Not Ranked
What a treasure chest of historical pics! Those must have been incredible times. I found this particularly interesting:
"The Walt Hangsen Memorial race for A and B production cars was established in his memory. The event was won by Ed Lowther, his first victory at Cumberland in 11 years. Driving a 427 Cobra, Ed also set a new lap record of 1:13 for production cars."
According to the photos there were many 289's still running that year ('68). Is there any more history on the performance of the 427's vs. the 289's in the same races? ( I was under the impression that a direct comparison was difficult because they never got to run against each other in the same races.)
