in too deep: trying to go BBP on a 68 barracuda and its going.. poorly.

All my 68-69 Roadrunner's and Coronet R/T's had drum brakes. I drove them all like I stole them . 383's and 440 4spd's . Never had a problem stopping. You just had to push hard on the peddle over 100 mph. You did not steer those cars with the F70-14's .You aimed them.

Also with those F70 tires you would lose traction before brake fade. So I was taught hit the brakes down shift , throw it sideways and power through with the rear tires lit up like Smoke bombs. If you needed to , Spin it 90 pull a gear and go the other way. Make sure you place your beer in the cup holder slid down in the window channel if you were using manual steering.

Not to go off the subject at all. But did any of you ever hold the throttle flat out and kick third gear without the clutch?
