Arlen is one of the nicest gentleman - he's been a great help with my research.
However, I did kinda question where it says his "restored" Duster - It's a NEW "replica" of his original Duster, not a restoration.
Many Thanks for posting the info -- Reed in Neb.

Thank you for clarifying that point. It was not meant as a misrepresentation.

I was talking to Arlen a few days ago and he's pretty "pumped" about the new car - Mike, I just wanted to clarify so there was no misunderstanding. Thank you for posting the info, wish I could be there !!

It will be a blast to meet Arlen in person. Hopefully, we can get him to retell a few early pro stock stories. Early Pro stock is what made me fall in love with drag racing in the first place.

Reed, I reread our flyer and I see where I gave the incorrect impression that the Duster was "his". We actually made that flyer many weeks ago when we thought Arlen was "only" bringing his Super Stocker. The deal to also bring the Duster was finalized in the last 10 days or so.

I met Arlen at York last year and bought one of his T-shirts with the 70 Duster on it as his 70 Duster is my favorite of his Dusters. He was one heck of a nice guy and very cool to talk with. Ron
