Cool gtx, you are an ol pro at it then! I didnt get a muscle car again til '98(25 years since my Barracuda)...so you were doing it when I was still driving around in my Dodge Van with a murel on the side..lol(hippie)In 2000 I fixed up my 72 Challenger w/ aluminum heads, dominator etc and did fairly well against all the Chevys down there. Then it started getting like you said...too wild and crazy.. My other Chevy buddy said he used to race a little on Dort back in the 70s...so that sounded familiar when you mentioned it. I'm retired too. Thanks for sharing the stories. Good luck with your re-sto post up some pix when you can.
