"Actual Match Race" 1969 440 'Cuda vs 1973 Firebird Formula 'SD-455'

I tore into a SD455 Firebird back when I was a kid.
I ran him on top end with my 340 Swinger with a 3.23 gear.
I had to insult him in front of his girlfriend to get him to run me, remember I was only 18 at the time & probably not very mature. LOL
Tried to get him to run me from stop light to light, he wouldn't bite.
Finally got him on the hiway going out of town, we didn't pull on each other at all, until I got into the upper RPM in high gear.
Then I started to edge him.
Got to thinking that my mouth was going to get the best of me on this one.
Got to respect them SD's.
