Hi All -
Oh boy, a good discussion.
According to what I've read recently, but don't remember where, the hemi
was finished testing about a week before the Daytona 500, which, if you
recall, was won by Richard. 2nd, 3rd, and, I think 4th, was also a hemi.
The first drag hemi, running A/FX, I saw was much later in the year. I
just remember most of the guys who had them were very upset that they
didn't run faster. Then they figured out how to make them run as fast as
they should and the rest is history.
It's interesting that sometimes the written "history" doesn't
necessarily agree with the actual observation and experience. I guess
that's how legends, and the hemi certainly fits in that category, begin!
