I could deal with the stick shift only, BUT...
No traction bars also.
NOW we can break some parts on anything but a MoPar with an adjustable pinion snubber. Did they have those in '67?
Let's see.....do I spend a lot of $$$$ (and time) building my own leaf spring only setup or bolt on a set of traction bars like they ran in 1967.
Makes perfect sense to me.

I would like to thank the Southeast Gassers and Scotty Richardson and the crew at Mt. Park Dragway for sticking it out and putting on a great show in Clay City, Ky. this past Sunday. It was supposed to be run on Saturday but we got a little over 3" of rain Saturday, it was still raining on Sunday morning. The Gassers stayed and the track crew got the track dried out and they went racing. First time I've seen them, awesome show. Hope you guys come back next year!

Glad you enjoyed it but with all the bad weather you really didn't get to see but about 1/2 of our normal show. Plus there was about 15 cars that either had to leave or just couldn't come on Sunday. All in all it did turn out pretty good and we had a really good race.
We will be back next year for sure, made the deal before we left.Video should be out by the first of next week.

Herb McCandless won Indy in 1970 with a Hemi 4 Speed with Super Stock springs going 9.90, car went as fast as 9.70 with a 404 Hemi and a 4 speed. Why put a smart *** post up when you had no plans of running it anyway.

Ronnie went 9.48 with Super Stock springs no ladder bars or traction bars in 1971.
