Back then I wasn't class racing, but in 85, 86 when I was bracket racing a 68 Belvedere with a Slant 6 running 18's - 19's was when I had the most success. What I heard the most was that people couldn't stand just sitting there watching me get away & would redlight or sleep. A lot of people hated that car.
Took it to the bracket finals in 86 & runner upped in the ROC to Worm.
