I haven't raced a stick car since my very first year in drag racing over 4 decades ago, but one car I haven't seen in years, that I'd love to race in B/S is Steve McFarlands '69 Mustang that ran in both B & C/S. Why I also loved that car is I have a video from D2 at the '96 Fram/Autolite Nationals in Commerce, Ga., that showed his car taking off from the line, and suddenly darting to the right towards the Christmas Tree. However, without delaying his shift points, Steve just as quickly not only got that car heading down the strip, but just as quickly as he did that, he was going into 2nd gear, then shortly before the 330 mark he was in 3rd, and then 4th by around the 450ft mark. He pulled up alongside his (I believe 2nd round opponent), in a Camaro got a nose on that car, and rode it to the stripe to take the stripe and the win! His car made it to the semi's where he unfortunately lost to a '65 Impala with a 327 and also a 4spd, that went on to lose the final to Scotty Richardson, and his then '68 Camaro!

Next to the 2010 A/S Indy final, that was my second favorite race and car to watch!
