Furgye fast enough to conquer fried field

 

By Bob Wilkiewicz

Nostalgia Super Stock National Association

 

BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky – In the first pair of cars running down a roasting race track on Friday morning, Ron Furgye also made sure he was in the last pair on a sizzling Sunday afternoon.

Furgye survived brutal weather conditions and also a semifinal battle against last year’s runner-up Doug Duell and went on to edge Jimmy Ray to win Nostalgia Stock Eliminator at the seventh annual Holley National Hot Rod Reunion June 19-21

“This is a big win at a great event with top level racers,’ said Furgye, who used an .066 reaction time advantage and a 11.048 elapsed time to squeeze past Ray’s 11.035 effort in the final.

Furgye, skillfully driving his ivory and gold candy-striped 1963 Plymouth in NSS/C (11.00 index) all weekend, topped a 35-car field. “We couldn’t be more pleased,” he said.

Ambient air temperatures in the high 90’s and high humidity pushed the heat index to near 110 degrees all three days, making conditions extremely difficult for both people and machines.

Drivers were challenged to deal with temperatures up to 125 degrees in the cars and crew chiefs were looking at a track surface as hot as 135 degrees with density altitudes approaching 5000 feet.

After advancing with a bye in the quarterfinals, Furgye defeated Duell and his 1964 NSS/A (10.00 index) Plymouth, .081 and 11.070 to .116 and 10.057 to reach the final.

Wheeling a 1965 Chevrolet Malibu, also in NSS/C, Ray was remarkably consistent at the starting line, averaging .025 over the first three rounds, including a perfect .000 performance against Bob Akers and his 1965 Dodge in the quarterfinals.

Ray was also consistent at the finish line, posting five of six eliminator elapsed times in the 11.00’s.

Larry DeSpain was the other quarterfinalist in his 1964 Plymouth Fury, falling to Duell by a red light.

With a freshly-built 1966 Pontiac GTO, Richard Barnhart was the No. 1 qualifier, recording a 10.001 in NSS/A and reached the third round before running up against Ray.

Low elapsed time for NSS was set by Jim MacKenzie with an 8.991 on Friday afternoon in his AA/FX 1962 Chevrolet.

Top speed, 146.21 mph, was also claimed with a 1962 Chevrolet by Verlin Hale in AA/FX.

Two other top reaction times, .000 by Joe Cochran in a 1969 AMX and an .004 by D.W. Hopkins in a 1964 Ford, were posted during qualifying.

Perhaps the toughest defeat was suffered by Donnie Wilson, who posted a perfect 11.000 run in his 1965 Dodge against Akers in the third round but left .005 too soon. Wilson also had a .004 green reaction time in the first qualifying session.
