1968 '340' Barracuda vs 1968 '383' Road Runner
Back in early 1970 I raced my bone stock '69 340 Swinger against a 383-powered Roadrunner in the G/Pure Stock final at OCIR one Saturday night. I don't know what his gearing was but my Dart had a 3.23 non-SureGrip rear end. I got a bit of a jump off the line since the Dart was lighter than the B-body and the 340 was a rev-monster compared to the 383. He was catching me as we got closer to the finish line and neither of us saw the win light come on. But I picked up the time slip with "WIN" stamped on it with a 14.28 @ 98+ mph.
