Wully Bully racing team had its last outing of the year today, at Cecil County Dragway, in Rising Sun, MD. It is a good track, basically at sea level. The air was cool, the skies cloudy. I ran new all time best E.T. and MPH numbers, with decent 60' times, Carl also had a new best E.T. Carl ran a 10.08 at 127, which is off by about 7 mph. The reason for the loss of speed was a failure of apparently the number 8 connecting rod, which caused severe damage to the head. 
We are unsure of the extent of damage, but are in need of a good 690 or 583 head, if anybody has one they can spare. The rest of the story on the sedan, a 1.461 60', a best E.T. of 10.324, and best speed of 130.04, also ran 10.325, and 10.350 during the course of the day. 
For those who don't remember, the sedan is a stock bodied 1962 Bel-Air, with factory frame and suspension. We are running 690 heads, factory intake, two Edelbrocks, through a stick to the Dana rear, with 4.88 gears. I launch at 4800, shift at 6800, hit the traps at 6900-7000. The car weighs 3731 with me in it, and runs on 30x10.5 Good Years.

P.S., Allen George, Ray Lehberger, and Denny Ford were also there, all running some quick times.

. doesn't it always seem that they run hardest, just before they let go :?
