Joe,

You talked about doing some testing at a drag strip in Hudson, NC that was close to Carlton's shop. I had the opportunity to do some testing there in 1980 and took a few photos that area attached. The first one shows my trusty D600 transporter parked in the uphill staging lanes, the second one shows the 1/8th mile drag strip and the decidely uphill shutoff, and the last one shows Bruce Walker of Barry Setzer PS Camaro and Vega fame running his "foreign" car one day while I was there. While maybe not the most sophisticated drag strip in the world, the fans and employees at Hudson were some of the most enthusiastic I ever remember.
