My National Open wins don't count for much and I've never entered a National Event.

Bret, who was the guy that piloted a similar version to my '86 Chevy Cavalier Z24 to a Stock Eliminator finish back in '86 at an I.H.R.A. national event. I remembered watching it on ESPN, and it was my inspiration for buying/racing a similar type of car (same original body color and type..notchback/coupe)? I digress that I taped over the video footage I once had of that car, because I think only a red-light start kept that driver from the winners circle, and it ran in the mid-16's...any help in rekindling that info would be greatly appreciated!
