Since 1959 I've had lots of fun behind Pontiac power. But one instance stands out for me. Running my blown alky M/T hemi in the latter part of a season (maybe 1996?) at the Vermont state fair in Rutland, I drew a high number (to be the last to pull). Watching the better competitors getting to about 250' on the 300' track, I made my best guess at gearing, etc., and it came together nicely- the sled never stopped me and I shut down at around the 330' mark! To cap it off, a local TV reporter was in my face as I took my helmet off.
