Str8-8-Dave Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) All you American 60's muscle car fans- this is a very entertaining race at the 2022 Goodwood Revival. A big burly Ford Galaxie with a 427 and a front roll bar off a locomotive beat off all the Alfas, Cortinas, BMWs and Minis... Turn up your speakers and go full screen and enjoy...

Alex D. Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Lost interest in NASCAR 40+years ago. This is the most exciting race I have watched in a long time. Love that Ford Galaxie! Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did the big Fords, Plymouths, Chevys and Pontiacs go? Where did all those Toyotas come from? You can't tell one brand from the other to look at the bodies, Lee Iacocca would have said they are all "Potatoes with wheels"... Where did David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Richard Petty go? Does Junior Johnson still make that white lightning? Junior Johnson Pardoned by Ronald Reagan | NC DNCR (ncdcr.gov) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 The big 427 Galaxies have always been strong in British Saloon car racing. It's an odd class. Where else do 7 liter cars go door handle to door handle with a field of mostly 2 liter or sub 2 liter cars ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's amazing to see such a big car hustle like that! That Alfa driver was something else too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenie Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 How cheeky of the Red Alfa back marker to try to hold up the big Ford long enough to let the blue Alfa attempt a pass. The Galaxie wears North Carolina tags; I think that means there would have been paint swapped if the Alfa got close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look real closely at the front of the big Ford, the bar that you see hanging below the bumper is an anti-roll bar the diameter of a clothesline post. It must weigh 200lbs...

drhach Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 That was a good race for 2nd. The video started and I thought it would be the typical deal where they stretch their legs in the straights and then the little cars catch them in the corners. But that guy really held his ow thorough it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
