Anyone race a 54-62 Corvette in Stock or S/S

[Stick driver]

Hey Wade: Ron McHugh
Raced a 61 SS/MA that I bought from Ed Ellison who was Ligenfelter's $ man in the days around 84-85. Will send you a picture. George Cox was thinking about buying the car from me when I had to sell it in divorce. Car was impossibly trick being that Ligenfelter had built it for Ellison-engine set back , some odd wheelbase anomalies, etc. Had an ATI trans-brake and it left like a stick car. Car flew when we finally stayed with the Rochester vs the Carter. (Both available in 61 (4GC vs. WCFB) It was a 283/230. Don't know why Chevy had changed the HP for 61 but it was basically same motor as 283/220 Power Pack. Went to the semi-finals around 85-86 with it at the Dutch Classic at Maple Grove.

Best memory of that race was one of the SS/BA Hemi cars trying to run me down after what was nearly a 4 second spot. Couldn't see him coming with the stupid little dash mirror but sure could hear him at about 112 MPH vs the 140 MPH closing speed.

Next time you are in Alexandria call me and will show you some pix. Never have figured out how to post here. Last I heard the car was still in Wisc. as a bracket car
