The Factory Experimental Cars

This was a great era in drag racing history even though I always thought it was unfair that certain teams got parts the other teams could not get.

I know some will say it has always been done this way but it still sucked that certain teams had all the right high performance parts while other teams were trying to do the best they could do with what they had.

The other thing I never realized that back in the 60's many of the match races were fixed!!!!!!!!!

I had always wondered about this and if it went on but after reading some posts on another forum by drivers who matched raced for a living it appears that it was true.

Promoters told you in advance that if you wanted future bookings with them this is the way it works.

I still enjoyed watching all those match races for years.
