DING ! DING !

And we have a winner !

The Ford 427 Cammer was built to blow away the Hemi's on Nascar's big ovals like Daytona & Taladega but Bill France bowed to pressure from GM & Chrysler and banned Ford's Hemi Killer .

It was never a production engine, which was why it was never allowed to race. The HEMI and Rat motors were regular production engines. Even the Boss 429 was available, even if only in a Mustang. NASCAR demanded that what was raced was available to the public. That's also why Plymouth has to make enough Superbirds to match its dealer network.

Unlike today!!!

The winged Hemi cars & the Chevelle/Laguna were the cars that Nascar banned. Both because they were so dominant.

The Ford FE engine found its way into a few NHRA Fuel Dragsters after being turned away by Nascar.

Man ain't it the truth ! BORING as hell. You just know all the action is gonna be in the last 10 or 20 laps. And they always find some way to *****-up the ending of EVERY race. It was way better back when ESPN first started televising NASCAR . Back then it was mostly about the cars & not the drivers or the gate-mouth talkin heads they call announcers who NEVER SHUT-UP . Hell , I like to here the cars not blabber-mouthed hucksters .
They need to go back to what made them popular in the first place,like back in the day ! Production cars on pump gas , period !

NASCAR completely sucks, IMO. It was cool in the 60's and 70's because the cars on the track were actually versions of cars you could go into the dealership and buy. Who can forget guys like Fireball Roberts, Dan Gurney, and Richard Petty and most importantly, the cars they drove? Today it's nothing more than hype and endless babble from talking heads - just another form of canned "sports" entertainment pawned off on a lobotomized public. It exists solely for the massive revenues it generates and everything is carefully configured to safely achieve that end. "Toyota Camry"?? Give me a ruling. That about says it all.
