      So, I REALLY want a '65 Vert someday, but let's face it... I'm SPOILED ROTTEN! Thanks Les, you're such a great husband. How'd I get so lucky?

                            I've been meaning to go there for years and I'd have to go out of my way to make it up there. So if I'm gonna make the effort, then I want to get the full 1320 out of it.

                              IF the NHRA ever goes back to 1320ft for the nitro cars it might be with a new spec engine. It will be a smaller cubic inch, (413 cubic inch possibly) it will have a much smaller fuel pump, smaller blower and one less magneto. T/F dragsters will run in the high 4's at 300......and that will be a struggle!

                              Don't believe me? Tim Wilkerson has already been testing this combination for the NHRA on his Funny Car this summer. (during closed test sessions)

                              If you want to wait for the 1320 to return before witnessing your first Pro drag race, that's great! However, the big engines just might be a thing of the past by then!
