Mike I was born in michigan and lived there until 1982. My dad raced for about thirty years at mostly the old tri-city raceway,central michigan(mid-michigan now I think) and Ubly. One of my best memories was at central one year(I don't remember exactly) you guys were there with the 68 checkmate camaro. I think you ran D/MP. That small block was SINGIN' on the starting line. There was a A/MP 69 camaro there a you guys were outrunning it with a D car. Awesome. My old man said he thought your engines were built by diamond engineering back then. He wasn't sure. Oh yea you guys went to the final that dayonly the LEAVE the ring and pinion at the starting line.Great stuff.
