Re: Ol' Fart's Firebird Fantasy
Another thing I did was go to Stock Eliminator races, being either Divisional, National or Stock/Super Stock combo event (Like ASRA around here) and look for cars running your body style and/pr combo. If the owner don't mind just look underneath or at car. That's how I got ideas to work I needed to do on frame. Sam Murray's stick shift Olds 442 is a good example for me. Also if you want to golf hang out with golfers, I always wanted to build and race a Stocker so I hung out with Class racers. Jimi Vignogna and his dad Lou helped me tremendously. Pate Henneberry, Joe Huestis and Clem Lachance others. Lou V was really happy with the power my 396-325 HP BBC was making as I was running higher MPH every week. He said if I go over 115 MPH he will sell all his Chrysler stuff and run Chevies.Should have seen his face when the following week I showed him a ET slip reading 117.11 MPH LOL Plus the help and support from Johnny Williams -RIP Coolest people in the world!
I personally looking forward being back out there this year Lord willing.
