She's Still Fine!
By Aubrey Burneau
Just a few pictures for you guys!
My 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air sport coupe, 409 HP 409 4-speed. The ONLY qualified Stock Eliminator (no, not nostalgia class!) 409 car in NHRA / IHRA.
This is the first one of these to be registered in over 25 years. It’s also the first 409 Stocker to run under the class Index... and the fastest Stock 409 of all time!
The chassis is still not sorted out, so there's a catastrophic traction issue... Still, at 5000+ foot barometer, 90 degrees, it ran a SPINNING .14 seconds under the 2600 foot altitude-adjusted index of 12.14 seconds.

Then the traction gets sorted out, the car should be good for about 7 tenths under.
Division 6 #6409
