Question for members that were of age in '70

I can honestly say that my 340 never got beat by a 383 or 440 A body car. I had headers and 4:10 gears, that was it. Raced a Hemi RR, it took 3 passes before he beat me. That I know of, and I was in the parts department at a Dodge dealership, there was never any talk of the Hemi in an A Body. Only the 50 factory Super Stocks, Darts and Fastback Baracudas The big blocks, especially the Hemi, were like trying to push a fully loaded grocery cart. I was just at the Drag week event at Cordova. One Dart with big block and one Gen 3 Hemi. The rest were small block.
