Back in 1986, a friend and I (Bob Kelly, one of the first bracket "national champions" and father of 2008 Pro Bracket National Champion Steve Kelly) did something similar. We were both tight on money but wanted to race the Boise Bracketeer race. Bob had a low 13-second '67 Chevelle, and just finished an identical-appearing pro-bracket '67 Chevelle which ran mid 10's. Both were gorgeous, show-quality cars. I offered to split gas money, so we welded a hitch onto the street Chevelle and towed the race car with it (from Portland area out to Boise). It was quite a sight. Wish I had taken pictures.
