I've been watching this car since I started GOING to drag races, back in the early to mid seventies. Good Ol' Charlie Brown. "Vintage" ESPN footage from Thunder Valley (Bristol Tennessee) dragway in the 90's: Beginning of the pass with launch is at about 2:21. Amazing what he can get out of a 283 cubic inch engine with a manual 4 speed.
That's pretty cool. I love 57 chevy's, but the fact that he's been racing the same car (and winning) since at least 71 is about as good as it gets.
