I have been beat up by the Jewell family....both Larry and Jeff in those two Corvettes sent me to the trailer bracket racing .......

Both are good drivers with good cars that have a lot of history and do very well.....

Back in those days when we saw a car nearing the staging lanes, that car was next to go down the lane, and there was seldom anyone lagging back because we did shut the lanes off after a given time.

After the Hemis were all lined up behind Bernie, the drivers met in a group at the rear of the lanes and started walking down toward Bernie's car at the front of the lane. Bernie saw them coming and closed his hood. He met them at the rear of his car and told them to stay away from his car or he would "set the record down so far that there would not be a Hemi that could touch it." Needless to say the guys all went back to there cars and left Bernie alone.

When you mention SS Vette,it always reminds me of the candy red Vette of the Stealy family. Won a lot at the Mie Highs. Also love the beautiful new Vette of Doug Engles.
