Ever wonder why Hemi’s have never been run at Indy? After seeing the car run in practice and literally smoke everybody else who showed up in Miller/Offy’s some “concerned” official reported seeing Tony adding nitromethane to the fuel of their car before practice runs (which he was doing but he swore no one ever saw him do it) - problem was, everybody’s eyes watered up real bad when they hit the ignition. The car ran great in the straights but in the corners they had oil starvation - which they somehow never figured on to be as big a problem as it was. Anyway, according to them, the car was black flagged after a few days and the rules were changed to forever outlaw the particulars of a Hemi cylinder head design as well as overall engine displacement.
Naw, they couldn’t beat the 427 Fords.
