Interesting story/history behind your racecar?
 

I've heard a few good ones over the years. Red LeBlanc being a one-owner of his SS/G car; Bill Davis is a one'owner of his current SS/D record holding Camaro; Larry and Shirley Jewell going on their honeymoon in Larry's current SS/DA Corvette.

Anyone else have some interesting/fun stories and history with a past or current racecar?

Forgot two of the best Camaro's out there--Dan Fletcher's Stocker and S/S.

Bought my aspen from a stripper (ginny cook) for the cost of a tow bill. $12.00. Cleaned the car and found empty mary jane bags, a couple of needles and job apps for every strip club in town plus a few condom wrappers.... Thank god for welding gloves LOL. New car is my car I drove to highschool and college in the eighties....Got LOTS of memories and stories with that one.... should hit the track by the end of summer...

My Aspen Wagon came from GTX John, The tow bill cost more than the car.

I grew up at the drag strip with my dad and mom. I had zero interest in getting into this sport. There was more than enough fun going to the races and hanging out with them plus the Emmons' Circus.

My mom found a car for sale that Irvin Johns owned and she peer pressured me into buying it. That wasn't exactly my first car. About 6 months prior, my dad found a '68 crate motor Camaro that he had me buy.

He took me out to the track and explained everything you could imagine what to do from the burnout to staging the car plus shifting. He didn't tell me anything about what to expect when I needed to shut down the car. It was a wild ride for a 1st timer for sure.

When the drag racing bug bites it leaves a nasty scar.
