The Oddest Car You Raced Against

Back in the 70"s a guy from Mass bracket raced a 50"s Chevy Panel Van with a 427, it was a 11 second sleeper.

In the early 90's I ran a "rail buggy" (bracket race) I gave him a .90 spot. He laeft then broke an axle & came into my lane....I got stopped but a very odd race.

1980 Summernationals, Stock Elim, rd. 2, I was running a U/SA 6-banger '71 Nova and I get paired against Bob Bender in his Y/SA Vega wagon. I'm used to leaving first on everyone and here I have to spot Bobby almost 3 seconds! Needless to say, I redlit big time.
