One of my first drag racing experiences was with a guy named Pat Warner out of Greenwood Indiana running a C/mp 67 Camaro. Went to the Nationals with him in 74 or 75. He let me drive the car to the staging lanes once. I remember seeing the Ault and James Gasser split window pitted near us and thinking, "that is what a race car should be..." High strung small blocks and five speeds, I do miss those days. Later he helped me put the Dana under the Camaro in my avatar, the goal was to run modified some day... Wish I had a picture of that old camaro in action. here is the Ault and james car.

I went with my partner to the track a few times with some guys running a D/MCP 2 liter Pinto, naturally asperated, well over ten thousand RPM shift points, and As I recal a doug nash with a 3.25 first gear and a 6.0 rear end... I have a video of it on VHS if I can ever figure how to digitalize it.
