Factory Showdown Cars...

Dam I might have read this wrong !
nhra added weight to the hemis yrs ago so bill grumpy Jenkins could beat them. Wally Parks even admitted it and apologized to Ronnie Sox for it yrs later.
And the harleys were given a weight break advantage so they could run w/ the Suzuki`s , look it up !

Plus, they let the Harleys run four valves per cylinder and more cubic inches. Follow the money.
