Ed, Larry sold that car decades ago...It sat in a garage in Massachusetts during that time.... When the owner passed a few years ago Larry was fortunate enough to buy the car back......

The 55 Q/SA had its first NHRA outing at the Indy Fall Classic over the weekend.Was fighting carb problems all weekend, but did put one good run together in the first round of Stock eliminations when I ran a 13.750 on a 13.75 dial, so I got the first round win out of the way.Ran 13.55 and 13.60 on the first test day,but after that couldn't run any faster than 13.75, with 60 foots going from low 1.80s to 1.90s.It was still fun, as the car got a lot of attention.Will work on it over the winter,and my goal next year is to set a record so I can get "National Record Holder" on the roof.Will have to seek out a class that the record has gone back to the minimum.If you look real close you might even see a little daylight under the left front.LOL
