The 1970 Barracuda that Chad Langdon races today was originally put
together and started being raced in about 1979/1980 by his brother John.

That's about 37 years or so.

The wagon I have has been a race car since 1970.

Great, Rich...but not the subject of this thread.
I believe the Wenzel Camaro ran SS/J car in 72-73, BTW
Someone please let me know if that is not correct.

I`d bet Bill O`Connor`s Omni setup is pretty similar to when it first hit the track!

For those who don't know the car, I keep my 69 Camaro Z/28 street legal registered and insured with full exhaust out the back (turn signals, radio and wipers all work the way from the factory) so if I want to take it for a ride I can. When I was in New York, Friday night, I drove into the Bellmore train station for s**ts and grins. Engine, trans and gear ratio change, it could be a daily driver again. LOL!
