Jack/Ken,

Thanks for the updates and pictures. Sounds like the weather finally cooperated! Great racing at Atco, as usual!

Wow, I knew Red was coming out soon but Billy Bellofato in NHRA, what a great surprise and cool car. My mom had a 65 Valliant with a 225 and I couldn't believe how quick it was for a six. I can't resist telling an old Billy story. Back in the early to mid 70s Billy used to race a nice clean Duster with a 340 I think at Hampton Raceway, it was maybe a mid 12 second car. He towed it to the track with a severely rusted slant six 62 Valliant or Dart wagon, the one that had the spare tire look on the trunk. One day my buddy tapped me on the shoulder and said LOOK. We saw Billy towing the wagon into Hampton with the Duster and yes the wagon had the 340 and all the rust, the Duster had the slant six, thats when we knew Billy had character, Paul.
