The Trifecta! Spilled his beer, crushed his nuts and got soaked for his trouble...
More good stuff, Weather Man. I met Warren at the Cajun Nationals when he was driving the Hurst Olds (and Glidden had the Thunderbird IIRC). Cool guy. I think they were running 7.77’s which seemed crazy fast for carbureted gasoline.
Quadrajunk.
What are the lines or hoses running to the center of the front tire?
Also may have some on the rear?

They had around 100 lbs of data recorders in the car for testing purposes.
Those are data recording cables youre seeing attached to the wheels.
Look up the mopar missile on a google search. They were using a lot of titanium and magnesium in the car. I think the same car or one of them was so light two guys could pick up the chassis with the suspension attached. Craziness. I remember some ex NASA guys being involved.
I use to work at a auto body shop through high school and the shop owner was a big time pro stock racer. Even had Jerry Eckman race his pro stock firebird in Norwalk one time. I got to go with him on a bunch of the races and got to meet some really awesome people! He always had a bunch of cool stories and neat stuff to talk about.

In case anyone was wondering, it appears that the rules of science and nature are in conflict in my neighborhood.
I do! I remember it well. Almost put one on my 1971 Duster 340. It was the rage when it first came out. Then the interest shifted to the Holley 4-barrel double-pumper. I had both a 650cfm and 750cfm on my Duster during the time I owned it.
How was your fuel mileage with your 3-barrel? The gear drive and dual squirter set-ups were notorious for killing fuel mileage.
Cheetah race cars.
What the....! Somewhere hidden there is a '63 Chevy Impala.
I was using it on a high compression, roller cammed 440 in my race car so the mileage wasn't very good.... Lol
Ah, the days of cheap gas! My cousin used to own a '68 Corvette 427 tri-power. Beast. I remember that year going for a ride with him in Hawthorne, CA and literally watching the gas tank needle move as we drove. I swear he was only getting about 5 MPG. I don't know if it was stock because he drag raced it at an LA area track. But when you're paying only 20 cents a gallon, no big deal.
