----I think I bought the El Camino in 1974/75, but could be off by a year. Ft. Liqueurdale had so many stoplights that a 4:10 gear was nothing but fun. Stoplight to stoplight racing, even at that time was rampant, especially after the sun went down. Couldn't get much traction with it so actually never raced it. Left that up to a couple of different Corvettes I was lucky to also have.
----I had a buddy that had a really good running put-together 69 Nova 396/375/turbo 400. He actually ran around town down there with 5:86 gears. He would usually pile 4 of his closest friends in the Nova for traction and go looking for races. The uninitiated would look him and the car and all his buddies over and think they had the race won. BIG mistake. Joey made a bunch of money off that Nova!!!.........Bill S
