    John;

    Thanks for posting the thread. It brings to mind a question I've had for some time: Is the C-4 body, when treated to all the best wind tunnel mods, a better high speed platform than say the C-5 or C-6 given the same traetment??

      How about Callaway's 1988 Sledgehammer 254.76MPH Stock Body, Street Legal driven from CT to Ohio and back.

            Thanks! Two motors for various classes. Reher-Morrison injected 572 ci BBC and 479ci. Bobby believes that making new changes allowed by new rule book will add 6-8 mph to all records. Should I post picture of you sitting on guard rail at starting line at first NHRA World Finals in 1965 in Tulsa?

              I don't believe that my picture at the 1965 World Finals classifies as NCRS Typical options for that year. Likely loose all of my originally points. Whats the next event for one of your cars?

                John, Thanks for posting the Photo of Bobby Moore's Corvette. It is surreal watching a C4 running well over 200 MPH on the salt. There are several other C4 Corvettes also running over 200 MPH at Bonneville.

                  A few years back Al Phillips from Shell Beach was building one. Not sure where he finished. His wife Gail has been a member of the 200mph club for a long time. She also set records in Australia.

                      I don't think that I saw her this year at Speedweek. I'm SURE that I would have remembered.

                        She would add quite a bit of interest to your pit crew pictures.

                          Next event is the Jimmy Nix and Bennie Osborn AA/TF Dragsters at NHRA Holley Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green in June. Bennie will be brought into the NHRA Hall of Fame. Dale, if you show pictures of your 1957 Chev modifications, some in the Cincinnati NCRS might put you on probation, others will put you up for hero!

                          Here's the 1965 NHRA Finals picture of you sitting on guard rail while I am driving the 1962 Black 409.

                            Do you really think that she would want to be part of this crew?

                              I believe she would enjoy the group. How ever you all might not let her pose on your car. SOS
