There is no reason you couldn't run those numbers Clive and I doubt strokers with stock manifolds would run much faster either.

The Nats is a RWYB event.

NOT AN ORGANIZED RACE AS SUCH clarify that statement that's what i had in mind not some great big drag race meet as some people on here would have you believe.The replies from certain people would imply i was plotting some kind of take over of the whole proceedings[/quote]
this is exactley pete;s point organise a bit off bracket racing between our or yourselves then its not classed as a full on race event,
trouble with it i see pete is tryin to make sure the cars get paired up together, and if its bracket racin wether the pod staff will run a bracket tree for such a little bit off fun,
good look to you if you decide to try to put it together

I don't think Pete wants to go as far as "real" bracket racing (way too complicated for the Sanat Poo crew @ the Nats), I think he's more after pairing cars of a similar ET, eg me and AndyRob (11.72 and 11.6). This would look more exciting than, say, an 8 second Strret Eliminator car against a standard Dodge Ram. I know for a fact I find a close race more exciting when I'm in the car even if I lose, as my 60ft is great but the other guy overhauls me by the stripe, cool runnings!

If it was 13,s its not an unattainable target for the right car, surely?
Miles, Stock Appearing was won by my mate, Mick Elsworth in his 68 Coronet with a 13.60...

The Green Charger is Glinn Biggs, think he ran 13.62..

My best was 13.86..

There is NO Stock Class at the Nats, Just Stock Appearing

Mr Biggs is NOT stock , check out his glove box , also the heads.

The fastest stock appearing car at this years Nats ran 12.5 ish.

Unfortunately, it isn't allowed to run in the Stock Appearing class because (a) it is too fast, , (b) it is too young and (c) it isn't a MoPar.

I don't get it , the best times a factory stock 440 ran were low 14s (if they were lucky) , so whats the point , if a stock 440 runs in the 13s, IT AINT STOCK.

Talkin B bodies.

what was it then sandy,
and just for the record i think other makes off cars should be allowed in our classes, so long as they are legal to do so

It was black and it had a V6.

In the US they have a cutoff of 1974 for their stock appearing cars, because they know that, fully falling within the rules, the newer cars would blow the doors off the older ones.
