My Dad and I named our 1st drag car "Frustration" also. A '60 Impala w/ a 348, and a powerglide. We had a lot of fun, but it was all a learning experience too, hence the name. Non-related but still a good story: In the fall of 1969 a guy named Roy Crandall showed up to the Cicero,NY
strip with a new Factory S/S AMX. It was very fast, but He missed a shift
& blew the engine in the final of S/S. The next spring he returned and had "2nd Attempt" painted on the doors. The car was pretty cool to me as a diehard 17 year old Chevy kid back then.
Stay safe everyone, and God Bless.
