Re: Trailer Killers!
10-4 I enjoyed those car more at the demo derbies than I did at the drag strip, however I did take my Dad's new 4 door/360 cubed 72 Plymouth barge down the track a few times and actually made a few bucks in bracket 4.

Re: Trailer Killers!
In the late 70's I built a 1969 chevy brookwood stationwagon, it was a 396 /265 h.p. 2bbl engine,and a t-400 trans, weight with driver for Q/SA 4705 lb's# it wasn't very quick back then @ 14.17 e.t and 83 mph, but it would pull the front wheels 2 feet off the line ..

Does anyone remember a 68 Ford Country Squire called the "Jolly Green Giant"?. It used to really wind up a crowd to watch this tank get to half track and then see if some COPO/Hemi/FE combo could reel it in. It was some 352/390 combo that must have put it in, like, triple Z automatic.................... |

1970 Ford T-bird, 429 cid, 360 hp factory and NHRA. Fits naturally into I/SA. 4,490 pounds. Might be one of, if not the, heaviest I/SA cars around.

I spoke with him about the car when we were both racing the IHRA national event held at GLD in Union Grove WI in the late 70's. It had the longest set of header collectors I ever saw. At least 48 inches long. I also met Ricky Smith for the first time at that same event. He was rather difficult to understand then.
