I didn't race against it,,,,,,but I saw it with my own eyes,,,,,,in 1971.
A 1959 Fiat 600 versus a 1963 Willy's Jeep Station wagon. Quite possibly, the slowest combined E.T's in drag racing history. I think the track (Dover Drag Strip) made up the Z/Stock class for them. ![]() Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 10-09-2011 at 01:34 PM. |

Back in the late 80's, there was a guy that raced an 86 Cadillac Cimmaron with a 4 speed in it. It was dark green, beige leather, sunroof, all the buttons.. That thing ran almost in the 13's and set several records and was no.1 qualifier more than once.
Oh wait... memory 's starting to go..That was me...

Again, it was not a Stock or Super Stock car, but back in the day, at Music City, AKA "the Hill", there was a red Datsun pick up truck with a big block Chevy and a 'Glide. In the bed. J. R. Sosh owned it, and called it "Ratsun".

Sorry Paul, that's not a Cadillac Cimarron, that looks more like a Coupe DeVille. Much smaller than the car in the photo...Cimarrons back then were actually Cadillac Cavaliers...same assembly line/platform.

Gary,
I stand corrected,,,,,,,,,,,that was the wrong Cadillac I posted.. The 86' Cimarron, smaller than a 'shoe-box'. |
