I think the guys name was John lived around Northfield that owned it he bought it in 1962. He was or is a truck driver. He ran a 305 it was built like a 302 in specs. high revs.
It was black and lettered Black Death in the earlier years. When I rode in it he had bought the tires and wheels from Godzilla I think thats when the rear wheel wells got cut that big.

Interesting story. I gotta say though it looks VERY uncomfortable to drive with the pedals set up as such. Looks to have a third pedal(bonus points) and a Hurst V gate shifter.

Ya, it was a perfect day for racing.

I was fighting to get around #1 in points to win the championship but I ended up running him in the finals so I finished in #2 spot for the year. He was three rounds ahead in points and needed to go out by 2nd round. Didn't happen. Oh well, next year.

Time to put it in the garage for the winter. Ugh.
