The "Leaving like that" thing is called Cal-Tracs. As in John Calvert.
This particular car has quite a pedigree. Read up on it here: http://morenoracing.com/keenracing.shtml I believe Alex D. had something to do with the carb on it. Not sure. Dale

If the car in FireSail's link is the car you are talking about, That's a 428 4 speed car. Eric Waldo ran 1 like it, haven't seen it lately though.

I think he's referring to the '65/'66, not the '69.

Lets not forget Kip Martin ran 10.20s in SS/L and as fast as 1.30 60 foots at altitude tracks such as Pomona. With a truly legal 289, and these engines were far from high dollars pieces. In my opinion he was a master with the clutch.
