I'm not sure if the 'KO-MOTION' Corvette was a true L-88 or converted from an L-71.

Also keep in mind that under the rules at the time, I could not get to minimum A weight.

Anyone feel free to message me with questions.

Scott, is that the same car that Mike Robinson ran as a 63 split window coupe in F/G?

Charlie, you realize that's not the same car??
This one is of Dwight Southerland's Corvette. There
were a few times that both cars were at the same event.
Dwight's Corvette was a "very nice" car and fast too!!

Know Dwight's car is not yours, therefore (big word where I live) it was set apart in a seperate post.

Since it was brought up in the discussion, I figured I'd post it up.

The "Ko-MOTION" Corvette was a converted car. NOT an original L-88. Still a piece of history. Its a shame he lost his life in Viet Nam along with thousands of other young Americans.
