Re: OLD Modified Corvettes
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)

Re: OLD Modified Corvettes
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. |
