If it's a Chevy II , it's got more wrong with it than the taillights .

That's Clark's old car. He raced it forever so if something wrong its been wrong for years.

I also caught Evan Smith taking Anthony Bongiovanni's Cobra Jet to tech, Evan is not driving, he is here covering the event. The white COPO is Gary Wolkwitz new ride built and driven by David Barton, it will definitely be a car to watch in the showdown.

Ken, I believe the Wolkwitz COPO Camaro had the chassis work done by a well know shop in Indiana.

I realize that, Ed, ...and also that Clark raced it as both a 69 Nova, and a 68 Chevy II , at times.

noticed that Jeff Taylor is driving a stick car in stock, don't know if I have ever seen Jeff listed as driving a stick car. Maybe in comp ? Good to see Jeff on the dark side.

Stock first round ladder is out with several notable matchups

With only 2 E/S cars on the property they managed to find each other - Gary Russell and Casey Miles will meet heads up.

Old and new - Anthony Bongiovanni- FS/XX Cobra Jet and Bruce Noland AA/SA big block Corvette will tangle in round one.

Another heads up - C/SA -Johnson and Barnes will meet

Mickey Whaley in his big block '69 Camaro ragtop C/SA will send out Tolson in his lumbering U/SA wagon .

Another long headstart going to Summers in his U/SA with Wilkes chasing in his A/SA

Well, funny story. I love American blues and when I wrote that I almost included an Elmore James reference then I thought, "Nah, most of them won't get it."

Apologies for underestimating the cultural astuteness of the Class Racer faithful.

On a side note, I lived in Gainesville many years ago and one of the highlights was sitting next to Bo Diddley on a flight from Dallas. Fascinating, funny guy.

Anyway, hoping for a sunnier blues free day tomorrow.
