Chuck -

I knew that Karl bought the car from Sammy; I didn't know what happened to it after that. Thanks!
Didn't surprise me about Sammy. He's the only person I have ever seen lay a SBC crankshaft on the ground from a stocker. He did it at Baton Rouge also in the 327-250hp '68 Chevelle wagon that the Doughty brothers have. Set the record on that run, IIRC.

Curt Reese, Pierre, SD has one. Running 9 inch rear tire & stock suspension in GT/MA with a 283

Tracy Battest, Aberdeen, SD has one. Running P/SA I believe.

Glen DeMenge, in northern MN had one of the fastest M/SA but sold it. Where did it go?

Ed Drucker, CA, has one running J/SA

Bob Elliott, AZ ran one last year in K/SA

The car that Bill Prince had was originally mine. We never had any issues with the windowed blocks and we ran it pretty hard: shifted at 6500 and ran through the lights at 7000.

Dean,
Joe Reid has Glen's old car.

Curt Rees' car was a fun street car. When we had it. It had an aluminum headed Olds 455. It would run high 11's in street trim.

No, standard cast crank.

We're still using the same lightweight cast crank that we started running in 2000. It has well over a thousand runs in our Superstocker. It probably helps the crank a bunch to have it in a sleeved 350 or DX block as ours is. Keeping your fingers crossed must help too, as those cranks certainly don't look as though they'd take that kind of abuse.
