I once lined up against a '70 Mustang with 454 Rat engine and a "glide" tranny. It was purely a bracket car, trailered, 12" slicks, ran on race gas, and had wheelie bars. This was test & tune night, so it didn't count for anything. I nailed him on the tree and actually beat him to about the 330' mark. The rest of course was history. I talked to him afterwards. He said he just got the car and was only trying it out. He said he was building a Ford 502 that was in progress and would run it as a bracket racer with a C-6. He didn't like the idea of crossbreeds either.
