What would you do? Slant performance

Sometimes it's interesting just to ask yourself, "What IF?"

For example, WHAT IF.... Ryan Peterson's little 1966 Valiant ( modified as it exists, now,) had shown up as the Chrysler factory was assembling their armada of Stage II and Stage III wedge and Hemi vehicles to do battle with the best from Ford and G.M.?

Yes, but...to be fair...is he running the same tires they were running back then? Wasn't traction a big(ger) issue back then? What could they have done on better tires?

(NOT to detract from Ryan Peterson's car - it's very cool!)
