When I raced out of Jimmy's shop in Nashville, we ran Music City (1/8 mile flat out) on Saturday Night and Bowling Green (1/4 mile) on Sunday. Mike Lynch in SS/L never went to Bowling Green. I knew that in SS/L we ran a 1.07 high gear so I asked Jimmy if those guy passed on Bowling Green because they had too much rear end gear. He just grinned.
