I gave my magazine collection away when we moved so i can,t tell you the name of the magazine---but could have been hi-performance cars--- i sure someone else must have seen it---help me out---and of course the car was red!
It was one of the few that would wheelstand with the poor guys hanging on to what was a 9 second car easily, as they ran it well into the late 80s. I believe the min weight was 2250lb for the C trucks. I saw some youtubes of it a year or so ago, I'll try to find it again. I'm almost positive it was Patchogue. Back in 72 I was at one of the races and Central Islip blew the motor in their A truck, it was a 413 Max Wedge with a 671 blower. The next few weeks I spent negotiating to buy it as is from them but they decided to rebuild it, 600 dollars was the price. I would have had one bad *** street/strip 63 Sport Fury for a 17 year old kid in 72.
