TJ used the EZ name thru the '78 season, then changed it to "Born Again". One pic below shows her blasting off at I-20 Dragway in Tyler, Texas, in '79.

The other pic shows her '67 Bird which ran a best of 11.82 in '88. Beginning around '76 into '77, all the local tracks we ran switched to bracket only, with very few exceptions. They did have an IHRA points race in Tyler in '78. But they also ran a 16 car bracket field at that race. TJ won it from the #16 position.
