Congratulations to Tony Schmaucher for setting the fastest mile per hour record in NHRATop Fuel history today in Columbus, Ohio...336 and change...not too shabby for a guy with a HEMI in his car... :argue:------chevy and fordThe motors that Alan Johnson builds for Schumacher are to Chrsyler what Eminem is Paul Mcartney, started in the same place, but one has nothing to do with the other! :hammerhea Congrats to those guys, they do haul the mail.
I just checked too on the faster and quicker classes. TF and FC dont have a chevy in sight. All chevys left the building about when Elvis did...1974. I Wonder why?

Terry, don't you think it is time you put a lid on it with all your Hemi crap? You pollute other forums with hemi this and hemi that. You have been building one for who knows how long. Yes Hemis are the motor of choice in the blown classes. But in Pro stock where you are tauting them, they are at the middle of the heap. So when is your boat gonna see the water? And, who is gonna drive it?
You get Ray Barton's finest 500" and we will pull out one of our worst and let's go to the track. See how well you rate.
Congrats to all the 2nd round losers who were running HEMIS

Hey...where'd ya get the pics! I spent 4 years in that shop. That's Ricky that Alan's talkin to. He's one of the best port designers in the world. Don't know the other guy...he's just another machinist.

Hemi heads in TF cars are still basically Hemi heads. They're closer in design to the original than, say, a Big Chief or Pontiac or B1. Way closer. BBC heads in Pro Stock don't even come close to resembling a BB Chev head, in any way...not even bore spacing.
Certainly you don't mean this De Marco, Do you?

Isn't that a Mako?

1982 De Marco. Mr. Earmshar described it to me as his absolute most favorite boat and expressed some very fond memories of it.
He got this boat back from the painter and assembled it the same week and got to the Texas Shootout by that Friday. He won in that boat its very first time out. The $1500 purse was spent over the next two days in Texas, celebrating. He did 152 MPH in this boat (no capsule). Ran it until I think 1984, then sold it to a guy around Stockton, CA.
It resurfaced about 1-1/2 years ago in Oregon and I scrambled up there--cash in hand--to buy it. Because of the history, it was really something to see but in the end I passed and went with another boat.
When Sonny De Marco quit building boats, Don brought Mako Boats onto the scene. Today, Sonny De Marco lives in Redding.
