Admittedly I was only eight years old in 1970 but I knew the difference between a tunnel port and a Cleveland back then! Hated Penske yet respected Donahue, and Parnelli was the MAN!

It just seems that for some reason the USVTA seems a lil' illogical about some things like motor/batt combos and bodies. There's enuff '69-'70 Mustang and '70 AAR bodies now so you could get rid of the '65-'66 Fast back Mustangs, GT350's and Hemi Cudas. Hemi Cudas look stupid in VTA. GT350's definitely do not look right either. And I've read all about the testing that supposedly showed 21.5 LIPO and 17.5/27T four cell are all the same (as long as you have that very special motor and the best four cells known to mankind).

Most of the guys who tried to run 27T in VTA against 21.5 LIPO at our track quit after the first race, except me and another guy (he spent the $300.00 to $400.00 to upgrade). Flame away!
