Talked with Angelo DeCarlo in Vegas yesterday. The 63 StingRay is the old Ault & James Modified car according to Angelo. I can tell you it is IMMACULATE ! Very straight and a beautiful bright RED ! He is on the qualified list at #20 @ 9.928 ET going into day two of qualifying tomorrow (Friday)

Wade, Little story about Angelo. He and I were pitTed next to each other a few years back at Indy. He came over and did a once over look at my 68 Corvette BB stocker. Straight faced as hell he told me " These old cars are worth a lot of money to be making race cars out of them. I looked at him and just shook my head, That car of his is BEAUTIFUL.

I have Jerry Arnold's old 60 Corvette that I am slowly restoring, Jerry was kind enough to dig up some old photos from the early 70's, he also included his final round wins & runner ups that he could remember, I thought the stats were impressive. The car is finally out of body shop prison so more to come on what it looks like now, thanks.......Doug Engels

Enclosed are picture of my 62 G/G Corvette that I raced in the 1970's.
It had 288 cu in sbc Nash 5 sp Mr Gasket Vertical gate shifter. Dana
with 6:50 and Sommers Bros spool and axles. I had a Motorola 12,000
rpm Tell Tale tach. The Tell Tale needle would be pinned past 12,000
rpm after each run. My best run was 10:12 @ 134.00 mph. I still have
my spare 40# Hays flywheel and 12 bolt long style pressure plate. I sold
the car turn key in 1978.
