No complaints here. The chevy won 1 out of 3. The duster being about 800 lbs heavier has a harder time hookin up
. You do mean the dodge dart..lol

That was back when "grudge" racing was fun to watch. Nowadays it's 3 months or more of trash talk, what seems like 30 minutes of staging after the burnout, then a quick pass.

One things for sure, Ma Mopar screwed up big time when they didn't sign the grump to a racing contract in 66. They had the chance and blew it. He was a big thorne in their side from then on.
Fastest 300

I actually preferred to go to the match races than the big events. They ran whatever they felt like, which, if you watched closely in the pits & paid attention, usually meant stuff that wasn't NHRA legal so you could see what did & didn't work. Big inch motors (for the day) weird engine set-backs, and experimental engine pieces were all commonplace back then & many things are now considered standard on today's racecars---I.E side-mounted carbs, oversize fuellines, crank-triggered ignitions were allused on these early P/S cars & today we EXPECT a racecar to them!
