two different cars. the red one is not the green one

The BO29 Race Hemi Barracuda dominated the SS/B class. Combining radical weight loss attributes with a motor producing near 550hp…these 3100lb cars dragged SS ETs into the mid 10’s. As with other ‘top of the heap’ Super Stockers of 68, there was little relevant in the SS Darts and Barracudas to...
