Stites has won a $20K at Piedmont and a $10K at Motor Mile, in addition to a ton of smaller bracket races.

I was going to put Stites in my Turismo to run the NHRA circuit after he won his *second* NHRA Bracket Finals, but he backed out after NHRA in their infinite wisdom failed to set the hook by noting his Gold Card would not be honored at national or divisional races.

Sorry to hear about Steve Taylor, really nice guy when I met him last, ten years ago. Since I'm retiring I should think of moving south to attend these races. Micheal I came across one of your first blog or internet sites about building your first Car with the help of Billy Nees. Very informative. Claude

How many remember Steve Taylor running an A/S 396 66 or 67 Chevelle back in the early 70's?
