Great older car with history. Graet job on the pictures Thanks.

It also won Pomona in 1975 with Eugene driving it.

I would also bet that it has more trips down the quarter then any other class car. It has never had a year off and when not at a points or Nats , it is racing most weekends bracket racing since.

Late word from Craig Hutchinson - The rescheduled eliminations have been changed to October 22 to get away from all the conflicts.

That's funny. Still a smart idea to move it.

Well other than breaking an engine I had fun. I got to hang out with my friend Ashton Hudson. Funny how a Ford and Chevy guy can be friends. Lol I got to talk to several other racers that I consider friends as well Ed Wright,Gary Moore,Ken Howell, JB CLegg and Mike and Janie Braswell. Mike is the most generous guy I know. I want to say thanks to Mike for all the help he has given me. I enjoy going to the races with my son and seeing friends we don't get to see to often. We hope to repair our broken engine over the winter and try again next year. Hope you enjoy the pics. I thought I got everyone but by the s/ss qual sheets I didn't. Sorry about that. Ed
