Re: Anyone Know "Too Costly"
 

A belated ‘thank you’for the info on ‘Too Costly’ and Eddie Vasquez...another mystery resolved.

Great to hear he has had a long and fulfilling life - I was worried he may have become a victim of conscription.

Thx all.

Re: Anyone Know "Too Costly"
 

Ok, so the mystery is "solved". Vasquez shows up and spanks all the heavy hitters as per NHRA rules. He doesn't call the shots. Takes the trophy with a very pretty girl on hand. This is the Winternats. What has a red Plymouth got anything to do with this as per post 5?

Looks to me like that's just in his signature section, not in the post itself.

Re: Anyone Know "Too Costly"
 

If that's your take, respectfully, Vasquez earned that pic, these cars aren't in the same zip code.

Re: Anyone Know "Too Costly"
 

It was a sig pic of my car. You should also note, I posted the pic of Vasquez receiving the trophy. Clearly your understanding of web forums is wanting...

As far as an RO23 ‘not being in the same zipcode’ - I think winning the 67 SS/B and SS/BA Nats, the SS/BA 67 Springnats and Top Stock at the 67 Springnats puts them in an infinitely more salubrious zip code than any JR STOCK Chevy....no matter how many divisional class races Jenkins may have won over street Hemis on bad tracks.

Ever wondered why his Chevy II NEVER won a Nationals eliminator?

I’ll tell you.....Because he couldnt make the HP to ward off the Race and Street Hemi cars on properly prepped tracks - ask Grotheer, Stahle and Vanke.
