@mr1963chevyYour the one that needs to research a bit.In 1970 Cale Yarborough drove Fords 1970 King Cobra and it ran over 200mph and had no rear wing so it got loose and he backed off.I knew Bud Moore and talked to him about these cars.They are far superior to any thing Dodge,Plymouth or Chevrolet had.Chrysler and Chevrolet are the ones who were crying so NASCAR changed the rules so Ford couldnt build it.This was a typical tactic from them.Ford said piss on NASCAR and pulled out.

@Mr1963chevy you mean the chevelle laguna??

[Mr1963chevy]

@citydriver called the laguna,nascar always said that it was much more aerodynamic than the superbird or daytona.it was also outlawed buy nascar car cause the ford just couldnt keep up.if you dont believe me ,just resrearch it yourself.if you had been following nascar as long as i have then you would know about fords crying...we cant keep up with those gm bullets.dont forget to research it!!!

WOW! look at how many 429CJ Spoilers were there.

That is a '69 Dodge Daytona tow car. Not a '70 SuperBird.

My son, Scott Jennings, built his Superbird and was in your group at Taladega in Nov. 2009. How can I see his car on the track with the group?
