Re: Duke's Drive In
Didn't know Dan (postsedan) back then but probably would have beat him in a race if challenged!
Jim, I say... Hell no!
The only 2 cars that I would often race.... and lose. Was a 1972 Buick Skylark GS455, it was Dark Green, automatic, plates read.... "LastGS". Probably the reason I am now building a Buick Skylark 455. Funny how everything goes full circle?
The Buick owner was a loaner, he was always by himself. He never had a passenger. We all made fun of him because he wore black racing gloves. Off the line I had him everytime...but then right around 70mph, here he comes. His car was fast. I`d love to know where this car is today?
The second car I would always lose to was my buddies 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A..... Automatic, 3:90 gears.
My other buddies car was a Day 2 1973 Vega with a 350, It was scary. The back tail panel read...."Suicide is Painless"
Those were the days.
Dan.
