Didn't seem exactly fair with the Elco having posi and all. Both races were close, and the the last one the ford got a crappy rt and lit the tires off.

Yea, with a better driver, the Ranchero would have won. Like the driver said, 10 more feet, it is his race.

That would be a joke, a 383 vs. a 400m?? If it is a stroker deal, why not a stroker windsor, or just both fact. big block cars. 454 vs 429??
