How about the battle for SS/LA supremacy? Garrett Ghezzi with his '69 AMX vs. Bill Rink in his '74 GTO? Both agreed to stay in it even if red lighting.
Rink leaves 1st with a -.021 light, Ghezzi leaves with a -.009 light (guess both had too much adrenelin in the veins!). But they stayed in it and it was door handle to door handle all the way to the stripe. Ghezzi takes the lead with a 10.502 to Rink's 10.512!
Rumor is that Rink was quickly on the phone with Patterson Engineering
