The Oddest Car You Raced Against

Oldskool,
great stories.
My main takeaway is you've stayed with the same gal for 43 years, at least.
Only 36 years for me, so far.

I imagine those Pintos/Capris did ok in the 1970s - the 2000cc would turn over 8000rpm without ever even pulling the oil pan so it was really limited by the cam and smallish carb. Still, rated at 100ghp and made more than that stone showroom stock so a good place to start.

I grew up FoMoCo but always enjoyed Pontiac Day at Milan just as much as Ford Day. Pontiac made a lot of great street combos. (Too many sometimes!)
