It's great to see that Dave's got his original car back. You just don't have that happening too often now. And he's running it!!!!! KUDDO'S to him!!!!!! People have forgotten why they built these cars to begin with. yes, they're a rare piece of racing, & yes, they are expensive BUT they certainly weren't built to sit in museums. I think it's an unjustice not to show the public what the fastest production American cars are capable of.
I drive my original LO car on the street as much as I can, & it does frequent the race track on occasion,
