My God, I probably haven't seen a flathead go down a drag strip since about 1968 or '69. Jack....did they have you running something like G/Gas? DD

Probably something like ?/Gas. Just grudge racing. I did beat my pal with a flattie in his Model A. I did have a little traction problem off the line and 2nd gear got rubber. Went through the traps at around 3500 rpm. Running a 3.70 Bronco rear. Did 11.80 in the 1/8th.
