I think I beat Don in that car at OCIR a week before the divisional race back in the mid 1970, maybe early 1980s bracket racing Al move two blocks down the street from me in Hesperia after he retired form the telephone company, I've had him flow more than one set of heads on his bench What is Kenny doing now?

Haha, not sure which flow bench it was but Don's flow bench is at Shane's (Don's Son) shop in Utah. Precision Cylinder Heads Kenny is working at Mazzolini's shop these days, then heading to his shop in the afternoon, just talked to him yesterday. I sure miss my Uncle - Don And Al too. Those guys were my idols growing up and hanging out at the racetrack.

Not sure Cab, I have not heard of that particular van. Sounds awesome though.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

Cool pics I can almost hear those M/P 10 grand small blocks rowing through the gears with those Doug Nash 5-speed transmissions That is what made me want a stick-shift race car when I was along the fence at Dragway 42 back in the 70's. Thanks for sharing Gus Ditto! Back in the day, you weren't considered a REAL door-car driver unless you could rip powershifts on a stock 4-speed at max RPM like it was an automatic. Oh yes! First car I learned to powershift was my street driven 1970 383 Road Runner with the 23 spline A-833 4-speed transmission. Here's a photo (of a photo) of my RR back in Dec. 1981 after I got through cleaning my car off and shoveling the snow out of the driveway. I wish I never sold it. (Check out the open Air Grabber scoop.) Q426
