As an aside, Tom currently owns the Dave Benisek/Doug Jones "Factory"GS stage 1 racecar as well. I think the Jason Line car was the fastest full weight 455 GS I ever remember seeing-what a car!
Tom had several Buicks at the same time. He did run the Appollo in NHRA and IHRA Top Stock if I remember correctly. That car was sold several years ago.

He has sold the Jones and Benisek Stage II car a few years ago.

He still has the Silver Stage I Car that he won Top Stock at Norwalk Ohio. I think that car is for sale. It has been very fast.

He has restored a Triple Black 455 GS with a four speed for the street.
He is currently restoring a 66 Nova with a 327 4 Speed combination.

Dave Benisek and his group are still doing their thing with a Buick Apollo at the annual Buick thing in Bowling Green. They pretty consistently win their class.

Thanks for the update, Robin! I have a large wheels up picture of that J&B car hanging on my living room wall, shot at Norwalk at the Buick raceday in May of 04. I was not aware Tom sold it, although I knew the Apollo had been sold. He certainly had the cream of the Buick racing crop for awhile there.......

There are a lot of fast Buick stockers with Jason probably leading the pack in C. As for fastest Buicks in F, its gotta be between Lenny Williams and John Osborne.

Nothing like a Buick stocker! Fast with class , and Tom Rix's stuff is always perfection at its best.
