Thanks for posting the photos......Just a slight correction.....Denny Fitch owned the car....I drove it......Denny made the car "fly".....I was hard on parts.....LOL...I seemed to think I should launch at 6 grand.... The photo with the trophy and check was for a Super Stock win at Cornhusker Raceway Park......we beat the 65 Chevelle of Eddie Rezac in the final.... The car was a rocket ship....with a better transmission, other than a 2.54 low gear Muncie, and a lower low gear, who knows how fast it would have been????? The car ran a huge MPH for the time.

Got some really cool news. Just found out that a car that was thought to be gone forever has resurfaced. The TENSION 57, raced by Don Stevenson in the mid to late 60s. Is in Denision Iowa. Tony Beam of Denision has had the car for the better part of 10 year's. however he only found out about the history of his car a short time ago. He was in the process of restoring the car to stock condition but he has shifted direction and the car will be restored to as raced in the late 60s. Great news TENSION will be at Old Geezers show & go next weekend. It will not be finished but will be in the show. Also got to chat with the owner of Inbomber 57, he might be interested in bringing back the car for next years Geezers, This would be awesome to see both cars go down the track side by side
