Re: The CONVINCER II
It seems like Dan Rich was actually Dan Rzeczkxxxxx, and the story goes that his last name was too big for the door.
Dan was the driver, and at Island Dragway he took the Convincer down the track in 11.20 seconds. They used the L-88 cam in the L-72 to make enough power at the time.
Peter Dedella, the owner, was the parts-guy at Holsey Chevrolet in Jersey City.
I have also been told that Ralph Truppi was involved in some way when the car was ordered.
