The last I heard about the car was a blurb in the National Dragster after Steve sold it, that the tech people in what ever division it went to should be watching for it.
And there you have it

Dave Schmitz

Dave is not that the car that was totallly acid dipped and deemed not legal at the time ?

IMHO the coolest car Butch ever had. I saw it at the '74 Springnationals in Columbus. I believe he was trying out a french 4 speed that was supposed to be bulletproof. He broke it. Here's a couple of pictures from that race. I was 26 at the time.
