this is it. I can still remember it before it was painted. It was raced at US 131 Dragway a lot. I don't remember what year it was, I THINK it was the December of 1968 when my big brother and I drove to Muskegon to talk to Dave. I found out Dave was going to Pomona. I told him how much I liked how that small block sounded with the fenderwell headers so we went out in the garage, he hooked up the battery and fired her up. WOW. I was hoping he needed a free crew member at the Winternationals, but was told the ramp truck had bucket seats and there were only two..........
Doug Kahl was a weekly regular at US 131 at the same time. Other favorites are the Monster Mash 55 and anything by Jere Stahl. Chevair (spelling ?) had three or four other drag cars at US 131 every week, including Don Holben's mentor Dick Griffin.

My ride at that time was a low budget 56 wagon 225 horse stocker and then switched to a 65 Impala 327 -250 hp 4 speed that was a fun ride.
