I saw this car in the pits (near staging lanes entrance) with Frank and crew doing work on the engine before first qualifying session on Friday afternoon at the 1981(?) Summernationals in Englishtown, NJ.

Yes it did. I know that Joe Roy drove it when the car was still a Pro Stock but that didn't last too long. Rene Lessard bought it, I don't know what year that was, made a couple of passes and put it away for some years. I bought it in 1993, had it rebuilted with a new rear frame and a new cage. I raced it from 1995 to 1999, won a few races, Ran 8.77-153 best, with a cast iron heads 446c.i., then I sold it to a guy from Regina sask. It hasn't changed much since. I haven't talked to the current owner for the past two years but I think he is still racing it. I don't know how to post pics. Sorry.
