Sad to hear another one of the guys I grew up admiring has passed.
My buddy Dave and I, used to watch Jack Briner wheel that SS/DA Cuda at Eddyville, back in the 70s.
The engine in that car popped like an old John Deere, after the burnout, before staging.
It had a beautiful paint job, and was a featured car in many mags. I think Del-Star did the paint.
So was Chuck the original driver? I see his dad's name was Charles?
A google search will show lots of pictures of the Cuda.
