That Bad Black Regal
Running with the big boys isn't easy when you have nearly half the cubes, no power adders and a manual trans at that. Jay Schonbereger of Philadelphia Racing Engines has been doing it, and doing it well since the opening of our season. The Regal is powered by a 358ci SBC and is backed by a Liberty 5spd, to a 9inch 6.20 geared rear. This car is still not a lightweight weighing in at 3,000lbs, ( that's 300 over what he is allowed ). But going up against some of the fastest cars in the Northeast he's been proving himself each month in the Atco Raceway Quick 8 Series. Cars with dual stages of nitrous and 106mm turbos are the norm, with over 600 cubes for most of the cars. Jay has shifted his way into one final so far and has gone rounds with the best there is. Coming from an NHRA Comp Eliminator background, his eye for the tree and tuning capabilities are there for him. I personally find the car to be outstanding and worth this message boards approval. Jay is also one of the nicest guys you would want to meet and his many fans are now appreciating the Black beasts style and competitiveness.

If he throws a turbo on the car, he will have my dream car.
I give the guy credit for racing with a limited budget and a clutch.

Thanks for the post you guys have some really cool cars!
 
Thanks John, There are plenty of these around here, just trying to get them together on the same night is tough. I doubt he will ever go turbo with it, but after the rules change this year that might be a good bet.
