B. Wenzel Wins Norwalk NHRA National Event

[SSRSBOB]

Congrats to Ben & Dave Wenzel, Can't think of anyone more deserving of this national event win. Gentlemen racers, and the fact that Ben bought this very rare Z28 new in June of 1967 (one of 602 produced), won Indy in Sept of '67......and is still racing the same car today. 43 years between national event wins but who's counting. Between the Jegs Championship last year, multiple points race wins, division 3 championship. You are a living legend in the world of NHRA and Stock Eliminator. And with a stick shift car to boot, keep it up for another 20 years! I was there when you won Indy in '67.

I met Jerry this past weekend at Carlisle and he was telling me that Ben is in his late 60's early 70's or something like that. Amazing for either of these guys to have reflexes like that and to keep winning. Oh and Jerry's &quot;Yenko Eater&quot; Z-28 is unreal! I heard that car fire up while walking through the show field Friday afternoon and had to go see what it was. The memories that car brought back from my younger years so I just sat and listened. I couldn't believe that he would race such a beautiful car as it looked more like a restored car than a race car.

Yep a real nice car with a rare color combo. Car is as much GO &quot;or more&quot; as it is show! Jerry is not a bad driver himself either.
