Notes: The Corvair was introduced mid-season. Steel shell (photos show open windshield wiper holes and cowl vents, aluminum over taillight area) with one-piece lift-off glass front end. Square-tube frame, coil-sprung straight tube axle. 2,160 pounds. 427, Hilborn injectors, stock bottom end. Late-model Pontiac rear, 3.90:1 gears. "We Love Our Corvair" script across the "grill," a jab at Corvair-hater Ralph Nader. Quoted times from initial runs, per SS&DI 1/67 feature. | Also 9.00 at Kinston (10/21/66 Drag News) and 153.84 MPH at Monrovia (10/01/66 Drag Times). | Injected fuel, 115" Howell chassis. Del ran the car the rest of 1966 into 1967. When Heinelt left Seaton in 1967, Jay Howell drove this, eventually adding a blower to it. The car was sold later in 1967 to Chip & Howdy Bartlett, who ran the car through 1968. An Irwindale ad late in 1966 says the car ran 8.80/160, though they tended to round off numbers for the ads. Del was at Cecil County on Sept. 3 for a beat of three match race against Roger Lindamood's "Color Me Gone" Charger. The Dodge broke, so Tom Prock filled in with his fuel-burning Willys. In the first race, the Corvair's 9.86/144.69 lost to the Willys' 9.73/141. But Heinelt came back to win the next two races and the match with times of 9.47/148.76 and 9.58/147.54. The next day he was at Aquasco for a match against Cecil Yother in the "Melrose Missile." This was not a good day for the Chevy fans as he lost two straight. An 11.03/144 lost to Cecil's 9.67/151 in the first race, and he fouled in the second, running 10.13/148.76 in a loss to Yother's 9.76/142. Lindamood got a rematch on Sept. 16 at 75/80, and he beat the Chevy two straight. |
