The Dart won both times because the Camaro could not hook and the driver was not as slick as that slick shifting Hemi at mid-range. My friend was at the race and saw the whole thing from start to finish.
Hemi was fast, but the Camaro was a bit faster and with out a good driver, the car was drunk and it was a done deal. It happened on the old stretch leading up to 150th St, not the stretch every one knows today.
