1969 440 'cuda
This Car Was Built For One Thing Only,
Cliff started the Barracuda back-up, and pulled the 'Freak' up to the
burn-out area.
Cliff did another 'Monster' burn-out, lighting up the 9" Goodyear Slicks
with ease. The 'D3' compound slicks were working well in this brisk weather.
It was another 'point-and-go' from Fred working the Lights.
Cliff again 'Power-Braked' for another launch at 3000 RPM's.
The Chrondek Tree hit green, and Cliff punched it as the 440 swallowed
'air-and-fuel' as the car roared out-of-the-hole.
With Cliff now shifting the Torque-Flite at 5200 RPM's, the 'big' 440 pulled
harder.
Again the car looked like a 'Green Flash' roaring down the Westhampton
Dragstrip.
Results ......... 12.82 @ 110.9 MPH
