Ha... lots of "back when" racers hanging on this page..... so seeing a "curve ball" thrown at us once in awhile is nothing "new" but enjoyable!!!

Here's another "curve" back at ya!!!

I believe he is travelling with the "NEW SWAMP RAT" powered by the "NEW" 392 HEMI (late model efi'd version) put into a period correct chasis.

My brother and I met him in Houston, TX at the NHRA event there about 12 years ago, he talked to us for ever, he had his travelling museum with him so we got to drool over all that stuff as well. My brother passed just over three years ago so these memories, are kinda painful, but I am so glad to have had them, and share them with my brother. Thanks again hotrod 80!
