Just to sit in a car like that or maybe even a brief run around the track would be a dream. I always thanked God that I was able to work at a job I loved and I'm sure you must feel the same way. How fortunate we are.  |
That little tempest beat the pants off everyone at Daytona. Had a factory 421 Cu in engine, the car had to weigh in at around 2400 pounds. Thats with a cast 421 block, and damn old heavy cast iron headers.......what a fantastic drag car it would have made. especially in pure stock class.
And to see that many Corvettes. Z06 Corvettes no less racing daytona all at once, has to be to this day a record amount of Corvettes in one race. Hell there were only 112 I believe to begin with compared to today's Z06 in the thousands and yet we see only a very few race.
Interesting isn't it?
