First NHRA race I ever attended was in Houston. I pull up to tech and Wesley says nice to meet you finally wrong trim on your trunk lol. Then he says pull over to the side and get a chassis sticker. Harold says to thin load it up. Wesley took me in the trailer pulls out the book and says go borrow a 4gc put it on (I was running a 327/275 w/qjet) add 175lbs and run GT/H. So we did. Can ran like s... all weekend. Found out the carb I borrowed was messed up and was only running on 2 barrels. Don't work on a 327 like it does on a cobra jet. LOL
