Built and maintained by Joe Simon and me Rich Biebel...
Engine from T/K, Ralph Truppi and Tommy Kling
Driven for the record run and backup by Ray Allen just to reduce the chances of any driver error.
We were down to the last opportunity of the year to get the record and decided to ask Ray to drive it and he did.
The car was sold to Rich Decola and Paul Delvecchio and in this picture it was on their ramp truck in the gas station I worked at for years.......and built and maintained the car there as well....

We ran faster than the ET record and much faster than the MPH record......and the car ran more than 2 tenths faster than the existing record on it's third pass.

It was previously run as a Super Stocker.....and owned by Andy Spaziani and run with a 396/375 and ran very well in SS/E

Rich Decola held the SS/J record with it......and I watched him make some runs with it in SS trim and was amazed at how much faster it was with a cam and intake change.....11.40's and that was with a flat tappet cam I think and 9 or 10 inch tires.....

Our biggest disappointment was not qualifying at the 1970 SummerNationals at York and also missing the field at E-Town the following year.......

Today most everyone gets to race eliminations.......Thats not how it was in the old days......and it was heartbreaking to work so hard and not get a chance to race the eliminator.....We suffered that fate everytime we ran a National event with 2 different cars......and it was the main reason I quit and did not race a car for about 10 years.......

Dennis..

Rich Decola raced it for a number of years but I have no idea what happened to the car after about the mid 70's...

I saw Rich a few years ago up at Lebanon Valley....He was racing a mid 80's Camaro....

He moved to NC I think....

Paul Delvecchio passed a long time ago....I saw him at many races and was sad to learn he became ill and passed....
I think he crewed with Joe Santangelo Sr. when he raced Comp.....but I am a little vague on that memory....
