- The race you are about to see appear as originally broadcast and may contain imagery that is offensive and doesn't align with NASCAR's values. NASCAR has since permanently banned the display of the confederate flag at all events.
Noteworthy: that Boss 429 prepared by Holman-Moody was equipped with a dry sump oil pan and a single plane spyder intake housing a 4500 dominator Holley. These engines initially dynoed at just over 600 crankshaft HP. Later 'D' port intake Boss engines made about another 30-35 crankshaft HP and were run on the track at 6800 to 7200 RPM.
yes, the oversquare bore and stroke gave the B9 and easy 400 rpm over the mopar hemi.
I miss the old configuration of AMS, with its quarter-mile straights and half-mile turns.
It was a sad day when it was reconfigured to what amounted to a clone of Charlotte.
There 2 reasons/excuses for that
· Better point of view for the spectators (that's why most ovals in NASCAR aren't ovals but D-ovals, triovals or quad-ovals)
· Easier and thus safer approach and exit for half of the turns
@@DanArnets1492 no sir, this track was the best viewing track in NASCAR at the time . !
it was AIMS , Atlanta International Motor Speedway . i went there often
This was the last race Charlie Glotzbach drove for Cotton Owens. I checked with other online sources to confirm this.
What I could not find, but recall reading about it years ago [and not mentioned in this race coverage], was Glotzbach getting into trouble with NASCAR officials for some pit road violation. Supposedly Glotzbach was so annoyed by the accusation that he stepped away from NASCAR for the rest of the season.
That infraction may have been Glotzbach running over an air-hose on pit road, but I cannot find any online info to confirm that.
James Hylton got the Owens Dodge ride for a couple of short-track races afterwards; with Buddy Baker driving for Owens in the superspeedway races for the rest of the season.
Neil Castles got the Dodge [#3] ride with Ray Fox after Baker left.
You can totally see why Dodge went batshit. With the wing in the nose cone nobody could touch the fords
Incredible they are racing real street cars and all these different manufacturers mercury wow this is real racing all these different street machines real American Muscle Cars good video this is impressive I really like these classic races with real cars I don’t know what they are driving today they look like some kind of toys .
THATS FUNNY, TELL ME WHERE YOU BUY A STREET MERCURY OR TORINO RUNNING ON A TUBE FRAME ON 65 GALAXIE SUSPENSION PARTS WITH AN ENGINE THAT WAS NEVER OFFERED IN EITHER.
@@davidthayer6969 You totally missed the point unbelievable 🤔🙄
Nothing stopping a person gathering up the parts and pieces and a pile of money, the Boss 429 engine can be built brand new, need about 30 k., all aluminum. JON Kaase engines.
7000 rpms, pretty impressive for the day!!
35 miles per...engine.
Meanwhile, 1960s MotoGp bikes were hitting up to 19000rpm
This right here shows why Chrysler had to come out with their winged cars. Head to head, the Boss 429 was the stronger engine.
I didn't know Chris Economaki went back this far and even further.
Economaki was a known auto racing journalist starting in the 1940s - My biggest mystery about him is how there are 0 references of him being involved in World War 2 despite him being in the right age range
@@DanArnets1492 His obit in the NY Times mentions he was in the Army in WW2 and served in Europe.
🏁Very cool, really enjoyed!!!!!🏁
I’ll never never understand why Pearson didn’t get new rubber late other than it being a concession that he will finish where he finishes either way.
Cale made quite the goof there in the victory lane interview.
What was Economaki referring to about Cale returning from Vietnam? was that for some kind of USO Grand National promotion?
RIP and Respect
Cale went on a PR tour and visited lots of wounded soldiers in hospitals in vietnam.
Ford stunk up nearly all racing with the side oiler. Then they come out with the 429 boss and it was no wonder NASCAR banned that engine. They didn't want to see the entire field made up of Ford products again. Then in the 80s NASCAR made two more concessions. They allowed GM brands to run Ford style heads because GM engines were popping like popcorn. Then they allowed GM brands to alter the rear window to match the Thunderbird, only they let them go even more so, with a curve to the window that was even more aero than the Thunderbird. Basically, NASCAR admitted nobody can beat a Ford honestly, so just change the rules to allow non Fords to cheat. Same happened in NHRA pro stock. Glidden was cooking them like chickens, so NHRA made Fords run 100 pounds heavier! When that wasn't enough, they added another 100 pounds. When that wasn't enough, they simply allowed aftermarket engines. That's how they eventually got to the 700ci monsters. First On Race Day. Stop crying, you know it's true! In the 70s the 351 stole the 350s lunch money and laughed.
Lmfao yeah right
the boss 429 was never banned.
Those 69 Dodge Chargers will always be my favorite Nascar Stock Car and the street R/T
I agree!!!!
