Re: Who has raced the same car the longest time
How about Jerry Stein and his 63 Max Wedge "Teacher's Pet"?

Re: Who has raced the same car the longest time
We can't forget Dave Lebrun and his national event winning / record holding 69 Camaro . I may be wrong , but I believe he has raced this car since it was new .

Re: Who has raced the same car the longest time
We bought the 1971 Cuda 383 in late 1979 and started racing it in 1980 as bracket car. All the time working to make it a legal stocker, three years later on a cold night at Nashville it ran the 1/8 mile index. After 30 years its still my favorite physics problem.

Re: Who has raced the same car the longest time
Even though it's been parked for 20+ years. I purchased my 1966 Chevy II in Nov-Dec of 1978. I wish I never would've cut it? Sadly, 30 years ago, it just another old car and there were still plenty of them out there. I often heard my father tell stories of a couple old cars he had, that he wished he have kept. Well, I guess I kept one of mine!
