Looks like Jim Daniels set the MPH record for SS/AH 160.08 mph. Also Brian Oakes in SS/DA went a 9.12 for the record. John Armstrong power.

There are videos on classracer.com.

Thanks for the tip on that site - I've never checked it out before.

Your Canadian buddy JA has those BB's worked out. I would love to see his corvette as lite as the Hemi cars. Maybe not an 8.20's run but I bet somewhere in the 8.50's in SS/AA.

I was at New England Dragway for the IHRA event in Sept, they had great air on Friday qualifying, around 200 feet above sea level, if I remember correctly.
Armstrong was running SS/BA and ran an 8.827, and then an 8.826 in not as good air on Saturday. He was also wrenching on Wendell Howes SS/AA car for the weekend, and it was running the best I've ever seen it. (8.56 in the 2nd rd of qualifying)
