Re: [StockSSDragRacing] 1971 AHRA Summer Nats Video

 

Tony Pizzi gave me a fixture that he made up to grind the syncro sliders. We both had Craftsman  high speed grinders so I just had to attach mine and go to work. I did quite a few in the early 1970's and was happy as hell when Borg Warner started making the sliders already machined.

Good Grief was an orange similar year Corvette owned/driven by Bob Williams from Cleveland....didn't have PC engines though...was never that fast/competitive...he did run F/G at a points meet or 2, may have gone to INDY one year, mid-70's....
 
BJ just revved it up a bit and dumped the clutch as he drove it out of the chute...it definitely left ALOT harder on a "real" pass...
he had a 2:78 1st gear Ford Toploader in the vette if I remember right...likely why it did a wheelstand with the low rpm, dump the clutch launch seen in the video....Rolf & Kaase made  slick-shift gears (ala Doug Nash) and built/sold quite a few to the local Ford/Muncie 4 speed racers back then...
