The opponent was a 69 Firebird 400 with RA II or III engine, forget which and a 4 speed. Both of us ran quicker in the morning during time trials. First round I cut a .491 light and redlighted giving him the win. He ran a 14.07 at 97.98, I ran a 14.04 at 100.81.

Round two I cut a .782 light while he slept and cut a .977. I pulled away from him and ran a 13.900 at 101.29.

In the staging lanes before the final round the Pontiac sounded funny and he had to empty the puke tank because it was overflowing. His car fell on its face before the 60 foot mark, I ran a 13.866 for the win at 101.37.

My car is completely stock except better valve springs (Erson). It is a .030 over 428 CJ, stock heads with stainless valves from Grady Lowe, bronze guides and stellite seats. No porting. Stock exhaust and stock iron intake manifold. Stock distributor recurved by me to advance all the way by 2000 RPM. Vacuum advance limited to give 34 total when set at 12 initial. Rear axle is the original 31 spline 3.50 Traction - Loc. Wheels are the original styled steel 6" wide with Goodyear Eagle radials P215 70R 14.

The car weighed in at 3920 with me in the driver's seat and a full gas tank.

Way fun, I am looking forward to the Michigan event in September.
