The Oddest Car You Raced Against
 

1968 Avanti II (white, 4-speed)
It came through with a 327/300HP Corvette engine.

Ran in G/Stock in 1970.

The front of the car looked as though it had large ice cubes wedged
into each side of the grille area.

I thought you said OLDEST for a moment there. LOL. Anyway it was a 1953 Ford 4 door with a Flat head V8 and UGH a 2 speed automatic. Ran in 1963/64. 20.22 seconds in N/S. Almost gave me whip lash. Hey....cant afford much when in High School working part time at Sear's and mom and Dad wouldnt buy me a 409 Chev.

Way back when, E/mp was for 6cyl's I had to race a guy in H/gas during the eliminator at Atco. I drove a slant six , 4sp Valiant with some mod's and a 4 bbl and he had a 1950 Studebaker with a Pontiac OHC 6cyl, 4 sp and Olds rear. It sounded like a 6cyl Ferrari through homehead headers.

Missed third......

Re: The Oddest Car You Raced Against
 

Bracket race at MIR around 2000 or so, a guy over there had a old alky funny car that he had put a blown small block chevy in and would run 7:20's. I ran him with my stocker, with 8 cars left and won...Ironically enough Frank Gugliotta (now running Pro Stock) gave me the left or right option (turn when leaving the gate), the next round with his Top Sportsman car and went on to win it. Now Dave Audet, who sometimes still races his 69 Camaro F/SA car was there in his toyota dialed a 19:22 against the old funny car earlier that day. That was the oddest run i've ever seen....

Re: The Oddest Car You Raced Against
 

A 3 cylinder 2 stroke Saab back in the late 60s at Miami Dragway. The guy was claiming the single carb HP but running the 3 carb Rally pak motor. My partner went down to his shop and got him BSing about his car & he told him about the dopes he was outrunning every week with the K/S 59 Biscayne. He was then introduced to the half owner/dope of said 59, never showed up again either.
