WOW, that's when stock car racing was real, not like the crap they have
today. One question I have is how did the Fords do so well when Y-Block
312's had such crappy oiling systems? I'm not saying it to be derogatory but
it's a know fact that Y-blocks in general had poor oiling, were they modified
for racing? Anyone out there have an answer?

L ForwardLook Members,
If you want to watch a great Grand National Race click below to watch the 1956
Southern 500 race.
Watch for the Chrysler
300's Plymouth Fury's and Dodge D 500's in the race. Chrysler did not win
because of time spent changing tires because the heavy Chrysler 300's
really when through tires. See the Plymouth Fury Pace Car!!!! The Plymouth
Fury's had 240 HP painted on their hoods which meant they were running
1/4 bbl carburetor.Ford and Mercury were running dual carburetors in this
race.
