Ed Beyer and Dale Young's '69 Mercury Cyclone CJ 428. You may remember Ed from him being the Hurst "Shifty Doctor" back in the '60's. He also was a national record holder with his '56 Pontiac Stocker.


 The team participated in both NHRA and AHRA competition. 

They ran with a Holley 2-barrel in F-3 F/SA in AHRA and in NHRA with the 4- barrel Holley in F/SA. 

They also had the option of running with the flat non- Cobra Jet hood bringing the car down to G/SA. 

During the '69 season they were also able to move up into SS/JA.

The 428 was bored .030 over and featured a cross drilled crank by Holman-Moody and Stroppe who also did the final balancing. 

Best time running in SS/JA was 11.87 at 118.42
