Re: Congratulations Dave and Ben Wenzel
Great win. Your car and that first win are both especially meaningful for me as well, because 1967 was my first trip out to the "Nationals" at Indy. 3 friends and myself drove out together from central Ma. for the Labor Day wknd event to watch a number of local friends compete.....what a great time! I was 21. 43 yrs ago....how time flies. Seeing the above pics of your car going down Indy Raceway Park track was like being put into a time machine....Thanks for bringing back some great memories.... Your name and that '67 Camaro are now legends in this sport, for sure....enjoy it.

Re: Congratulations Dave and Ben Wenzel
In 1967 at a points meet in Milan, Michigan, a kid with a Kodak camera was wandering through the pits when he spotted a brand new, really cool Z/28 Camaro headed for the staging lanes. Seeing that this kid was attempting to take a picture of the car as he was moving past him, a gracious, and rightfully proud Mr. Wenzel stopped the car and waited for the kid to take the picture. A quick wave of thanks and Mr. Wenzel was on his way. I'm not sure if that kid was more impressed with that moment or with the U.S. Nationals win later that year, but either way, some things just have a way of sticking with you. It was really good to see you guys get the win this past weekend. A big CONGRATS to Dave and Ben.... from the kid with the camera.
