Bruce... I raced there in 1967 when that track was the headquarters for the short lived NASCAR sanction.... I too was in awe of the high caliber Ohio cars......especially a 1960 Pontiac called `Ol Rumble Guts`....363 hp and a 4 speed, owned and driven by Ron Hutter......Ron had a little dyno shop in Chardon, OH......I was so impressed with his car that I took my `50 Olds stocker to him......That guy worked on my car all day for $ 40......After about a dozen dyno pulls and trying a number of different things, he managed to pull 4 tenths out of it.....To this day he ranks very high on my hero list.........
