I guess another reminder is that back then in the day, it was all up to the driver to watch the tach and not over-rev. No chips back then. I suspect that not many of those guys really paid much attention to the tach in the heat of the battle, but maybe I'm wrong. Certainly a testament to the durablility when it was just hard parts, a good mechanic and driver. No ECU's, MSD's, limiters etc......
