Daryl,

Are you sure you didn't mean 'Pete Preston'.

He was a pretty good racer back in the mid-late 60's.

He set the 1967 C/SA National Record with his 1962
Plymouth 'Sport Fury' {361/305 HP} lettered 'Heartbreaker II"

This one showed up on the Byron / Rockford Dragway Facebook page this afternoon. Appears to have been taken during a 1973 points meet there.

The Jack Thomas/ Dick Towers LO23. For those that didn't know Dick was instrumental in putting together the all time greatest All Hemi Reunion in 2008. None were finer before. never to be equalled. I echo Marfen's statement. I miss that guy. A quick story on Dick. .... For this reunion in 08 he asked me to look after his Dart for the weekend as he was kinda "occupied" with the show. I was truly honored to be handed this "job". A GREAT, GREAT man , that absolutely lived for these lightweight cars. RIP my friend

For those in the "I didn't know that" catagory. The little white Dart above is my buddy from next province over, Dave McDade. One of the 3 current residing LO23's in Canada. This ones an original stick car to boot. Dave painstakingly did the footwork in tracing it's roots & found them. The result is below. Love that car D!!!! Sorry for the small pic. I can't find a full size of it....Hint,Hint, Hint
