1968 Plymouth Road Runner

[Paul Ceasrine]

When the 68' Road Runner first came out in October 1967, and
if you went to race it during the 1967 season,
you were classed in B/S or B/SA.

In 1967, the B/S class had a a weight factor 9.50 - 10.59 wt/hp.
The B/S class was that broad of range.

So the 3400 lb., 383/335 HP Road Runner was classed with
the 440 GTX's, 440 R/T's, 400 GTO's and 4-4-2's, and SS396 Chevelle's.
All of which had much higher horsepower.

And not to forget the #2950 lb. 'Z-28' Camaro 4-speeds.

On the road, The Road Runners could handle themselves, but on
the drag strip,,,,,,,,,,,sometimes it wasn't pretty in late-1967.

In 1968, when NHRA re-classed everything, the Road Runners were
classed in E/S or E/SA (10.00 - 10.49 wt/hp).
The automatic cars were much more successful than the 4-speeds.
