Spring Nationals June 3, 1965 Bristol from the grandstands

At 2:22 I think Grumpy is driving the Black Arrow. Can't tell who he is racing?

Spring Nationals June 3, 1965 Bristol from the grandstandsAt 2:22 I think Grumpy is driving the Black Arrow. Can't tell who he is racing?

Bill 'Grumpy' Jenkins and Doc Burgess were running the 'Black Arrow' in A/MP at the 1965 NHRA Springnationals.

They defeated Charlie Allen in the Class Championship.

Thank you Paul

I was just looking at this image of the Black Arrow at Pomona.

It would have been hard to pick out Koffel from the big block guys? I heard both Koffel and Hoefer in the Winternationals videos. Koffel also had a big block car (with a hardtop?) during 65?

Found the Spring Nationals from 68 at Indy.

68 Part 3 - Mostly big block- In 1968 Koffel had joined Chrysler Race Group.

"He joined the Chrysler Race Group in 1968 as manager of Sox & Martin, Ed Miller, John Hagen and Bob Glidden race programs. " East Coast Drag Times

T-N-T,

The C/FX Class was designed for #3500 lb. 'plus' full-sized cars with highly-modifiedsmall block engines.
Most ran with Dual-Carb In-line Intake Manifolds, but several guys were running with Weber Carbs.

1966 Bill Hoefer

"After that, he got a Chrysler A/S Hemi Coronet in 1966, the same year Bill Jenkins had his Chevy II," Willie said. "Ted Spehar put that car together for him and called him and told him he would need to get a trailer to come get it. Up to that time, we had flat-towed everywhere, so he got one. Unfortunately, he only ran it for a year, and that car was stolen, and then we moved to Eastern Oregon and had a cattle ranch, so that was the end of his racing. I raced for about a decade, 1973–1984, and won the Mile-High Nationals in 1984 in Super Stock. I have no idea where the C/FX car went, maybe back to Ford."

For 1966 Bud Faubel took his 64 car, threw some 65 fenders on, and added twin turbos to the Hemi. Smoked the tires for the entire pass. I can't read the words above the Spehar on the back fender.

So in 1966 Bud Fauber was offered one of the 273 D-Darts and declined. But he did end up with a slightly reworked 1966 Dart that season. Nice.
