Not an El Paso Dyer St race but an El Paso War Hiway race. War Hiway goes out into the desert to White Sands Missile Range. A very desolate Road that we used to hold midnight drag races on.
My housemate had a 66 Chevelle that he stuck a 427 down in with a 4-speed transmission an 410 gears. It ran pretty doggone good. He was always bad-mouthing my Duster so one night we decide to match them up on war Highway just above where we lived.
Light turns green and we are off. We both are running in 4th gear and we're still side by side and accelerating.
I backed off at 7000 in 4th an he backed off also.
With 3.91s I figured we were right at 140.
He stopped bad mouthing my Duster after that.
The good old days were a lot of fun.
