Jerry,
I think so, I wasn't introduced to you but saw your car. I think it was at US131 in Martin Mich. Is that possible? I was there almost every year from 1984-90. I'm old so my memory might be screwed up, but for some reason that drag strip rings a bell.

if it was at a UDRA Pro Stock race during that time it was probably me and my group---however-I was thinking more about the Keeling & Clayton California Charger cars when I was racing out there

But, if it was the pro stocks------that'll do too

nice pics guys. i just got home from the ford weekend @ MIR Maryland Int Raceway. i got some good photos of a 63 galaxy and a 67 cyclone at the tree and many others i'll get them posted soon. phipp

Here is my fav

Here are a few of my favorite photos ......... of the famous Keeling & Clayton California Charger diggers ........... I'll let Jerry explain photo #4

heres a couple good freeze frames

this is probably one of my favorite pictures

Explaination for photo #4---- Chuck Johnson, who built the car with John Keeling lost both his legs below the knees to a land mine in Viet Nam--this was one of his early ones.

And then there was the time he went skiing, wiped out big time and a woman skiied up to him to see if she could help( common couerteous practice) are you OK, do you need any help??? and seeing both legs laying twisted away, backwards----feinted---twice more as she came to and passed out again, and again
