This is the former Modified with Bud Yancer as engine builder. Bud is my engine builder. They had the car at Indy when NHRA killed the class.
They used to race the car at the now defunct Phoenix Raceway Park (renamed Speed World) and I used to stand behind the car and watch that Moroso mechanical tach bury itself on the launch and pull the front wheels maybe 6" off the ground on launch and into second and even third. I think it was 288 CID in E/MP? I need to ask him tomorrow. This car had more influence on me having a race car than any 100 cars combined.
This class seemed very popular.
Never understood why it was killed?
I thought it brought in fans with the high rpm sound.

Im pretty sure the Christian-Sullivan -Ciccone Record holding Vette was sold to a local bracket racer who ran it at the Chicago area tracks thru the early 80s.What happened to it after that is a good question.I was at a small Indiana track back in the 90s and i thought i saw it there.I questioned the driver about the car and he told me it was not the Christian car.I will try to find out more info on what happened to it.I have a friend that may know.Im thinking the guy that had it was named Clint Smith.No relation to me.

Lyn I think you are on the right track. Knowing the both of you I didn't think you were related as you have raced those buicks forever and I think Clint only raced Chevrolets.

Anyone remember a pale yellow 66 Vette named Electric Banana? Dave Otsby owned the car and raced out of Louisville, KY.
