This car showed up at the
Nazareth small track one Sunday and embarrassed EVERYONE. I don't remember
who drove, but you could hear that 427 Ford cammer over every other car
including Leon Manchester's Dodge Hemi. Later on I think Joe Kelly drove it
at Flemington. The car had a huge whitewall tire on the right front. It
always ran like the dickens, but never seemed to have much success. Lord!
What imagination the builders had then. Find a car, find an engine, put them
together and then find a driver to make it all work. Granted, I know it was
a lot harder than that, but doggone if it didn't work most times, and almost
everyone had at least a chance to come up with something competitive and
make all the others scratch their heads and wonder how. Next week it was
their turn. |
