![]() I don't know Tom or Ruth personally but I feel like I do. I saw them race many times at Edgewater and Columbus in the late 1970's

OK, this could be cool.
A lot of racers have meet and had great encounters with the wonderful Kasch's over the years. They have, obviously, been true CLASS racers for a long time and it's time to talk about your first, if not your favorite meeting with them. Mine is from the '95 Mopar Nationals in Englishtown, the year I traveled with me class c motorhome and 26' enclosed and I did all the National events. I'm miles away from home (California) and I'm goin rounds, it's hotter than Whaleys' underwear and just as wet with the humidity. Luckily, I'm pitted close to the staging lanes on the right side of the track under the only tree around. The D1 crew are circling, I'm by myself. Tom and Ruth come by and start helping me cool down, charge up and get ready for the next round without a blink of my eye. What did I know, never meet 'em before but there they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As it turns out I kicked the D1 enforcers/mentors driver's butt in the semi's (you know who you are LOL) The whole time the Kasch's hung back ready for me to come back with water and support. Then it was all I could do to literally force them into the winners circle pic. with me and Gruber from Valvoline. True people here my friends!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunatly, that's when I meet Fletchburger, cause he won SS. LOL Damn it, that just reminded me of the trip into town with those mentally re-tarted Canadian group headed by the infamous Jim Morrison in his motorhome. What a great night we had, lets go devils, lets go devils !!!!!!!!! Then I got stuck on the fence trying to get back into the track, plastered (#@*^%$%(%(*&) AHH the GOOD TIMES !!

Well maybe it's time that I let Mr. Kasch chime in here and tell the rest of the story on this 68 396 Camaro...perhaps he can start off by telling us where he bought the car from originally and how much he paid for it...were his plans to turn it into a Super Stocker from day one or not...I also hope he can tell us all about the cars history, the races and class wins that it won the years it was on the track...and last but not least it's current state, did he restore it back to day one or day two condition. - HM.

C'mon back to the east coast and we'll do that again! Of course, we're older now, this time we might not survive it....... But back on topic now: I haven't met Tom or Ruth in person yet but have had the pleasure of corresponding with Tom for some time now via email. He's a wealth of knowledge about SS racing in the '70s-90s and has helped me quite a bit in researching my old Camaro. He is certainly a class act, as is Ruth, and I look forward to meeting them sometime soon. |
