      OH BABY! And R1s R fairly easy to come up with! Of course, it takes a high-output guy behind the wheel to make it all come together.

      BRAVO SUPER-POE!!!

      No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.

            Well done! Those videos always make me all warm and fuzzy inside.[^]

            Thanks to Richard and the many dedicated Studebaker racers at PSMCD, guys at stoplights are doing double-takes.[8)]

                  That is one slow six pack though. My 68 Charger 440 with a single 4 barrel ran in the high 13's on street tires when new.

                    WOW, Thanks guys. We love running the Lark.
                    JDP, the six pack qualified with a 14.0+ and I qualified 14.1+. The track conditions were not as good for shootout as it was for qualifying. You can hear tire spin off the line. This slowed us all down. He is a great guy and he had one of two Road Runners equipped the same that were at the race and the other one was a little faster.
                    Thanks, Richard

                        In the second race the 440 passes the studebaker ,and leads clearly. You can't go by the times. Wake-up and smell the horizon.

                        Had a 50 packard once.
