Dave, there was a freshly restored Nova SS L-79 this year, Marina Blue wheel hopping all over the place but trapping at 109 mph.... Paul, if you need inner fender wells and the front suspension for the Nova, I have it
Fender well headers? Dump tubes? Now that's really stretching it..What's next? Actually, I always thought it would be neat to let people run otherwise "illegal" cars on T n T day during lull periods in the track....or after the shootouts... A little informal grudge race...say between a coupla replicas of old time race cars like:
109mph!! Sounds like a FAST car in PSMCDR clothing. Those are great little cars but in the day they were no match for a 340 Dart or 350SS Nova. Any magazine data for those rides.
Dave, we have 2 L79 Novas hitting that mph...... and if memory serves me right, Hemi's used to fall victim to that combo all summer long :moonu:
Dave, re-read your history book...the '66-7 L79 Novas were in A/stock along with the Hemis back in the day (when the class was a LOT tighter), and used to put it to the Hemis and 427 Fords. Matter of fact, I believe it was at the Nationals that Grumpy beat Stahl's Hemi in the finals. A hot little small block, in a car that is very light...they've factored them out of any competitive chance now, though.
Killer package, for sure.. I didn`t realize.o No: Sounds like somebody should build one for FAST.:Brow:

Hey, it's Gateway! Ironic timing, as they're advertising this weekend as the last weekend of drag racing at the facility...we lost Memphis last year, Gateway this year.
I used to eat 340 Dart and SS350's alive with my Ramrod...also 383 roadrunners and Super Bees...Not too many Fords in Lansing...... ....but had my ass handed to me on a platter more than once by one of those 66-67 Nova SS cars. They screamed!
MMMMmmmmm YYYyyyeeenko Duece.... I Can honestly say I rubbed my private parts on it when no one was around !!!!:Brow: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
You have to admit - it did run better when it left my house!!!:grin: Where is you folks minds.. Shhesh - I was just leaned over the fender putting plugs in it. o No: o No:
