MY little claim to fame is. One Summit race I had John Calvert first round (he in his "It's Automatic" Mustang) I cut a light and ran a great package and put him on the trailer and that is hard to do  I met most of these Super Stock & Comp guys back when I worked for Bob.
I sold Big Red because (1) I got an offer I couldn't refuse from Austraila and (2) I want?? To go left and right LOL, I raced that car for 7 years, she was dead consistent and as long as I did my job it was hard to beat
I miss the comradery of my racing family, friends & the pit parties  As you've seen... There are a lot of very cool people here on Lat-G and some very impressive cars and builds ...even the Fords  
Here's what I got now to work with

You know it's got to be tough for guys like Calvert to get a win, everybody gets 'up' for guys like that-congrats on the feather in your cap!
Think how Big Daddy Don Garlits feels in his A/SA Dodge Chally,lol.
The racing family really is a great thing...today I was at a local track, the racing was fun and all but the laughs were the best. Ah, the story telling....
I gotta tell ya it is just crazy how fast bracket cars have become. Lots of low 4 second (1/8 mile) rails and plenty of low 5 second door cars. Fast, fast, fast.....some junior dragsters are as fast as my street/strip car
Your current ride looks great.....imo the first generation Camaro looks best in blue and I'm digging the stance and profile of your car. In another couple of years I'm going to give the Pro Touring thing a try, I'd love to have a classic camaro that drives like a new one-or better even.
