IIRC, it was capable of dipping into the high 10s under good conditions, but that was back when SS cars were still supposed to be running unported heads, too. How fast is Cotten's ride these days?

I think the best he's let it run during competition is 10.13. The Hogans sheet metal intake looks bad to the bone on the 383.

Last time I talked to him he said he was going to actually plant a flower in it and set it in his back yard......said he'd had a Victor intake cutup and modified to fit his heads and it ran a LOT better........ but for all I know he may have had another one built..... If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

Yeah, he said that Hogan intake was "a $2,500 garden planter"..... If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

He has won round one in Phoenix on a heads up run with another J automatic car so he is off to a good start. Mike and Paula are one of the most well liked couples in drag racing. 7078158-Pomona2012.jpg (59 downloads) Last edited by 340Cuda; 02/18/12 05:43 PM.
