Careful now, Bonestock, them's fightin' words.
Last October in the Lonestar Shootout at Houston Raceway Park, I witnessed the slant six-powered "Buzzin' Half Dozen" from Nebraska (?) run a 10.39 1/4 mile, smoking a Lil' Red Express with a cop 360 in the opposite lane.
There are slant sixes--- and there are slant sixes.
