That was the one goal I failed to complete with my old Falcon wagon, before I sold it. The transmission was built to allow overdrive and converter clutch lock-up under full throttle. If the Texas Mile had allowed the use of drag radials, I WOULD have ran it. I just could never bring myself to spend a grand on tires and wheels that I might only use once for that race :-/
Maybe I'll get to run it with the '73 Firebird :-)
It would be fun to have a GROUP of us show up and run it together!
