Anne,

Charlie Sr. is still around, he will be 90 in May. Charlie Jr. lives in Olney, MD and has not been involved in racing for at least 25 years.

When I saw this photo of Charlie's Camaro, and the Olds, I thought of the trip to Bowling Green around 1973. The Olds had a 455 and TH400 trans, which lost high gear only 30 miles from home. Being the die-hard racers that they were, they drove from MD to KY and back with only 1st & 2nd gear. Good thing gas was cheap!

Tom,

Just found this one a couple days ago from the 1985 Super Stock Nationals.
