I remember well the "No Neutral Starts" sign. I was there. EVERYONE was doing them, it was before the good converters that are available today. We had a 64 Hemi Dodge there, an aluminum nosed Super Stocker out of Ohio.


I was wondering when I'd see another "if you race a torqueflite you're gonna die" thread. It's been a while.

I'm 70 years old and have been racing one behind a Hemi in a 65 Dodge since 1969, and have never blown one up. In my 53 years of racing, I've seen three let go, and all of them were due to driver error. Build it right, pay attention to what you are doing at all times (which you should be doing anyway), and you won't have an issue.

But, what do I know?
