Bennie doesn't live very far from me. I used to see him racing that car at Memphis Motorsports Park but haven't seen it lately.

Looks like one of the cars in Don Baskins collection of race cars he has at his shop in Tenn.

I think Glenn Young, who runs the "Tax Group" deal, could tell you. I can't remember if they had/have 1-2 Corvettes of that vintage.

i bought the corvette from glenn young (tax group). chucked rods thru oil pan on first burnout. kenny schindler fixed the motor and put it back together but i never raced it. traded to a guy in arizona for lt 1 stocker. that was back 2002 or 3 i think. like to know where some of my old cars .are at. of course jimmy bridges has my corvette, greg smith still has my ss/k chevy 2, getting it back out this year. coan had my f/ed. dont know about the rest. there was a lot of them. maybe gonna race a little this year maybe.

Okay, Tom, Noel's message pinned it down. That car is sitting in Phil Mandella's shop being prepped for a new career. It took a long time for all the blanks to be filled in but with patience, it all becomes clear.

The corvette will not be a class car. It will be a PSCA type car. It is still red.
