Regardless,I have always been astounded at how hard you guys in various classes running the 300 inchers and less could spin one.I suspect that was an area where the Duster just wasn't that great?But that is only a guess,I am not claiming or pretending to know.

Well with racers to answer the big question very few admit to or never recall losing a race.And now as an old fart,I find that many of the guys that never actually ran anyone.Seem to have come out of woodwork and now claim to have been great racers,never lost,and their car is always today faster then anyone else's that was the same make and model?I'll point out that these same characters have exactly zero time cards to show for their racing days,so incredibly it is worse in the grandstands then the pits.And it is even worse now than it was then when you couldn't get them out of the house to line up,cause now they're telling everyone that'll listen that they won.Twenty years ago when the other guy was still living it was that he lost?I figure that it has been lied about so much they can't recall what they last told.That makes it hard to enjoy any of it?I was always in for a good run in relatively slow street junk.When I lost and I did,I didn't actually enjoy that but I would always be the first to say so.Mighty Mouse rings a bell,BC Auto too,red '68-'69 Roadrunner was the shop's car?Or strongly affiliated with it.Well I too recall Sonny's Automotive being an event sponsor and that blaring across the loudspeakers.About twenty year later?I get these mailers from Sonny Leonards Racing Engines wiith my name on it.I open it and they are offering some sort of huge PS type killer engine and iirc?It was $33k complete save for carbs.If you wanted carbs that took it up to $36k?I turned it back over to verify that my name/address were on there.I then thought must be a different person with my name/address?Or I had hit the lottery and didn't know it?Another friend of mine got the same,we still talk and laugh about that.No idea how or why they used my address,I never ran higher then Heavy in street cars.Sonny has clearly hit the big time I guess.
