Kind of a streetracing story...........
An older friend of mine back then had a real nice '69 Nova big-block car. For its time it was a nice street/strip car somewhere in the 11-second range.
Now back then many of us didn't know as much as we thought (or should have) so it was unuasl for the engine mods to far outpower the rest of the car. My friend had partially welded his axle tubes to the centersection & thought a rosette weld & some beads along the ouside would suffice---WRONG! he's running slicks & a 4-spd, goes to launch it one time & the car looks like its doing everything it's supposed to---slicks wrinkle, front-end lifts, then-------- BANG! we go running to see what's up. Well it seems the car squatted a bit too much , the welds broke & he spun the centersection putting right through the floorboards! . Sadly, after that the car was pretty much a street-only car & he built a milder motor for it......
