The RAIV was the overall winner.

The Yenko Nova suffered wheel hop and was a fresh resto, but I don't believe it was "off" enough to explain why it came in dead last in nearly every event.

The Shelby had the largest factory wheels and tires, the AMC Rambler/Scrambler had the smallest.

The RAIV just flat out cranked, although I did notice the car lift its ass end on launch, so I believe it may have had hop-stop (or no-hop) bars installed. This may explain why the GTO seemed to hook much better than the other cars.

BTW, I'm only here to gloat.

Seriously, it was a very cool shootout, and I'm sure there will be lengthy debates as to why these cars ran quite a bit slower than what we've seen at the Pure Stocks.

Don't tell anybody, but I think it may be the driver!
