I enjoyed the post by the guy who claims to have beat everyone with his 265 chevy. Where was that, Fantasyland Speedway?

Well, you just have to pick your races carefully.

I feel like joining that forum and telling the guy with the 265 that beat everyone I doubt it would have came close to the 59 371 Olds powered 53 Olds I had,guys with 350s got beat by a couple car lengths.

As much as I hate to say it I had a friend with a 56 scrub 235 2bbl column stick that was a terror! No one ever figured out why he was so quick but he embarrased a lot of cars that should have wiped him up. He was a sort of a geek and not a car nut. Just had a fast 56. That said, his was the only one that could stay with my 57, trip deuce, 312 ragtop. There is no correcting these fools on what they think happend or they heard about. They usually were noplace near a track or, god forbid, street race. Tell them to get their tri 5 scrub, add to it compatible equipment and meet us at the track. Or in old guy talk, Put up or Shut up!

I wanted to add, the fastest basic stock 55 Ford I remember was a friends 2dr sedan. Said to have been a police car from California. Had a wicked lope at idle. At least thats what it sounded like to 16-17 year olds. If a scrub even looked like he was going to run him down he would kick it out of overdrive and go for broke. It never broke!

One day we were at his house and an older (19?) guy that worked at a garage (probably pumped gas but to us he was a Mechanic) was doing a tune up. He was going to set the valve lash and when he pulled the covers off found a missing push rod in one hole and a bent one in the next! As you might have guessed fixing that took the lope out of the idle. I don't think he ever had to kick it out of idle again to win a street race. That darn thing was wicked! I wish I had known enough about engines at that time to really see what was in it. But of course I would have forgotten most of it by now. As Jerry C says "thats my story and I'm stickin to it".
