Default Re: Biggest handicap start you've seen/been a part of

1982 Racing at Napierville Qc, I ran my 1969 Chevelle aluminum headed 427BB in a king of the hill race(everybody runs) and I was racing a Toyota Tercel running on three cylinders I was dialed 10:95 and he was dialed 21:00 flat. He left what at the time looked like an eternity on me with a 7 light(which I didn't know) and I left on 5O9 I never thought I was ever going to catch him until second gear where it look like he was stopped in the middle of the track, I had to shut it down because he ran 23:00 something. Now reflecting on this I just can't believe that I was part of that race, I kept thinking what if I had crashed into him at that speed. Just luck I guess. Claude
