Am I the only guy impressed by the way that big Belvedere runs?

Nope, I'm with you! It's bad *****! Jim

He's flogged that car for years and it's great to see him reap the rewards. Saw him run two weeks ago at Woodburn and today at Pacific and it's really working well. Good folks too!

I believe he ran a 9.19 at Mission last weekend and went to the finals in a bracket class. Jim and Marilyn are very nice folks and the car is way cool.

To the best of my knowledge, Jims Hemi is a factory 67 S/S (WO23?) race car. Jim has been running the car since the late 70`s, and still has ladder bars and leaf springs out back. It`s been a bumper dragging Div. 6 crowd favorite for decades. Like Dale said, Jim & Marilyn are super nice people, and are also key organizers of the Northwest Stock/Super Stock Association. It`s great to see the Isherwoods reaping the performance of Jims hard work the past few years.

'67 Plymouth RO23 and Dodge WO23 cars have always been a favorite of mine and it's great to see one run this well. There aren't many of these cars around anymore. Danny Smith and Dave LeClaire are the only others I know of.

Don't think so Phil. Pretty sure Jim built the motor. Jim's pockets aren't Barton deep...May have some Barton parts on it though.
