Sea change: in the '50's, Chevy stovebolts effectively eliminated Olds, Hudsons etc, then the early 60's found MoPars and 409's making inroads, but later in that decade the lanes full of '55-'57 Chevs gave way to Camaro's (mostly) with a few Mustangs, Cudas, Challengers.

It seems as if Camaros of '67-'71 held sway until the GT rules, then the F.I. stuff and now another sea change: lanes full of current Mustangs and Challengers

I'm sure each group that got "pre-empted" felt wronged. Ford stepped up with money and money talks.....I'm not sure winning on Sunday translates to Monday sales especially when we generally on the track when no one is in the stands

As an aside, of all the Mustangs and Challengers sold, where are they? I thought Ford's intent was that they be raced not collected.
