I think Sam Auxier ran one in a class called Ultra/Stock (a forerunner to Pro Stock),in another association. I'm sure someone more NASCAR savvy than me will come on here and set us straight. Danny Durham
Danny,
In 1969 Ford and Mercury won 30 out of 54 races held. Most of those were with the Boss429 although the first few were still with the tunnel port 427.
thanks, Roland
