Pat....Since you race that N.E.T.O. deal, you know Tony Feil.......I worked in his shop in the mid 60's for a while and we all raced out of his shop. Tony raced a lot of different Gassers and /MP cars. I also raced with Dennis Siderko in the late 70's early 80's and we worked together at Crow's Head Shop. His C/SM Camaro ran pretty well and was pretty much the shop demo car for engine work.....The owner was Bill Crowley....he also worked for Tony Feil going all the way back to when Tony started in Hanover.......I think we ran 10.42 at the SummerNat'ls one year. Dennis bought Roger Whites Nova around 1980 and never could get that car to work as well as the Camaro....

This is me in the final round at Indy 1974 aganist my good friend Tim McDonald,who won D/MP, he had a bad back and I had to push his car thru tech for him because of a dirt bike accident days before and he almost didn't go. Good thing he did as he went on to win Modified Elim on Monday and set the record down.At this event there was the largest number of class entries in history,52, and I doubt if this has been topped to this day or even come close. Those days class was like winning Eliminator today. Bob Hiner did both of our motors and he was standing behind us in the middle of the track because he told me he didn't want to cheer for either because we were both friends. Bob passed away a couple years ago and was a great guy and motor man. This was a four Link coil spring rear that Arlen Vanke and Dick Lowery did for me and Tim's was a 4 link. NHRA Outlawed the coil springs for 1975 and I sold the car and didn't race an NHRA event until Indy 2008 and went down to 5 cars in SG went a few rounds in SC so that was like drugs to an addict but not close to the thrill of heads up DMP. I miss it but Have a new Pro Mod ADRL nitrous car my son will race in the ADRL and that is fun and I have ran one of their events already and loved it. I would trade both of my .90 cars today for a good Comp car and try it one more time.
