Could this be Jeff Lee's former record holder? First FWD car in the 13's.
Is it white, by any chance?

A question for the informed!!!!! My late father in law left us a Cadillac El Dorado, fwd, with all the features.think it was 32 v. I think it was a 98...it was the cool looking one. Anyway, the thing was fast but I was afraid I would break something before getting it sold.
My question is: do these cars FIT in NHRA? One is for sale down the road.

Oops, I now see that it is not in the book...oh well

Wasn't there a guy named Mike Senna who raced a fwd Cadillac in Stock Eliminator at one time?

Mike was the one who got me involved in the Cadillac deal. We were partners with them and Hydramatic for 18 years. Between Me, Mike and Yac, there were 14 Cadillac race cars. Mike formed YANK Converters as a result of building them for the race cars and finally for GM specially vehicle group. I had 18 class wins and 16 national Records with the Cimarron. It was fun! Jim

No it was a blue Daytona raced by Floyd Colley. I think he had the record for a short time. Car last ran in Dallas several years ago before he passed away.

Yes Mike Senia, had the "Beyond Criticism" Pro Stock Cadillac before he went Stocker racing.

This car was stolen, crashed and buried at a race track up north while getting a fresh drive train installed. It was discovered years later when some track expansion was being done. It was a weird deal! Jim
