Call me a old fuddy duddy but i’d like to see these era cars race again
ОтветитьThose winged Mopars are flat-out the very best cars that have ever run in NASCAR and absolutely legendary cars on their own.
ОтветитьSad that that mopar did not support both!
ОтветитьI also believe Hamilton spun him out on purpose for sure, lot of corporate shady business going on during that race.
ОтветитьOf course EVERYTHING is rigged BS
ОтветитьYa buddy!!
Ответитьwhat ?? a vw 912 beetle porsche was a safety car ???
greetings from the home of this thing !
A unique and revealing video y’all got there, of a otherwise lost story.
ОтветитьNeeded 1 more gear.
Ответитьif you ran a chrysler 340 with dry sump bore 4.04 stroke 2.974 305 ci /heads fully ported open single plane nascar intake with fully modded heads 2.02 1.6 valves 14:1 compression and cam with intake lift .0867 and exhaust lift .816 8000rpm 725hp 8500rpm 766hp would be able to fully compete with any nascar car out there you would need the added compression for the destroke
ОтветитьThe 355 engine was a bored and stroked production-340 6-barrel engine block (LA) that we modified for racing use. The modern 355 that we did in 2001 when we got back into NASCAR racing is a purpose-built race engine which has nothing in common with any of our old or new LA engines. [The 355 block was common to all racing applications before 2001. quote Ed Poplawski
ОтветитьGreat review. Great info. Amazing how corporate racing is. I think if fans back then knew how manufacturers actually stunted the growth of tech, power and speed, they would have asserted much more influence.
ОтветитьOxy torch in pit road, the good old days.
ОтветитьSuper cool.. my old neighbor owned a mostly mopar junkyard in moline Illinois. He had a 305 trans am block and crank he had always planned on putting in his 70 t/a challenger. Sadly he never got around to it because he got lymes disease and basically drank himself to death because of the pain.. he also had a torn down 77 “kit car” in his barn that was supposedly a former nascar.
ОтветитьI use to watch nascar races now all the cars look the same I just don't watch it might as well just race VW beetles
ОтветитьVery cool story. I never knew that except today . Thank you so much !!!
ОтветитьGood stuff!
ОтветитьGreat video thanks for showing it and there's no denying that NASCAR always had something against Chrysler products still to this day
ОтветитьThis would make an amazing period film, love that kb305
ОтветитьAwesome video, Andy!
ОтветитьCool video Andy. I was 6 when all this was going on. Of course at the time I had no idea of what was going on, I just thought it was cool to see the crashes. ( dumb kid ) I have much respect for life now !!! That being said I think that little 305 had a really good chance to win. Just goes to show how inefficient the vehicles I love are. All of the small blocks back then were so restricted by the cylinder heads. My how things have changed.
ОтветитьEven with a severely neutered engine the Daytona was a viable competitor.
Ответитьbobby Allisons mercury won this race, led 100 of the laps.
ОтветитьThe rest were running 175 ????
He could run. 200
?????????
Or is that just a potent W2 headed Small Block bet it was around 500 ponies
ОтветитьThis is a great story, and ya wouldn't put it past the players of the era to take out the small block that actually hit 1st place a few times. hard to believe that aerodynamics can make up for the power of 120 CI, even with restrictor plates in play.
Ответитьcool stuff i hadnt seen before thanks!
Ответить❤free bird❤😊
ОтветитьThe 426 Chrylser Hemi was the most penalized engine in history if motorsports..Nascar, Drag Racing Fords was banned rite along with them.Hemi still lives in in top fuel racing.
ОтветитьI have heard and read about this whole deal, but never saw this race. He was taken out!!! I look at it and say, just imagine what that style small block would be able to do with today's technology??
ОтветитьOf course it is a great Legend and Ford always retired a champion 🏆!😊
ОтветитьExcellent!
ОтветитьI think the car was still competitive even with a tiny engine, but it probably needed a better driver to make history. However, 426 engine speed is complete insanity, 217mph in open field is just mind blowing
ОтветитьIt's really a shame that motors and cars were not allowed to race because they were to fast
ОтветитьThe 305 was performing beautifully in the Daytona, I'm pretty sure he would have won ,if not for that incident. In Trans Am ,Plymouth didnt have any luck with the 305 ,they kept on blowing up ,I wonder why? I think there would be more stress on it in Nascar.
ОтветитьThank you for posting this. I was 5 years old - watching this with my dad. I didn't understand what was going on at the time. Now as a Mopar "guy" owner of a 70 roadrunner, all I can say is - OUTSTANDING!!!!
ОтветитьThis history just shows how much advanced that dodge was over Chevy,ford, my opinion dodge was not treated fairly witch goes back to rules in nascar...I think they should b only 3 rules number 1 take a car straight out of the factory dodge,Ford, Chevy... number 2 safety equipment installation... number 3 and a smart driver and go at it now that is the way it started so why change it and f..k restrictor plate racing you might as well run a 4 cilender engine well I want to see the best from the big 3 don't all fans?.... I say this to nascar cut the rules so that dodge will join stock car racing once again!!! And let the fans watch some real racing and watch just how many more people that will b a fan of stock car racing now if you ask me for the big 3 you will progress from that but that is just my opinion from a NC country boy that loves racing and I'm a wood's brothers fan all the way now get that after all the things I said good about dodge...
ОтветитьDefinitely some planned foul play by factory teams in accordance with an unspoken desire for sabotage from corporate above. Imo obviously.
ОтветитьThese race cars had a passenger seat ... they needed a place to put their BIG ASS BRASS BALLS !
Ответить👏👏👏👏👏👏
ОтветитьGreat video , watched it twice 👌
ОтветитьReal cars driven by real men
ОтветитьTry slick 50 in rear end we used it on my 96 chevy truck 3/4 ton 60 thous got put all fluded new and flused block antfezz i keep oil changed and it got 260 + no it never had changed pumps its 6.5 d
ОтветитьThe 340s new with spring s wood rev hi rpms
ОтветитьNascar sucks today.
ОтветитьI really like that 914 Pace car......made in Osnabrück.
Ответитьsame type of people from Ford and Holden acted against the AU Charger 265 CI and this included the motoring press at the time ....look who's laughing now ...any Six pack Charger is now legendary.
ОтветитьLots of irony with Pete Hamilton, the 1970 Daytona 500 winner, being the one to knock the Charger Daytona out of contention in the 1971 race. The nickname at the time for the 5 liter engine was the sewing machine.
ОтветитьIncredible footage! I've told the story of the 305 Daytona many many times but for some reason never thought to seek out the race footage! Great lil breakdown of a quirky NASCAR story!!
