  • High winding stick shift drag racing, nothing beats it! The 14th Annual Clemmons Concrete Stick Shift Nationals at Farmington Dragway, NC did not disappoint. It gives me an opportunity to step outside my class racing world but still see a handful of class cars competing at a really cool $10,000 to win event. Gerry Waddell's Modified Super Stock SS/FM Nova caught my eye, and ears, and I wanted to get a closer look.

    High RPMs and dry hops, just like the old modified eliminator days, what more could you ask for!

    He even built that 277ci. that was the most popular size engine in the late 70's to late 80's for modified eliminator / production. I love to see this.

    I love these small-cube Chevy SB engines. Back in the 70's & early 80's at the Baileyton Good Time Drag strip ( 1/8th mile ) in north Alabama, there was this cat who had a black late 50's Vette running a 301 cu. in. screamer. I watched him run for at least 6 yrs, and absolutely nothing could touch him. I remember one night during semi-finals, he missed a gear and STILL drove around the other car to win. On that rough track ( it was fairly rough back then ), he played hell keeping it in the groove all the way down. Unless he broke something, he always won the event in his class. That little engine in that old Vette was a monster.

      @@douglascooper1987 Like the name implies, we used to have a lot of good times there. But I haven't been back there since 1984 I think, when I moved back to east/central Florida.

    What stroke is it , if you dont mind me asking , i have some very nice SB2.2 drag race heads for the near future .

    • @helpful5539
      @helpful5539 Před měsícem +2

      277 using a 4.03 bore would be about 2.7 so that is probably what he is running. A little less if it is 4.06 bore. Nice stroke if you want to run those kind of rpms.
