We become friends with Paul Rossi in 77 and he got us a deal to build a 79 Ply roadrunner for SS/Ma or NA with the wt. in
1st NHRA meet 1979 INDY Nationals was class runner up to Joe warnes.
Next time to a national was the 1980 Gators, was again in class final vs Joe & he won again as he had me covered by .04. Last NHRA class final I was in with a SS car, but did win IHRA class 4 x and set the nhra 1/8 mile & iHRA 1/8 & 1/4 mile records.
Was also the last SS season champ at Milan Dragway in 81 after that they didn't run for a season champion again.
Best E.T. 12.17 & MPH 111
With a Koffels Place engine we bought when he started his shop in 1981.
In 83 had to have my knee operated on, so I knew I couldn't race the volare and Ruth said why don't I run our street car a 80 omni in stock class, so we did .Drove it there 1st INDY class win after trying for 11yrs in SS, next 20 yrs was in every INDY class final with 5 different cars.
