Re: Slot lovers unite!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SHELB...item1c10de9e17 Check these out. I think I copied and pasted right.? Hey, it worked! I had a 72 Gran Torino Sport with a 351 Cleveland in it. I stuffed a cam in it with a 750Holly,Hooker headers, and 4 brand new Keystone Slotted Mags with 275 T/As all around! They were the serious rodders choice back then,everybody else was going for the Craiger SS. I had a 3-speed FMX auto tranny and a 9" posi with 3:43 gears. It pinned the speedo (120) @4700rpm and wound right up to 7000rpms. We would race 6 miles of remote interstate from Riverside, MO to Platte Woods, Topped out! I was smoking a 440 Charger, well....I was holding a 3-4 car lead on him when the left rear Mag let go! It cracked right through the slots! It launched the azz end of that Torino 10 feet in the air! The car came down spinning in a shower of sparks, I dont how many 360s I did but I was dizzy when it finally stopped! Never hit a rail or went off the 3 lane interstate! The tire and wheel was found the next day in a nursery (tree nursery!) 1/4 mile off the interstate, still aired up! Keystone gave me 4 new wheels and tires! I had to give them all of mine , but I was all for the replacements and too young and dumb to try and get any money out of them! "Those were the days!"
