Re: National Record Holders
Not sure How many, all together around 35 or so.
1976 to 1983 B/SA NHRA & IHRA a number of times (TK Power)
Artie and Ray would set it then I would reset it.. lol
Then came Super Stock,,, 427/430 (Bill Dejohn & Mike Keown Power)
SS/CA a few times then I ran into Butch Williams and Mike Heintz,,
I would set it and they would take it back.....I learned my 427 couldn't run with that 454 , lol
In 1989 or so I had MPR build me another Corvette,, BIG RED
this one for ss/ea an ss/fa 454/390 ( Tom Boucher power)
Then I ran into this Leon guy,,and buddy it was on ! (lol)
In the mist of all this Butch and I had words !
I had Matt Carifello/TK Build me another CA motor,,,
reset the CA record in March that year,,sold it to Dave Thomas and went back to the
454/390 . I have to say over the year's I had more fun and made alot of friends
that I'll never forget...............
