You know as neat as that was it was a huge disservice to others in the class. D /D is a six cylinder class and folks that is a 12 cyl race car no matter how you slice it. I remember this well. My boss at the time Harry Wilson had run a record time with his 300 Ford six D/D. Two days later this car in your photo took the record . Harry was so mad he sold the car to a parade clown company and it took till last year to even get him to come to the drags again.
