First post on this site, lots of cool stuff to read.
Have a '41 2 door sedanette, dual carbed and 100% stock. First old Buick I had was a '39 opera coupe back in the mid 70's, also stock except for a little lowering and some wheels and tires.
Anyway, I thought some of you might get a kick out of this article from an old issue of the inliners newsletter. I was a member back in the 80's for a few years with a '54 Chevy hardtop, but really wanted, someday, another Buick. Have a few more interesting articles with S-8 stuff. One with Mel Tull who still, since '91, owns the record at B-ville in the unblown street roadster XXO class with a 169.940. They ran a 178 and change they day they got the record! He's a Straight eight guru from way back and I've talked to him a few times, great guy.
This little article on Pete Shadinger is a good read too...best run was a 148 in '65.
Sorry if this a repeat of info, being a rookie here I don't know what's been posted before.
