I saw them run twice in 1970 at MIS. Race wing cars were (still are) awesome.

In those days Chrysler caused NASCAR to rewrite the rules Almost weekly. Question, why was the Dodge Hemi illegal, but the Plymouth Hemi not?

Ah MIS. I saw King Richard git harpooned by a cartwheeling driveshaft in the grill of his '68 500(I think) and kept rite on doin' laps. He came in for fuel 15-20 laps later, his pit crew pulled that drive shaft out of the nose of that Dodge and he went rite back out there chasin'. Dam thing had missed everything that would have kept him from going back out

That never happened. I was there for all those races... (until Petty went GM in 1978)
