Bruce,

Those '74 SD-455's were rated in the upper 300's as far as HP, weren't they?
It just looked like the Yenko driver
pulled off the power and let the Trans-Am pull away. Are
those races staged? Anyone know who's Yenko was featured
in this segment?

Colin or Charley might have an insight on whether those races are staged or not. But from what I remember, the SD's HP rating was VERY conservatively estimated (insurance purposes). If I'm not mistaken...weren't the ratings near to or the same as a hemi (425 +/-)? On unleaded gasoline no less and with less compression?
