With a blown hemi, it would come close to Ted's Stude powered Chicken Hawks times in the quarter. <g> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AWESOME-OUTLAW-10-5-1954-STUDEBAKER_W0QQcmdZViewI temQQcategoryZ98062QQitemZ4615444679QQrdZ1  SignatureJP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 R2 4 speed Challenger (Plain Wrapper) 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 63 Daytona convert. 62 Lark 2 door 60 Hawk 53 coupe rod. Right, John....Since it is being sold withOUT an engine in it, Ted could pop The Chicken Hawk's Twin-Turbo Stude 299 in there and finally get this car under 10 seconds! Seems likes the present owner has only been getting as low as 10.50 with a legendary, mega-inch Hemi. Better that it gets into the NINES with a 299-Studebaker V-8, as has 3,600-pound Big Bird (a/k/a The Chicken Hawk.) Kinda takes you back to the free-spirited 60s and 70s and the old flower-power lyrics, "...when will they ever learn?" Geeze, what WAS the name of that song...Where Have All The Flowers Gone? Was that it? What group? BP Pete Seeger 1961, sung by the Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul and Mary too. > Kinda takes you back to the free-spirited 60s and 70s and the old > flower-power lyrics, "...when will they ever learn?"

Well, I say let's leave the motor out and just pop TED in there, Flintstones style...should still beat 10, anyway. And with Ted in it, it might be worth the BIN. [Notice the folks standing behind the test launch wearing short pants? Jeez, I take goggles to a sprint car race and wear nomex pants at Indianapolis (admittedly, I have Really good seats at Indianapolis). Them drag race fans are Tough, boy.] Kum-ba-yah: who did that song again? Hey tough guy....<seg> We used to sit on the 55 gallon drum of oil dry in front of the timing tower behind the starting line when the jet cars used to run <lol>.. Stood behind a Bronco once with the tailgate open... right behind the starting line off to the right at Union Grove in Wisconsin.. When Doug Rose (Green Mamba double amputee owner/driver) his the afterburner it singed the hair on my shins <g>... Oh, and watching 'Captain Jack' McClure run his rocket go kart... That was way cool! Wacky racing at it's finest! Jeff (Watched Paula Murphy make a pass in the STP rocket car once...)

I think you misread the label, John. That 10.5 isn't his time, I think it's the "class" he runs in, based on the max size of the rear tire allowed. I didn't pay REAL close attention to the ad but I didn't see any mention of a hemi engine...in fact, he's selling it without the engine/trans. And he STILL wants $27K for it???? Geez, Aunt Louise!! > With a blown hemi, it would come close to Ted's Stude powered > Chicken Hawks times in the quarter. <g> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > 60 Hawk > 53 coupe rod. You might be correct, 167 MPh in the 1/8 mile in under 5 seconds could make it a 8-9 second car 1/4 mile car. > I think you misread the label, John.

BigBob....you are correct. That's a low 8 sec. car with the stops out. He just runs in in the 10.90 class, that way he's not beating it up every run. Watching the score board.......it looks funny to see 9.90 or 10.90 e.t. with a 160 or 170mph next to it! Mike |
