When I raced in NSS there were at least two real thunderbolts racing, so you might get in touch with them to see if any of them are still around....just google NSS.

![]() Not class legal but still impressive. It still runs the same rear suspension installed by DST in 1964 (converted to a floater). Column shift and untubbed. It is a "real" T-bolt too!!! ![]()

Since the ZL-1 and '68 SS/AH thread are going so well I thought I'd bring this back from the dead. Anyone have any Thunderbolt info they would like to share?

Ray Smith and Dallas Kelly raced this T-Bolt for 25 years and I am told Dallas still has it.

The ones I most remember "in the day" were Hayden Proffitt, Butch Leal, Gas Rhonda (from the West Coast), Hubert Platt (from the South) and Bill Lawton (from the NE).
