[MR DERBY CITY]

The Heavy Hitter Chevelle is rich in history.Owned by Rob Robinson of Stark Street Pizza fame, I have been told Rob is a member of the softball hall of fame, hence The Heavy Hitter. When I met John Melvin he couldn't wait to show me the paint job on the Heavy Hitter. Hidden in the paint job a very talented painter or artist used the smallest brush in the world to depict a couple .....getting their groove on. LOL... John was very proud of the artwork. Sadly, years later John had a stroke and his racing days came to an end. John was quite a fierce competitor. The Emmons Brothers acquired the car and raced it occasionally although I couldn't tell which brother was driving the car at the time..LOL....My close friends from Horse Cave, Ky. ,The Forbes family then bought the car from the Emmons.After running it for years they traded the car to MR. Erwin in Ohio and I shortly lost track of the car. So nice to hear that The Heavy Hitter is back on the track.....Regards, M.J.
