I must say this thread is entertaining, and kind of fun to watch. You can just feel the love and the warm fuzzies that emulate from everyone. It warms the cockles of your heart.

Seriously, there are so many good cars and sharp guys out there that it might be fun to see a big time "grudge" match at one of the NSS races, especially at BSD. It is obvious that Chris and the 422 guys still harbor warm feelings toward each other.....maybe the place to settle it is on the track. Throw Poppa J and the rest in there, too. I have alot of respect for all of you, it would be fun to watch.

Meanwhile, I'll still run my high tens, and let all of you try to run me down.
Best to all.

I'll keep shooting for that 11.0000000000000 myself!! Catch me if you can!

I love all the old cars no matter what brand.I can honestly say that if I wasn't so intrenched in mopars I would be racing a 427 Fairlane Jody your car is the cats azz of Fords

Thanks Bob!! That means a great deal coming from you!! I feel exactly the same way. Thats why I'm a "Ford Guy" posting on a Mopar site. If I had Bill Gates money I'd have several of them all. My heros include Strickler, Sox, and Faubel along with Bonner, Ritchey and Brannan. The era from '60-'68 was the best for SS/AFX cars in my book.

I have to second Bob's opinion, Jody.

Although I am a HARD CORE MoPar guy, I have always had a liking for those 66-67 Fairlanes. I wish there were more of them around.

Yours is exceptionally good looking, and runs very well to boot.

See you guys at MD.

Thanks Steve!! Can't wait for Dirty Dixon!!! I talked to Dink the other day. He said the entry fee has gone down and the payout went up!!! Thats a good thing....

Thanks again guys. Here is a shot of my dad and I at Maple Grove last fall. Dad's car is a '67 Comet 202 and has been 9.65. Dad is 67 years old and builds the best FE around in my opinion. He has building them since '61 when he ran SS with a Starliner.

Hats off to your Dad also Reminds me of the days when my son Curt and I raced together.It don't get any better than that.Now it's my grandson Curt Jr.to keep up with ol granpap

I think we all agree that this is a fun class to race in...I my eyes it is just hard to find the fine line of what to far is. I see some of these cars with suspension that has not been touched in 20-30 years with 500+ cu.in. motors...in my opinion is dangerous. It is an index race anyway, why pick so much...If it looks like a duck it must be a duck???

---

Exactly right, its an index class. I know personally my car probably has some et left in it. Its the same rear gear that i had with the small motor, the converter probably needs to be loosened up a little, but in a class that is just dial in, why spend thousands chasing a couple tenths. Its really a waste of time and money. Lets get SSR a burger king crown for the fastest blue wedge motored car on the east coast,and let this thread die. This reminds me of reading on of eddie millers fastest street car posts

thanks so lets go talk about some more whats it gonna run or i broke my 8-3/4 again.
whats your problem? this is a fantastic post which i dont think has ever been posted before, and nobodys talking about bracket racing.we are talking about mph and ET.
some of you guys just dont get it!
do you realize how hard it is to get these heavy cars to get into the low 9's and high 8's.
its a feat and a challenge and yes maybe bragging rights but who on here doesnt always want to go faster. i think pretty much everyone.
its easy to go 11.00's and 12.00's and be consistent but try it with a low 9 second car on a 10.5 tire.

I have been within .08 of your best pass on a 10.5 tire, through the mufflers, on my first hit with this combo. I even have the all powerful youtube vid to back it up as evidence, so i know how hard it is to do. what i don't like about this post is the picking apart of the NSS cars that have been faster, and demanding evidence. I have seen most of the cars mentioned above run, and they do run the number. I think we both have quick cars, but fastest NSS car in the country, im thinkin not.
