Too Many Chevy 4-Speed's
They were very tough in Stock Class, especially the 4-Speeds.
Mopar was very competitive in {B/Stock} with the 1970 Barracuda '426 Hemi' and Dodge Challenger '426 Hemi'.
The 1969 1/2 Road Runner '440 Six-Barrel' and Super Bee '440 Six-Pack'
cars were strong competitors in {E/Stock}.
In {F/Stock}, the 440 GTX and R/T cars were productive.
The 340 A-Body cars were strong competitors in {G/Stock}
The 1970 Challenger T/A '340 Six-Pack' cars were just starting to make
a move in {G/Stock}.
The 383 4-Speed - B-Body cars 'lagged' in {G, H and I} Stock.

Hope I am not out of date on this reply, just found the thread.
The list of car model /engine to go along with the et/mph records is very helpful. I am trying to Gonkulate all these combos but without the car model and engine/horsepower, not much can be done with the list.
However, I could not get all the combos to make sense.
Here are some guesses I made at edits: See if they make sense!
A/S 66 Corvette: My guess is a 427/425 for 66. IIRC the 396/425 was 1965 only?
H/S=10.50 68 Chev: I think this was an L48 Nova, 3106/295=10.53
Next is the massive assault on J, K, L by Chevy and the few-months-only LM1, which by then had been factored to 270hp. To get my Gonkulator to match those LM1 et/mph, I have to use every trick I know and a few more – I always need good air and a tailwind to make them match. The LM1 itself was underrated, not as much as the 340 Mopar but still underrated, and the prep on these LM1 engines/cars was excellent.
J/S=11.50 as noted, Nova LM1 350/255, 3188/270=11.81
K/S=12.00 I can’t make this work as a Camaro since 3126/270=11.58.Unless I use the original so 3126/255=12.26, but by late 1970 the factored hp was already 270. The Chevelle 300 2dr fits at 3266/270hp=12.10. Comments welcome!?
L/S=12.50 as noted, Camaro Convertible 3375/270=12.50 right on the class break.
M/S=13.00 Nova SS fits this break at 2868/220=13.04. I was once offered a rust-free 283/220 4spd Nova SS for $2000 and said I didn’t have room. I should have made room.
N/S=14.00 I am guessing a Chev 210 2dr here for 3157/225=14.03
O/S=15.00 I cant get the Handyman Special to work since 3280/225=14.58 so my guess for a wagon is a Beauville 9pass at 3495/225=15.53, closest car I could find.
I also have Stock Automatic results from 1970 Indy, but similar issue – having to guess the model, CID, horsepower. Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes not.
Very interested in 1971 also since it was the last year of the high-compression engines, 426 hemi, 440 6-pack, Ford 429scj, etc. And in 1972 the class rules got weird anyway. But I cant find this same results sheet from 1971 – let alone guess the engines.
Hey, this is good American history!

Hi Deuce, pretty cool you found this thread. The member Paul/69 Cuda 440 passed away recently but Im sure someone will chime in here.
