DESCRIPTION:
7 things to think about during a dragstrip race. Thinking time: 12 seconds.
On paper, dragstrip racing — America’s latest million-fan sport — might seem to be just a question of pressing down hard and steering straight.
Run down a quarter-mile straightaway, it’s all over in a matter of seconds. But a driver has a lot to think about. Fast.
Like: keep car in low gear, clutch in, rev engine, concentrate on Starting Light. Yellow, Yellow, Yellow. Green — Go.
Half-throttle off the line. Feed in the clutch. Don’t “break loose.”
Push the pedal to the pavement.
Listen to the engine and exhaust. Watch the tach. Feel the push against my back. Stab the clutch, pull the gear lever hard into second.
Watch that tach. There. The tires are getting a bite now — 6500 RPM already — stab the clutch and jam the gear lever into third.
Watch that tach — last shift into high.
Finish line ahead. Break the beam. Elapsed time of run: under 12 seconds.
Winner: probably a car from Chrysler Corporation. Chrysler Corporation cars have a fabulous record in drag-strip racing. (A cleansweep in the recent national championships.) Testament to the drivers’ skill. And to the excellence of Chrysler engineering, developed over years of research and testing. Demonstrated by our 1964 cars that handle easier, respond faster, and deliver better in every way.

Some days you win. Some days you lose.
The fortunes on the straight and narrow warpath change as quickly as the gears in the go-box! Today you tear 'em up. Tomorrow is another day. Your machine has got to be mean ... you've got to be good ... and you've got to come out of the hole with more togetherness than Amos and Andy! That's the drama of the drag strip, man and machine.
That’s why more than 100,000 buffs bulged the track at Indy for the NHRA’s big showdown — the world championships.
And what a showdown! On Saturday, Jim Thornton in a '63 Dodge downed his Ramcharger teammate, Herman Mozer, on his
way to royalty in the Super Stock Automatic Class. Next day, running for the meet's most coveted honor — Top Stock Eliminator — Mozer turned the tables and gave Thornton the thumb. But the event was far from over. Mozer still had to face the present “Mr. Eliminator," Al Eckstrand in Lawman, another specially equipped '63 Dodge. And another winner is defeated. Mozer edged him by 1/100th of a second with an e.t. of 12.22.
Some days you win. Some days you lose. That’s what keeps the quarter-mile jaunt so interesting. But have you noticed? When a Dodge loses these days... it's to another Dodge.
Hot Dodge
YOUNG-HO DODGE!
A torrid near chapter for our current best seller
Street, strip or showroom — Dodge is a winner. The stock-bodied Dodge Charger above is the latest example. It's the world's fastest full-bodied stocker, with 850-900 supercharged horses supplying the power.
Dodge celebrates its Golden Anniversary this year. (Sales are up almost 30% over last year's, making '64 the best selling year in our 50-year history.)
Yet Dodge is more youthful than ever. Always experimenting. Looking for the action. And finding it. From the Daytona tri-oval — where a Dodge Hemi-Charger powered to the fastest 100 miles ever driven, 170.77 mph — to Tucson Dragway — where a Dodge Charger set a new S/FX record of 135.33 mph in the quarter-mile.
That's the Dodge spirit. . . Young-Ho! It swings. Try it yourself.
