"Ramcharger Candymatic" Reminds me of a story a friend of mine tells. He was a young guy in Pennsylvania and at his local track the top dog was a 409 Chevy and it belonged to Dave Strickler. One week end in 1962 a Dodge from out of town showed up at the track. My friend Leroy said it was the ugliest thing they had ever seen and to make matters worse the darned thing had an automatic in it. Everyone knew race cars had sticks. Anyway at the end of the day it end up the ugly dodge against Stricklers chevy for top eliminator. The Dodge cleaned the chevys clock. Strickler in disbelief challenged the Dodge to a rematch and the results were the same.I asked him if he remembered the Dodge guys name or the name of the car and all he could remember was the Dodge said "Mean with 413" on it. He said no one there could believe the Dodge beat the local Hero.
