For those that raced at E Town. Do you remember a guy named ( I think ) Henry Jackson. Ran a 66/67 Chevelle. Nicest sounding car ever.

Yeah, I remember him and his cars; green 1970 Chevelle SS, blue 1969 Camaro SS and the black 1967 Chevelle SS you mention. Henry's cars were/are immaculate--atypical.
I've known of him since the early 1980s when I first ran into him on the street while cruising with my buddy in his 1970 440-powered, 4-speed Road Runner in Asbury Park, NJ. Over the years, I've seen him from time to time at Raceway Park, with increasingly faster machinery.
Last I saw Henry was at Raceway Park sometime in the mid-1990s. I was on top end, a good bit past the finish line, and Henry just finished making a pass in his mid-7 second, black, white-striped 1969 Camaro.
While talking to a fellow I met at a buddy's shop about four or five years ago, his name came up. I was told Henry is still racing and also builds racing engines (now).

The first time I saw that 67 leave the line I was impressed. My buds and I all said the same thing. It just squatted down and left. Hardly any front end lift. Just grabbed and went. mImpressive
