The 272 has 143K+ miles on it since it has been last opened up and is still running well. The car itself has over a quarter of a million miles on it. The BBORR is two legged race of 59 miles each way with the results totaled for 118 miles. I was entered in the 90 MPH class and once the results were tallied up, Linda (my navigator) and I ended up being only 0.140 seconds off of perfect for both legs. The 272 did run up to 109-110 mph in the straights to make up time for curves and hills but was reasonably comfortable running at 95-98 where only slight increases in speed were needed. The only suspension mod to the car was a 1955 Ford station wagon front sway bar and the tires were upgraded to ‘H’ rated tires good for 130 mph. Lorena, Texas (South of Waco)
