From what I have been told there are some "backup" cars out there as well, acid dipped & set up very close to the "race" cars. They were used for testing etc & were all but ready to go if the race car got wrecked during the season. There is no way I could ever afford to own one of the race cars but a backup car would be a cool thing to own and I do have a verified Carlton Hemi to put in it.

No way. That 1.43 60 ft. time was damn good for its time.

Just the ones who didn't want to scratch the back of their guitars. I am pretty sure that is where the practice came from , but I had a neighbor who also incorporated it into his lawn care routine. Man , I love threads like this. I did have the model and saw a lot of the magazines when they came out. American history at its finest.
