Re: Cal Method!
I'm in my seventies amd remember reading about Cal, and some still active others like Dick Maris, Ben Wenzel in Super Stock and Drag Illustrated, Car Craft Magazine and National Dragster.
For Cal to win this race and especially againt the reigning champions, the great Joe and Hal Sorensen. I think of Bobby Warren and hope he's well. |

Re: Cal Method!
Class Racing Today (Brian Anderson/Bobby Fazio) had an interview with Cal about 3 years ago (episode 48). Always worth watching again.
Congratulations Cal! See you and the rest of the family at the Pacific Divisional.

Re: Cal Method!
Got a message from Cal that he wanted me to share.
He wants to thank everyone for all the congratulations and tremendous outpouring of support. He feels very humbled to have the support of such a great racing family. Thank You.
