Congratulations, Billy-

[wmsonta]

There was an awards banquet last nite for US 36. Billy Teeter is the 2018 Points Champion for Sportsman class.In the 8 points races, he finished 185 pts ahead of 2nd place. 25 pts to show up and complete 1 competition pass. 10 pts for each elimination rd.

The last points race of '18, a friend asked to film the car. Billy agreed.
In the 5th rd, Billy got pre-staged and staged thru the slots in his front rims. I caught it. It will not happen again. Instead of 14+ inches of rollout, he probably had 5.

My uncle had a white Falcon but not as fast!
What does the car run?

It is now. I will tell him what you said.
His dad parked his gutted, primered street/strip falcon in 1979. His son, Billy drug it out of the weeds 6 yrs ago. He fired that mother up and went drag racing. Called it the 'Chicken Hawk'. It was a +.030 289, 850 dp, 4 spd, leaf sprg car. I was asked to help to get it to idle below 2200. It had a somewhat large bumpstick in it.

Thanx, I will tell him.The camera guy was some kind of semi-professional (?).

If anyone thinks bracket racing is easy, I suggest they go out and try it. And Sportsman Class is one of the most competitive. Once again...congra ts!

In 1500 ft air, 1.39/6.53 within +.01 sec. In 3000ft air, 1.42/6.70 varies about +.03. Not bad for a long life Bracket car on 9" rubber.

And even tougher to stay on a dial with a stick.

Not congrats to me, but i will tell him. He is quite the Billy. Not many can say that Don Gartlitts walked his wife to be down the isle.

It is a 347, C4, for I think 4 yrs now. You are certainly correct though.

The inherited 289 went 7.75 eighth and 11.77 quarter. Pump gas street motor in '79. When I got involved with it, it was going 12.6-12.7.

Yeah, when I first heard about it, I thought the 3 of them had conspired to jerk me around. When I wouldn't bite, they started talking about hemi powered antique limo's and shit.
It was all true.

Closest I've been to Don Garlits was stopping at his museum.
