Re: Mopars Ray Allen Killer
I heard this very same story from Ray Allen a few years ago. He also told me the Mopar camp held there own "Mini Nationals" prior to Indy just to make sure only the top Mopars dominated at the Nationals. Geoff Stunkard wrote a great article in Mopar Performance magazine on this topic a few years ago. He interviewed Jack Werst for the story. Check out my Ray Allen Tribute webpages by clicking on my profile. Maybe Belair can post a direct link?

Re: Mopars Ray Allen Killer
Incredible story and history. What a sight it would be to pair these two up against each other once again.

All the factory backed Ford racers took there cars to the Indy dealership for engine "updates", trans and rearend changes. Ford also had their own "mini nationals" at a nearby dragstrip and the factory brass decided what big name driver got what car, who would run who if possible, and who would "red light" if they had enough points to get into the eliminator race, even though they hadnt won their class. Lots of sneaky stuff going on in all the S/S race camps.
