1/25 Lindberg 1964 Dodge 330 Super Stock "Ramchargers" 72161 sealed
LIN 72161Match racing became the name of the game during the '64 season. That meant the altered-wheelbase A/FX car became the prime car, and the Super Stock car was relegated to the very few NHRA events and backup. The backup was necessary as Mancini booked us someplace every weekend, usually with multiple locations and occasionally he was able to book both cars. I more or less inherited the job of second driver upon Herman Mozer's retirement. I voted for me and no one received more votes. Thornton remained the primary driver, but with a second driver, he was able to spend a few weekends at home.
In early June the A/FX car beat Dyno Don three straight at Detroit Dragway, covering him by more than 0.2 seconds and over 1.5 mph. Match racing the A/FX car meant exclusive use of wide, 10-inch tires. As the season progressed the tires got better, and the use of rosin and burnouts became normal. The heavier standard-wheelbase Super Stock car more than held its own in match racing on wide tires.
