1976, dang dude, how old are you anyway, LOL. I was probably in 6th grade back then.

Bobby,

I was just a punk freshmen in high school when this came out. I saw a note in National Dragster the other day about this and asked Phil Burgess if he had a copy, which he forwarded to me. I never saw Shepherd wind through a five speed in the Vette but later on when he was driving the Shioleno & Colemen (sp) G/MP Camaro. Seems like I always missed RMS when they would come to Eastex Dragway for those monthly Modified meets.

Sorry Longbob but I had to reduce it in size just to post it. If anyone wants a copy through e-mail, send me your e-mail address. You can read it much better there.

I'm guessing Tony Christian, Don Coonce or Larry Kopp...

Tony Christian bought the car from Lee and was very succesful with it.I think he won 3 or 4 National events with it in the late 70's.Engines came from Gary Brown racing in Morton Grove,Il.
