[Dr. Eric M. Schiffer]

How about the 1967 test session at Motor City Dragway. Most people think Royal kept going back to the drag strip for every magazine article. Not true.

Look in the back ground and you will see a couple more Firebirds. One of the Firebirds is the Mystery Bird and the other one is for the compairson of the automatic vs the 4 speed Firebird test.

I want you to look closely at the picture of Sid Warren where he is puting the wing nut onto the air cleaner lid. Can you see the edge of the ram air pan that holds the foam? Is it a smooth edge like stamped steel or a rough wavy edge you'd find on fiberglass? Humm.

Many times the slower driver got the fastest car and the faster driver the slower car to keep things at least close if not even. There was a reason we call John Poitzer "Cheater". Look at the way he lines up the 2+2 at the light. It is not straight. By coming in a little sideways he fools the starting light that he has a larger tire and the timer will not start until he breaks the beam. Think about it. There are several other tricks John would use. You'll note John usually gets them out of the hole.
My good buddy, John "Cheater" Polizter. Really...LOL
