Don,

Thank you for the piece of history on your racing...a very good time for a 
heavy car and trans/gear maladies.

Gary P wanted to know who raced polys.

Back around 1970, my brother and I raced a 318 Poly in IHRA/AHRA Pure Stock.
Pretty much a stock set-up in a 1965 Belvedere 1. With a slipping tranny, we
set the National Record. Best run was a 15.96 in L/SA. This was in legal
trim. Back then that was a very amazing performance for a couple of guys 
with
limited financial resources, if I can say so. Would have been nice to see 
the
performance if we'd had a good tranny and the right gears.
