They were "full" of Wynn's Friction Proofing....the sponsor of this movie. Hurst sponsored similar drag racing info-mercial movies in the 60's, too.

One question I have is how did the Fords do so well when Y-Block 312's had such crappy oiling systems? I'm not saying it to be derogatory but it's a know fact that Y-blocks in general had poor oiling, were they modified for racing? Anyone out there have an answer?Adam LindenbaumIn a message dated 12/10/2010 4:02:08 P.M.

Chrysler did not win because of time spent changing tires because the heavy Chrysler 300's really when through tires. See the Plymouth Fury Pace Car!!!! The Plymouth Fury's had 240 HP painted on their hoods which meant they were running 1/4 bbl carburetor.Ford and Mercury were running dual carburetors in this race.*** * Part1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EehuwA7l5zE&feature=related <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EehuwA7l5zE&feature=related>*** * Part 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0BIL-fXam8&feature=related<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0BIL-fXam8&feature=related>*** * Part 3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeUa9iZdpWI* ** * Ron Swartley************************************************************** To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1 <http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1> ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go tohttp://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1 <http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1> ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1
