Wade O.....

First of all.......... your car is immaculate!
I didn't know it was yours ... or..... I would have stopped by to say Hi at Indy.

Second..... that is a great picture of my father's camaro (sheehan bros) at Indy (against herbies hugger).

Quick story about that race........... My father holeshot'ed Barry Desalve in the Herbie's Hugger camaro that round. We were finishing class elims the next day (for some reason I can't remember why they ran next day). We were scheduled to run Ralph Fisher and his 69 camaro in the class final. We had Ralph covered by 2 tenths.
Barry Desalve's father (Herb) was so mad we beat his son, that he pulled his motor out of his car and put it into Ralphs car for the next day's final. My father again treed his opponent (ralph - with herb's motor) and had him until half track. To this day I can remember him looking over his shoulder for Ralph while he was "missing" high gear. Ralph nipped him at the finish line.

Thanks for the memories Wade-O!!!!!
