Default Re: competition plus

First time I knew of your dad was back in the days of Stuttgart (ark) and Carlilse (ark) dragways. Lee Taylor operated those two and Lakeland at Memphis.
One big money bracket race at Stuttgart he brought the "Mr. 4 Speed" Dart. If Pinks all out thinks they turn the cars around quick,they should have been at the concrete slab at Stuttgart. Across the line then back to the line-up. Cool in the lanes and run again,all day long.
Final was your dad and a local 428/auto Fairlane GT. You're dad's arm never missed a stroke all day and the final was no different. I was at the finish line and there wasn't a fender length difference but the Dart's was out in front at the right time.
Memories are why I lurk here.
Just thought I'd share.
