Quote: I've known Chris for a long time. My buddy Kevin at Supreme Bodywerks painted the original truck. Look up Al and Chris DeSalvo on google and you'll get a bunch of info. big racing family from Chicago. They were the Sparticus and "son" of Sparticus with an original 64 Dodge aluminum car and a 65 Plymouth. They matched raced for over 20 years with those cars. Chris's dad passed away years back and now Denny "South Oak Dodge owner" restored the 64 Dodge to factory. Incredable restoration! It's amazing how that 64 Dodge survived. I remember as a kid going to their shop on Fullerton to see Al banging the spark plugs on the aluminum fenders to gap them. Wow!
Chris is kinda back racing a 68 Cuda with a B1 running mid 8's. Back in the 80's they were some of the first guys spraying 500 plus HP and running mid 8's in the two 64's. They would wheel stand for over 500'. Was amazing to watch.
