Still adrift

Saw the recent B-J auction and the high seller was a
'53 Buick F-85; close to three Million bones. They
were talking to a guy with a 440 'Cuda and the topic
of Tim Allen came up.
The guy said that he prefers the 440 over Allens Hemi
for several reasons. He also mentioned that he used to
race Allens Hemi out at Woodburn Drag strip and beat
it every time with the 440.
Does anyone know if Allen ran at Woodurn or not? That
is my old haunt from "the day" when I ran my 390
Gremlin. Did I hear right or was I mistaken. When they
start to justify paying that kind of green
($3,ooo,ooo, count the zeros kids), I tend to drift off......Russ

Is up down and back ahead in AMC's world?

The "'53 Buick F-85" was a '54 Olds F-88:

and that "440 guy" was Allen.  His quote: 

"Stupid, never liked them. I used to race them on Woodward when I was a kid.
That was my era. The 440 would run around the Hemi anyway. It was a faster
car, plus I think they drive like crap anyhow."

Geez, Louise, don't make AMC fans look confuz-ed.

And pleeze don't make Nash turn rpms in his tomb.
