be knockin on the door with some of the faster guys.

GOOD LUCK JIM AND MCH!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 07/24/06 06:18 PM

The Dutch Classic at Maple Grove Raceway, Reading PA is looking like a "Don't want to miss" SS/AH event. The Hemi Shootout is in the $30,000 range with cash and contingencies. Dates are Oct. 19-22, 2006.
Michael Ogburn has posted some recent info on this event over on www.superstockhemis.com. check the Forums section.
The Dutch Classic is usually a great event to begin with, but with the added interest and $$$ for the Hemi Shootout, this year could be outstanding.
Mr. Ogburn mentions that George Case (Maple Grove) and Buckey Hess are really doing an outstanding job in promoting and organizing the event. I know I won't miss this one.

Check out Mr. Ogburn's posts and also the Maple Grove web site. Maple Grove lists the $$ awards and contingencies.

Better reserve the dates folks.

Note: after they get their burnout done, and get up to the line, it starts raining down at the top end, so they shut it down and bring out the track dryer, scraper, and brush.

Thanks guys, I got some more I'll post. We left before 2nd qualifying and final eliminations on friday because we didnt think the weather would hold out for it, it was pouring at 3:00 didnt look like it would hold up. Dad had some plans that weekend and needed to get back for some rest.

To Jim Keyes and Lewis(I cant seem to remember his first name): Didnt plan on leaving so abruptly, hopefully we can meet up again at a race sometime. Thanks for the gatorade and the great conversations and the chance to be part of the hemi family for a day .

Oh I'm sure everybody will show up at Indy running just fine!! We've struggled this summer, things not going together quite like we want. We could very well go back there and be beat up on! All we can do is show up and do our best...and have fun trying!!




Hi Julie,I see Phil is now enter at Indy in a DART.

There is a misprint in the stats in regards to Norm Scott. He is driving a '68 Barracuda. He recently purchased it from Eddie & Mike Smith.

A little off topic, but just found this on line magazine. Moparmax..never heard of them but if you look under "event/race coverage" they did a nice job of covering the Hemi challenge. Nice pictures too!

The plan, if we don't have major parts damage at Indy, is to leave our rig at Jeg's shop in Ohio after that race. Then we'll do the Dutch. If we have to bring cars home I doubt that we'll make the long tow back east a month later.

I'm hoping we get to go. I've long wanted to race at Maple Grove and spend some time seeing the countryside back there.

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 08/07/06 04:41 AM

julie, the dutch is the end of october,, so thats about two months. isnt the sportsnationals in fontana the end of september having a hemi shootout? will you guys miss that one then? or only catch one of the two?


chris sent me an email and clarified all the visnar head/manifold stuff with me. i heard he was doing your dads heads and manifolds, but then you had all the old hogan stuff on the cars in belle rose,, visnar also tells everyone he does westcotts stuff but has never sold him or sent him anything. i dont see why someone would want to get into this stuff to where they would give their time/labor away, but from what your dad tols me awhile ago, thats what visnar is doing,, if it works you guys will buy it,, if not,, here it is back.

Jeff,I could see someone doing that if they had something that needs to be tested,before they invest more money into the project.If it makes more HP and good ETs.They have a winner to sell to other racers,If not back to the drawing board.and the cost would be cheaper than buying your own car to try products on.

Also, they should have to go to a 2 or 3 elimination shoot out! The extra tanker of fuel and a but load more motor parts shouldn't add up too much

Not to be a total dick but why does every racers name that uses Modern Cylinder Heads have MCH next to it? Must you really say what heads and intake they use? Why not put their tire manufacturer too? Or maybe the guy that does their chassis?

My point is it takes more than just heads and intakes to get these muscle machines from point A to point B.

Jealousy will get you nowhere! Quit your crying. This thread is for people that do not get to the track to know what is happening in this class all the time. Your probably 1 of the best drivers in the class. So chill out and keep riding your Dads coat tails!

Look, use Pancake for example. He has a good chance of winning the Indy Shootout. But not just because he has a Barton motor. It would be retarded for us to take most of the credit. My own car hasn't gone as fast as Jim since he became a customer. And sometimes I even have more power. That's all I was saying. I'm not jelous. I'm not crying. I'm not trying to take anything away from MCH. They're great guys. I was just making a simple statement. Give credit when credit is due. And I'm sorry I don't have the time to make over 2000 posts.

If you guys get this thread locked up because of your there are going to be many P.O. people here.

I understand what both of you are saying. BOTH of you guys have done ALOT for these cars and the growth of this class but it's not just about flexing muscles. These Darts and Cudas are at the top of the food chain when it comes to NHRA Super Stock racing. Both of you have helped keep them there but neither of you, by your self got them there.

I would like to thank both of you and everybody else involved in the developing, building and racing of the SS/AH cars. You have made NHRA drag racing fun again.

Now lets play nice.

Your defintely right about Pancake, he has been putting alot of effort into making the car use every bit of power that motor makes to get him down the track! If you go back a page or two in this thread you will see that somebody ask for this list to be made. Who's using who's motors and so on. I find it very informative. Mr Nobody has been on the ball with alot of info.

My personal opinion I really do not think this class is at the top of the food chain. Look at the corvettes in SS/AA right now, flying with a single carb!

The SS/AA corvette is allowed to run replacement cylinder heads that are far away from what was originally produced for that car - whereas the replacement Hemi head is identical to the original head. corvette head vastly superior to the original head

So the intakes and head port design that the hemi's are running in SS/AH today are not far more superior than originally produced?

Brian I will TOTALLY AGREE with you - these cars are SO far from what was the original intent for SuperStock -- Most of the people today have no idea what the 60's and 70's produced for performance cars. It is a shame the way SS racing in particular and all drag racing in general has evolved.

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 08/25/06 07:57 PM

Brian --- and I totally agree that Stock and Super Stock are the only classes to watch - BUT -- the allowed rules have taken some of the fun out of it --- How many have ever gone to the cheby dealer and bought a rear wheel drive cobalt with a v8, tunnel ram and clutchless trans ??

Gone too far - and will be the eventual death of "sportsman" racing (now is that an oxymoron?)

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 08/25/06 11:14 PM

NHRA is requesting comments on a proposed 2007 rules change that would combine traditional SS & GT classes. Of note to the hemi cars, is the following:

"Also, current SS/GT frame and suspension rules would apply to all bodies; i.e. aftermarket lower control arms would be legal on a 1968 Camaro or Barracuda."

So maybe now we can get rid of these old outdated suspensions. It will definately make these cars safer.

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 08/26/06 01:06 AM

Julie, give me one example of a car that has had safety issues from the stock suspension. This type of thing is what kills the original S/S class. I would also like to mention that we have a customer that goes 230+ MPH at Bonneville with stock front end parts. I believe its around 5000 pounds too.

Thank You! This is my feeling exactly. Where does it end. How about some struts! Some of the GT cars would be a better fit in comp than Super Stock. Lets not kill the class. Lets try to keep the somewhat stock.

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 08/26/06 01:20 AM

The only thing I can think of is people have broken steering box's because they cut away most of that area for header clearance.

I could see where it could also be a possible performance advantage.(ex.not having the #2 tube to be so tight to clear the box) and maybe a little easier on maintenance. I have a Hemi A-body and they are tough to work on ..no doubt.

Despite this I prefer the stock suspensions to remain. The class is getting too far away from "stock" as it is...

I never said it wouldn't be safer. I'm just saying its not really an issue now. So why use that for an excuse to tell NHRA. That's what makes this class so cool. All of the limitations. I understand the cars already have many modifications but now would be a good time to stop with the rule changing. Except for hood scoops. Now thats a whole other subject. They really should give a ruling saying exactly what size the scoop should be. I don't care what size they were originally or who has one in their basement, just give me a measurement already. Otherwise I'll make mine 12" wide and 3" tall. Let's see if that will pass. Yeah, right.

And to answer your question. I really don't know for sure. Maybe it was a safety issue

When the front end is compressed all the down look what happens to your wheel alignment. My Hemi Dart street car used to even do it if i was going fast and stood on the brakes hard and loaded down the front end. As soon as the torsion bars pick the car up to ride height the wobble goes away. Im not a suspension expert, so i don't know if a fabricated front suspension can correct that. I just think the direction the class is taking may not be for the better. super stock used to be cool to watch with real cars doing big wheel stands with alot of factory type parts. I don't want to see it turn into a class where the cars sit two inchs off the ground, and they leave with the front tires 3 inchs off the ground like a pro stocker.

Re: SS/AH NEWS AND UPDATES 2006 - 08/26/06 04:25 AM

Well, this is a first...Bob Kobylski & I actually agree on something.

Dave, I agree it's not been a safety issue...yet. But, why take the chance? I've watched bobbling on our cars and others on more than one occasion. One of these days something is going to break.

No, the cars aren't what they were in the 60's. Neither is the power that is being produced. The times they are running now far exceed what the cars were originally built for. I say why wait for something to happen? Be proactive.

If you compare the mass and strength of the OEM front suspension parts to the front end parts used on a typical tube chassis car running much higher speeds, I don't think the strength of the parts is an issue. As long as the chassis or front end person does the modifications to the stock parts to correct the geometry and alignment settings, I believe the OE front suspension is up to the task. I also believe "evolution" of class cars is inevitable, but I think we need to prevent the class from becoming '68 Cuda and Dart Pro Stockers.

These cars were not designed in the 60's to be slammed to the ground going 8 1/2 seconds. Geometry is a big issue! As the racers push for more speed there will always be a need for change.

Should be a good final between Hess and Westcott, only a hundredth seperates them in E.T. 8.63-8.64, Hess with a liitle more MPH last round!. I can`t wait to see these guys at the Dutch Classic.

Thanks for the pics guys. CR, whose car is the black dart in pic 10? Appears to be a barton motor.
And a big congrats tothe Wescott's. There was a nice article in the National Dragster about them. I never knew why the car was camoflage and the Warfish nickname. All I can say is they have the right attitude and let their results speak for them!

In years past, runs have started on Thursday. Not sure if I remember correctly, but I think qualifiying started Thursday. Could be TnT though. I know in years past all competitors made runs on Thursday. Friday has a lot of Record runs as well.
The racing is non stop Thursday thru Sunday. I have spent all four days at the track in years past, and will do so again this year. Need to get my head loaded up to make it thru the winter.
Wear good walking shoes, since the pits encompass acres and acres. Plenty to see and many great sportsman racers to talk with.
With this years Hemi Shootout, it should be the best Dutch ever.

Hey everyone I wanted to take a moment and thank the West Coast Hemi's team. I got a chance to crew on Bob Mazzolini's car for the Hemi shootout in Fontana.

On the last qualifying run saturday morning the car did a pretty big wheelstand and came down hard. We got the car back to the pits to check the damage and the first one's over were Julie and Harry to see if there was anything they could do to help.

We were able to continue and go another round and got to face Michael in the semi, but we ended up needing some parts we didn't have. Harry and Michael gave us what we needed to make the race and face them. Man that is incredible sportsmanship. Hats off to them. Nice meeting you Julie.

That would be shame. The class is called Super STOCK, not Jr. Pro Stock. Unless there was an R & P option in '68 that no one knows about.

It's sad, there isn't much left that is stock, yet a guy can get thrown out because of the wrong butterfly screws in the carb...Sometimes I think NHRA runs on 110 octane STUPID.

Jesse, Jim Skelly told me the other day there will be no change for 2007.

There are a lot of parts on these cars that weren't on them in 1968. We believe that the rack & pinions will make them safer and our team will continue to lobby for a change.

I was at the Dutch Classic at Maple Grove today (10/21) for the Hemi Shootout.

Jim Pancake defeated Joey Wilkes in the final and David Barton in the semi's. Wilkes had a bye in the semi's. Bucky Hess went 8.51 in qualifying, Wilkes and Charlie Westcott were also in the 8.50's and 8.60's throughout the day (I think they both had 8.58's). Great day for the Hemi's...

Furthermore it only serves to take more of the stock out of superstock. These cars have a following because they are still real cars. If at the end of the day, they become full chassis jerry haas/bickel type chassis cars with barracuda sheetmetal on them, it will take away the appeal of the class.

Yea, we're real scared. We've been to Belle Rose the last 3 years, Indy each year. How many thousands of miles and dollars in expense is that to come race? There was a Mopar Hemi Challenge race in Fontana last month. We didn't see any east coast cars there...I don't think we've seen an east coast car out here in years.

You keep answering questions with questions.

I hope everyone is reading this. I am challenging you to a match race. If you don't have the ____ to except I understand. My offer stands.

Everyone also should know you have made a effort to keep my car out of the Chrysler Classic so you do not loose your stardom.

You are welcome to come to one of our events and race your car against me. I think everyone would get a kick out of it.

My cast iron gernade as you call it against your KB alum. motor.

Just going by all the hype on the net. Even the announcer at Maple Grove started out the morning saying how this was going to be a great East vs West showdown. (obvisouly that didn't happen.) Just curious what was the payout at Fontana?




The only money up for grabs at Fontana was the Mopar purse. We have put on, for 2 years now, hemi shootout races at Mission with some good sized purses and couldn't get anyone to travel west. So, it's hard to go to the sponsors and ask for more. By the way, part of the purse at Maple Grove was put up by our team. I think we were the biggest contingency sponsor.

We were scheduled to be there. Like I said, and has been reported in numerous places on the net, we had engine damage and my Dad got very sick. Just didn't work out this time. It will really hurt us come Indy entry time next year as this race was in our planned 5 grade point events. Looks like we'll end the year with 4.

I went to the Dutch to see the Shoot-Out and saw the 1st couple of rounds, Good show but didn`t see a 40 out of Bucky. It was great having Mike announcing, it just goes to show how into this deal he is, flying East just to see the show and announce. I heard him say that Mr. Holton is sick and that the West Coast team will be there next year. I hope his illness is not serious and look forward to seeing the team there next year. I saw alot of people with Mopar hats etc running for the stands when the Hemi cars were called and judging by the people looking at them in the pits I think the crowd was into it. I liked it and will come back next year.

I spent 4 days at the Dutch. The Hemi Challenge was outstanding. Got to listen to Mike Ogburn as the "color man" in the announce booth. He was really very interesting and really added alot to the Challenge. Thanks Mike. Racing was great. Even saw Bullet Bob Reed finish a time trial run in the wrong lane. Still turned a 9.10 in front of the other SS car. Really nice driving.
Wolkwitz brothers unveiled Earthquake II Barracuda. The car is absolutely perfect. They did not run the new car but Earthquake I turned some pretty good times.
I'll try to post up some of my pics, took over 200, just of the Hemis.
It was Hemi heaven, with 30+ SS/AH cars present.

Re: 68CUDA&DART PICS ,VIDEO,E.T.S OF THE SS/AH CARS. - 11/17/06 01:55 AM

I heard the engines will all have to have a Diaper attached to them from now on for any car running under 10.00. This may pose a problem for guys running rear steer with a drag link going through the oil pan. From what I understand, some manufacturers of the safety diapers wont make them for an application that has rear steer such as the type on the SS/AH cars because of a possible safety/interferance problem. Sounds to me like the rack and pinion should be used to make the cars safer to run with the diaper, let alone safer in general vs. 35 year old steering setups. Can You imagine the steering getting caught on the diaper, possibly ripping it off the engine or not allowing the car to steer off of the track. Anyone else heard about this????

Re: 68CUDA&DART PICS ,VIDEO,E.T.S OF THE SS/AH CARS. - 11/17/06 02:29 AM

The way I'm reading the rules is that the diapers aren't required for SS yet but that NHRA is going in that direction. I know of no rule changes, for 2007, that are applicable to the SS/AH class only.

Re: 68CUDA&DART PICS ,VIDEO,E.T.S OF THE SS/AH CARS. - 11/17/06 06:48 AM

I heard from a chassis guy that is local to my area that the first SS/AH car to go 8.49 that the NHRA was going to make all the cars in that category to step up to the new roll bar/cage regulations to conform to the sub 8.50 rules. There are going to be alot of mad SS/AH guys when/if this gets enforced; especially the cars that have been just recently finished.

That "rumor" is absolutely not true. I recently met with SFI Director of Safety Carl Olsen and discussed the 25.5 spec in depth and how it affected SS and particularly AH because we are building two new AH cars . He stated, after meetings with NHRA and Danny Gracia about this particular class and spec(25.5), that the SS cars will not be affected by the new spec for next year or the foreseeable future even if they dip into the magical 8.40 zone, period .

Hi Mike! I don't profess to know all these chassis rules but have a question. I had a long conversation with a high-ranking tech official last week in regards to the chassis rules. He indicated to me that the SS/AH cars would be under the same sort of rules that Jeff Taylor ran into in Comp last year. NHRA told Jeff that if he ran below a certain number he'd be parked, he did and they did. Our current chassis is 8.50 rated and he advised me to get ours upgraded. Are we talking the same chassis rules here? I'm getting quite confused.

Also, on another subject, you have any more t-shirts available? You gave me an XL at Indy for Jared but it's too big. Can I send it back to you and trade it for a large?

Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi Jesse ~ Dad is feeling much better, thanks for asking! I think he's almost back to full strength again. I've asked for clarification on the diaper rule but, personally, I don't think it's applicable to SS yet, only "E.T." cars. But I've been wrong before. lol Will keep you posted.

There is a clarification on the Lucas Oil page of NHRA.com that says the diaper rule is only for Comp eliminator in 2007.

IMO, some of you might not know, but guys move the steering box over to the driver's side to get more room for headers, and put the engine on center, etc,and end up weakening the steering box. Many cars have broken the mounts and cracked cases, and IIRC, a guy went on the roof one time due to it. So before someone gets killed, they sould let them run a rack and pinion setup. More room for power, and a LOT safer. Its not just about speed sometimes. Ask charlie or bucky or anyone else if they would like to have their cars go out of control on the top end...

Saftey, then speed.

Re: 68CUDA&DART PICS ,VIDEO,E.T.S OF THE SS/AH CARS. - 11/20/06 07:36 PM

Anyone who moves their steering box and compromises the integrity of the mounts should properly brace it. I don't think they should make R & P steering legal because in the past some people have lightened or modified original equipment improperly.

I guess I haven't run 8.50s but I'm not sure why I would need a R & P. Other than it is one more thing not stock about these cars. There is enough complaints about them turning into Comp cars as it is. It sucks taking the centerlink out to lower the oilpan but thats part of having a hemi.

I'm all about safety but NHRA should not make rules changes to combat irresponsibility

Re: 68CUDA&DART PICS ,VIDEO,E.T.S OF THE SS/AH CARS. - 11/21/06 04:43 PM

I just don't get where that rack would be safer than box. Hell they where made for a 2500# pinto. The ends are a smaller diam. than stock and the pivot point is way shorter than the control arm point causing a way off arc compared to the control arm which gives it ungodly amount of bump steer to try and correct. I have been doing front end for along time and the only probem i have found with the box is when there was modifactions made and not braced proparly. that box is on 4500# b and c bodys,vans and trucks. Unless someone wants to pm me and educate me on why that rack is safer I am up for it. thank you,oh and everone have a great turkey day......... Jake

good thing I am bored today - 12/03/06 02:30 PM

Looks like you're a little testy
The junk car excuse was used by you when you ran that motor you built that made 900 in dean minks, gary jacobs, lil joes, and seem like I am forgetting someone else, and it went 9.20 every time.
I have made DVDs of me running every customer motor in my car, and have one of me running rains dart going 8.64 152 at stanton.
your "new" manifold design looks alot like the tunnel ram I have been using since I built my car 4 years ago, I thought your inline cross ram was the answer , even though we (me and beshore) told you it was junk when you built the first one. If you could get past your male ego, and listen to me (the only customer you had that has ever won anything) you would be a little better off.

and I am not worried about building a slow car, cause I know what I am doing, as has been shown by our new car, which went a .59 @156 with my old motor in it, with less than 20 runs on it. And that is why I am building a stick car.

new plan for engine customers. - 12/21/06 04:28 PM

In the past year I feel that I have bent over backwards to please my engine customers. That consists of Fred Henson, John Rains, and Randy and Mel Warford. I ran everyones engine in my car, made dvds, and even worked on 2 customers cars to try to help. While all of my customers seem to appreciate this, some of their other suppliers have taken offense to my critique of their products, so I made this offer to the car owner of the disturbed chassis builder, and will also make the offer to anyone else.

I will prepare the total combination for any customer from carbs to rear end at our shop, I will run it in my car. When I am done I will contact the customer to bring their car to the racetrack empty. I will make as many runs as nessasary to show what it is capable of, at that time we will pull it (which takes less than an hour) and the customer can install it in their vehicle. We will reserve the track into the next day if needed since every car I have worked on seems like it takes all day to put a motor in it.

Whenever they are ready to make runs we will run until the max is achieved, and if it is within .05 of my car I will pay all expenses incured with track rental, my time invested etc.
if it is not even close, which it probably wont be, the fee will be 3000.00 payed by the customer.

It should be noted that every engine I sell comes from carbs to convertor, and I run every one of them in my car as part of the deal, but after that my obligation to fix customers equipment is an added expense.

This may be a little extreme in some peoples eyes, but I am confident in my ability to produce, and if a chassis builder thinks that my motor is the problem and not his car than he should be willing to put up or shut up.

merry christmas to all

Like you said its only my opinion, Gary has built 4 cudas, and so far we are the only one to finish one (actually 2) so far. some guy in detroit named Brian has had one for 2 years +, but hasnt got it done yet, and beshore has one that has been at the paint shop for 18 months. we had ours running in 4 weeks from when we picked it up in bare metal.

Re: new plan for engine customers. - 12/22/06 05:06 PM

seems like everyone forgot I smoked him at indy when it payed 18,000.00. And I think CFE does bartons heads, so I guess he did pancakes, I think he went a 80@ indy. Pancake is obviously bartons best guy, he won 2 races this year like I did. Whats the point anyways? I know his rockin new dart wont run within 4 tenths of our car in stick trim, and in auto trim its at least a tenth off the fastest cars. Its all about selling parts to me, and noone on this site ever buys anything other than 1500.00 edlebrock heads anyways, can have all of that business.

Hey Charlie mind me asking what brand converter you use and do you have different ones for different tracks.

It should be noted that every engine I sell comes from carbs to convertor, and I run every one of them in my car as part of the deal, but after that my obligation to fix customers equipment is an added expense.

This may be a little extreme in some peoples eyes, but I am confident in my ability to produce, and if a chassis builder thinks that my motor is the problem and not his car than he should be willing to put up or shut up.

I know many of you guys where at Englishtown in June and the Dutch Classic in October.
Did you see something I didn't see?
No doubt that Pancake's Cuda and Dart (same motor) and Bucky's Cuda are very, very stout, but the Warfish has set the standard for the class at those events and the for the past several years.

Charlie, my son and I spoke to you at both events and we think your a good guy. You have a reason to be cocky, but let the Warfish do all the talking.

I had hoped when they seperated the cars and created the SS/AH class NHRA would do something with the times they run Super Stock. Out here its like 8.00 am then you gotta wait till 5.00 pm, for me the best part of the races is watching Super Stock and Comp Eliminator. Is it the same way with the tracks back east. I wish there was a way to email NHRA and see about changing the times.

Bob Reed is building a new car huh? That is one of the nicest paint sceme I have seen yet. Clean and simple. Hope he does well in the class. Glad they combined the stick cars with the auto's also. IMO in time, the stick cars will start walking away with the ET records. Clutch, and trans gearing will be a HUGE factor in that.

The Kesslers are from the Dayton Ohio area and that car was one of my all time favorite SS/A cars. Does anyone know who has it now and where it's located? Just curious as the last time I asked them about it they had lost track of it. Glad to see it's still around.

Could be, I was thinking I remembered hearing it went to Ky. The car's interior was distictive in that it had a diamond tufted padded dash and door panels but I don't really remember the seat pattern. I do remember it had really nice exterior paint. I haven't asked the Kesslers about the car in years and the last time I did they had lost track of it. When I see them this year I'll ask them again if they have any updates.

Larry came over friday to pick up his convertor. I sold him a motor for that car. He asked me if we would help him set it up when it is done in a few weeks, so it must be close.

Charlie, are those T&Ds Or Jesel Rockers? We Have the T&Ds ( about four years old ) and I'm wondering how you guys check your spring pressures on the motor. Can it be done on the motor? My friends have tools like the Buxton, but I don't think they have one for the Hemi. Do you modify them to fit or have another trick? Sorry to hijack, I just thought this would be the best place to try.

logan smith sent me a tool to check pressure with jesel rockers. It was a little complicated. There is so much rocker offset it is hard to do. I just run them 18 runs, and pitch em'.

By the way WARHEADS have arrived. I am planning on running them this weekend. I also have a billet intake manifold that I made that I will be testing. I will put a pic on of the whole package later.

CW is that one of your motors in Hensons car? I see he went 8.62 at a points meet. I think thats the fastest he`s gone.

Re: New SS/AH car under construction! - 03/03/07 04:23 AM

yes, I just sent that to him on friday. It is the one that he broke at indy. I am very proud of him, and rains. Rains made a so so run today, but I think he has somthing up his sleeve for tomorrow. I am finishing up my motor now with my new top end package. I am looking forward to running that on sunday.
BTW, wheres 'lil joe. Is caro running their motor? He ran good also.

henson just went 8.55. one away from the record. He has one more shot at it. I am sure jeff the master of all can tell how fast one of his bullets could have went. I guess caro went a 70 something today, as did hopkins. Rains moved up with a .70 in phoenix also.

just an update, looks like my team is finally coming together.

Congratulations to Fred! That's a heck of a run. I almost fell off my computer chair when I pulled up the qualifying sheet on DRC.

Your stuff is running very well right now Charlie. Congratulations are in order to you as well.

What was the speed if you don't mind my asking? 154? 155?
Posted By: warfish

Re: New SS/AH car under construction! - 03/03/07 08:01 PM

152. something.

Re: New SS/AH car under construction! - 03/03/07 08:46 PM

congrats to the good run by fred,, looks like his car is running like the power you supply him charlie,, finally. fred is one of the nicest guys out there,, im glad to see him runing good.

lil joe had his car re-back halved to try to get the car to 60ft,, he wanted to make runs in it with a spare motor to get the car sorted out before putting their better motor in it. they have 5-8 year old barton stuff in it.

jerry has his back up motor in it,, though its not a bad motor,, he is still working on getting his "good" together.

hopkins is racing jim hale's car,, with hale's motor in it.


the master??? jeff

an idea for a new race - 03/03/07 08:58 PM

I have an idea, How about we have a race and we call it "THE GOOD MOTOR NATIONALS!" You have to sign a paper before you run that you have your "GOOD" piece in, and after you get smoked you will have no excuses. I will be there, I only have 2 motors, and the "good" one is always in the car, the "bad" one is at home. My "bad" one is in my dads car for now until I get a new one done.

later
"be there, at the Good motor nationals"

henson set the record 8.54 1100' air
Posted By: moderncylinder

Re: New SS/AH car under construction! - 03/04/07 12:32 AM

i may be wrong but i think the division 4 guys wont let a previous run be the back up,, therefore henson didnt get the record. though a great run by fred,, that should put him in the top couple cars in the country. i may be wrong again,,,,, but i think a dart runs less total speed than a cuda by atleast 1mph,, maybe 1.5. i think he went 153.3 on the .54 run,, you could correct me on that charlie.

as per the "good" motor deal,,, next time i talk to jerry, little joe,, and all others il let them know that they arent racing up to your expectations and that they need to spend more time on their racing programs to be more prepared to race your customers and you. they need to spend less time on their businesses, family, and other hobbies..

Re: New SS/AH car under construction! - 03/04/07 01:00 AM

you tell them guys whatever makes you sleep at night, but you be sure to tell them and everyone else that I build as good an engine for my customers as I do for myself which contradicts what you told me. If they want to use the other hobbies excuse, thats been used before. It doesnt make them any faster, or my customers any slower.
and they didnt give it to him because of the set it first rule. Thats fine, everyone knows how fast he is.
BTW, hows the ss hemi engine/head business doing?

Re: New SS/AH car under construction! - 03/04/07 01:18 AM

its hard to get good hemi castings,, i have 4 guys waiting for heads,, i have a new engine customer as well,, though im going to say names,, there might be another or two interested in engines also.

so now all of a sudden henson is fast so he is ready to combat everyone else? what about you arguing that freds car, rains car, warfords car, smiths car,, were all junk and that the car was absorbing all the power you were supplying to them? thats the problem i have with you,, your customers had crap cars so they didnt run up to par,, but someone else just has no power,, nothing wrong with their cars. that rule only applied to you.

sleeping at night??? me,, i sleep great,, how much sleep are you loosing knowing that i ported the heads on all your customers engines,, and yours??

im done with this charlie,, its hard to argue anything on the internet,, especially if im arguing with a child.

how does it feel that your heads are faster when I fix them then you can make them? I bought 8 sets of casting down the street from your shop at mancinis, whats so hard about that? I have a couple sets of your heads here for sale. I also have the top end off my motor for sale, maybe you should buy it and step into the 21st century.

No the cage won't be a problem, some of the ss modified cars are already in the 8 teens and they haven't mandated any changes for them either. Congrats to Fred and Charlie on a great weekend. Mike

As far as I know, we are going. I've been so buried at work I'm not real up on what's going on. Dad had minor surgery so things are behind at the shop. The only thing different, I believe, is that Mopar made the race part of their Hemi Challenge Series and has some $$$ up for the winner.

Re: New SS/AH car under construction! - 03/08/07 03:53 AM

Thanks Julie,
Sorry to hear about your dads surgery...hopefully they made things better not worse
I have seen both ways
