Re: Your Race Car.... Then and Now
Started racing the car in Stock in 1973, bought it late 1970. In 1982 after Indy I took the car home and restored it back to street again. Then I brought the car down to Florida in 1992 and starting racing it again in Stock and now to present time. Set the NHRA record in F/S in 1974, 78 and 79 I think. Too old to really remember the exact years. I still keep the completely street legal with full exhaust and even the radio and wipers work.
Casey Miles 248H Stock BTW, Jim Schaechter gave me the opportunity to race his car, it's all THAT! Last edited by Casey Miles; 10-30-2017 at 04:23 PM. Reason: grammar |

Re: Your Race Car.... Then and Now
Kevin, neat story! I didn't know that was Joe Scott's old car! I heard the story was that he gave the car to the paint shop and said, "Do whatever you want", and that's how it came back... probably wasn't the "whatever" he had in mind! LOL
I was walking to the concession stand at Beaver Springs one day and Joe was sitting at the end of his trailer and called out, "Hey kid! You wanna drive a Super Stocker?" Never did know if he was being serious. I probably missed a lot of opportunities from being shy back in the day.  Doh!
