Ever race an older muscle car and spank 'em?

The 383 Roadrunner that I raced was pretty much stock with the exception of a gear. The guy was in first gear jumping it trying to get me to race. So I went down into first and decided to romp it and I spanked him (we raced just past third gear). I don't know if he was very good at driving. This was when I had a gear, exhaust, pullies, and K&N. I ran 14.10@99 with 2.2 60' then.

As for big blocks, I do have ultimate respect for them. My dad has some of the best big blocks ever built (427, 428,429, 460). My dad has a lot of stuff, you know the show Sanford and Son, well my dad is Fred Sanford. The 427 Ford is a bad dude, and yes it did come out before Chevy's 427. I argue with people about that all the time.

We have a 67 Mustang racecar that is VERY light, this thing only has a roll bar and a drivers seat. My dad was going to put the 514 ci crate motor in it and race, but college stole that funding.

I just figured this would be a cool topic, since my dad reacted in the typical manner as the other old "stuck in their ways" folks did.
