RE: AMX NHRA win

Jim, et al,
Brainerd is in Minnesota not Wisconsin.  I think Pearson has a shop in the
twin cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul).  I was told he did the porting on the
heads that are on my AMX that I bought this spring.

Subject: AMX NHRA win

I have a co-worker that's an avid drag race fan and past racer (albeit with
Cheby's).  He brought me in the Sept 2 issue of National Dragster.

On Aug 11-14, there was a NHRA National meet in Brainerd, Wisconsin; Scott
Pearson running a '70 AMX in Super Stock (SS/JA) won the event with a final
run of 10.864/121.30 against a 10.86 dial; he had a .057 reaction time.

Two page article goes through the different rounds, but there's also a short
bit on how the engine is built:

"Action Engineering's Jimmy Dean machines the 360 block that has been bored
to 372 cubic inches.   Pearson does his own cylinder-head and transmission
worok (the transmission is a 904 Torqueflight three speed witha TCI
converter) and rear ends.  The electric shifter is from Trubo Action.  The
carburetor is a small Ford Four-barrel on a modified Edelbrock intake
manifold.  The valvetrain is from Comp Cams, and the pisotns are 10.2-1
compression Venolias. The crankshaft and connectiong rods are stock.  The
12-bolt Chevy rear end holds 5.57 rear gears.  Weld wheels carry Mickey
Thompson slicks."

GREAT to see an AMC win this event!  This a friend of yours Jock?
