I've got lots of stories if ya want more...lol

The Polack you're referring to is Duane "Smiley" Jazynka. He's still building engines for lots of local guys in Omaha and still racing occasionally with his former G/G '62 Vette. Runs it just like he did in the 70s, with a Nash 5-speed...he told me, "the rev limiter is the carburetor."
10 grand and dump the clutch! The only major difference is he now runs a 355 instead of a 287 incher. Fun guy with unlimited stories! Here's a shot of Duane at I29 Dragway a year or two ago:

There was a Hann Bros. car as I recall. And Bob Hann rings a bell, but not certain.

There was also a small block (327) powered, black Anglia run at the old Omaha Dragway. Owned by Jay Wolf...driven by Gordon Smiley (the same guy killed at Indy 500 practice a few years later)

No idea if it's the same car. (any black paint under the paint layers on the car?)
