A friend of mine at that time bought one of the new 1962 Ford 406, 4 speed, tripower cars and we raced occasionally - he never beat the Pontiac. He wondered why and I told him the main difference was the weight of his car - I think it was about 600 lbs heavier than the Ventura, possibly more than that. We still had fun with those cars and he kept trying to beat me.
