Ken Shawver lived in Defiance, Ohio. Later in life he worked tech for IHRA. His last drag car was a Pontiac super stocker running SS/ka. It was sold to a wonderful gentleman from Indiana who raced it for a few years before he unexpectedly passed away. The car now resides in Illinois and is raced occasionally by the current owner.

I spoke to Ken before the Covid outbreak. He seemed like a nice man.

You know Sammy Pizzolato won the 1988 Stock World Championship in one of those Olds.
