Thought I should add that
re copy I just sent re the 300C part
of the story
- there are plenty of 'more expert 300
people' in the Club - however the copy
re Daytona and subsequent NHRA actions
etc, I fairly sure 100% correct - it
based on multiple confirming reporting
in mainstream magazines/drag
publications etc, of those times.
And 1957 Daytona 'loose sand
conditions' I believe was a major push
in finally building the banked Daytona
oval, which then soon saw the end to
running on the Beach;
Only points it may pay to confirm is
re the 390hp 300Cs - I believe they
came with 4 bolt exhaust manifolds,
but others more expert correct me if I
wrong - and if anyone wish, re the
special tires on 300Cs, they could be
called/describede by their formal
name/brand, plus also that I think
they were then claimed as something
like 'world's largest production
tire'?! - but am I wrong there?!
- but all this is maybe too much
detail when there are all the other
worthy 300s to cover/include?!
Hope some/parts of it some use if
anyone has time to edit it
