I think this link will only work if you have FB and are signed on. AA/SA final. Pond vs McLanahan. It was a post on FB from Nicholas James Samson. I'm not sure if he is on CR but.....it is a terrific video. Kudos to Nicholas.

This was obviously lifted from NHRA.TV wish I knew how he accomplished it?

Pond outqualified McC 9.76 to 9.89.

Heads up finals are the very best!

Great race! And two years ago it was Mangus vs Gilley. Love those heads up finals.

Thanks for posting video

Reminds me of A/S final at Indy a few years back, McCormick (?) vs Calvert

I'm surprised that big wheelstand didn't hurt the Camaro. Interesting that the race was essentially even at 60, but the Camaro made a much quicker move to 330. Gearing? Horsepower? Hard to tell from here, but this was one of the most enjoyable videos I've watched in a long time.

Congratulations to both racers - that was a display of how it's supposed to work.

That was 2010 - Jason McCormack vs John Calvert; arguably the best side by side race ever. I go to Indy every year, so I was there; but I still watch the video on YouTube at least 2 or 3 times a month.

Remember Stock Final - Englishtown, NJ 1977
Kenny Koonce Camaro vs Teachers Pet - Jerry Stein Plymouth.
Both A/SA cars

Jerry Stein barely won.
Kenny Koonce upset that Jerry Cross Staged..
Allowing him to get jump on Kenny.

Well that is what Kenny said..
