Good old Days, any of Dick Estevez's Cobra Jets. A one point, held the SS/EA and SS/FA records with the '68 light weight and the SS/GA and SS/HA record with the '69 Blue convertible. Also, prior to that, held the SS/H and SS/I records with the '69 Red convertible.

The 68 Lite wt. of Dicks was Al Joniac's 68 Winternationals winning car. Dick still had the title in Als name when he was racing it before old race cars became expensive collector cars. I used to travel with those guys (Dick and Alfred) and Jim Morgan a lot back then. I helped do some work (cylinder heads) on all 3 cars back in the day and helped in tear downs after class wins and records. It was a fun time and "stuff" and life was simpler. Great memories and great friends. On a sad note Dicks wife passed away last winter and she was one in a million. It wasnt the same seeing Dick at the York reunion this year without her.
