You're the boss, Paul.
For those who missed it, I had posted a vintage photo of ex-Funny Car racer Gary Dyer's Romeo Palamides-built Pro Stock Hemi Dodge Colt. As was the common custom at drag races of that era, there was a young hottie who's job it was to stay with the car for photo ops, and unfortunately she was a more prominent feature of the photo than the 1972 Colt.
If she had stayed in the kitchen where she belonged, everyone could have enjoyed the photo.
For those who do not know, due to it's power to weight ratio and high center of gravity, a great many of the Colts wrecked. In fact, the Hemi Colt was outlawed by NHRA for legal Pro Stock, so racers had to race in IHRA, UDRA, or NHRA A/A, B/A, or A/FX.
Dyer's car was equipped with a 366" Hemi to run an 8.72 @ 155.87.
8.72 in a door-slammer.
For reference, here is a generic 1972 Dodge Colt.
Imagine it with a hemi, traveling at 155mph in the quarter.
