BTW, as for mods, there were some minor one i recall to Jacob's 62, a lot more so to the 64, includin a rather knarley solid lifter cam, man would that big boat scream on the top side.
When we ran on slicks, i was surprised that it made him enuff diff that he could now LEAVE WITH me stead of 2-3 behind, but i Still THOUGHT i could hold him off, but as soon as he'de hit 3rd, the "big Red" as he called would jus simply began to walk away, screamin like a bashee jus like it did on leave, and the slicks didn't actually STOP the spinning, both of us stick shift but he was smokin the hides a lot more than me. I tried him more than a few times on the stickies, ended up 2 n 4 and a total of 100 in the hole... we ran 6 times, 2 on street tires, 4 on slicks. i won both times on street tires and lost all 4 on the slicks at 25 bucks a pop, so he won his 50 back plus 100 of MY money.
