Much to my surprise in 4 green flag laps were were not passed by a single car. I really thought they would pass us like we were tied to a post but Dave would drive away from them on the straights and they would catch us in the corners.

Horsepower rules!

Great story Rob,

The image of that brings up repressed perverse thoughts in my mind like; Who would win a 1/4th mile dirt track event
between the USAC non-wing sprint cars and the USAC midgets?

Put your money on the Horsepower or the Handling?

lol,
Don
