A couple of weeks ago I received a last minute invitation to the Trans Am Series Celebration, as they were looking for a little more then Mustangs. So my 69 Sprint FB and My Friend Mike with his 70 Formula (with a T/A hood) showed up. I was surprised that no Mopar's, AMC's or even a Camaro showed up. It was open to any 1965-1972 Pony Car, or even any of the under 2 Liter cars like Alpha's.
But I was able to surprise the road course guys with my 6 cylinder Bird. I have done a little SCAA racing along time ago (seems like another Life Time) So after a couple of laps I remembered how to do it.
I didn't tell them that my Little 6 was actually 301ci, and was bigger than the 289's and the same size the 302's. My car is set up for the 1/4 mile so sits to High, has 4 wheel drum Brakes, and the tires are to tall. But I could still downshift so I didn't need the brakes that often, and once I remembered to tap the brakes to set the front end I could keep up with the Fords in the turns, and actually overtake on the 2 decent straights. Had a lot of fun and scared the wife a little so all is good.
Mikes 70 Bird, and the Red Mustang Fastback were a lot Faster than me, but I could pass some of the stock Mustangs, and keep pace with the rest of them. Cool overcast day so that may have kept some people away.
