at G/SA weight, I don't know how he could have gotten that buick light enough to NEED to add weight. (and he is a thief?) I like that biscayne on the limited appearance you get from these photos

I noticed that the 400 pound spare tire is missing from Judy's car. Interesting story I, but at the time, I wondered how they were able to run that car in some of the lower SS classes. The spare, along with a little push from MOPAR in the shipping weights allowed the spare to work I guess.

Hi Al,
You're right!! If it wasn't a CHEVY vs. MOPAR war, it was at least a Denver area let's pick sides war. At the time Herman Chapman did Steve's brother Chuck's engines as well as alot of stuff that ran around good old TVD and Division V. Dennis Maurer of course did the Mopar stuff in the same areas. I pretty much did my own engines, but somehow, I suppose of the TVD connection, I was considered connected to Herman Chapman by CHEVY. The funny thing is, being kinda laid back, I didn't even know this feud was going on. As things went, Connie and I took the Chevelles to Indy in 1979; her SS/MA car and my SS/NA wagon. We were pitted a couple of spots down from Judy and Dennis, so we went over and talked with them a number of times. While sitting in their trailer having a pop, Judy pretty much surprised me by saying, "Don't you think you two are going to get in some trouble talking to us". I didn't have a clue what she was talking about, so my reply was, "Trouble for what"? Dennis then said, "Well you'll be in trouble with the Chevy GOD, Herman". I told him that Herman was just another friend, and I did my own stuff, so I guess I could talk to whomever I wanted to. But that was the FIRST I knew of the WAR you mentioned. By the way, we spent a lot of time there with Judy and Dennis the rest of the weekend, and no warheads fell because of it. And yea, that SS/CA car was a killer for it's time. When Judy set the record at TVD, I'd have to say that was the quickest leave I'd ever seen on one of those cars. No giant wheelie, but it carried the front wheels two feet in the air for 100 ft. or more. I can close my eyes and still see the run. Then if I remember correctly, they had a problem because Dennis was going to qualify the car on Sunday so he could drive it, and she was going to drive hers, but I don't remember how they resolved it.
