Yep, alot of fun for a 65 year old owner/driver shifting a Jerico behind a "real" 409 motor with I believe steel heads! Ronnie "wildfire" Evans and his number 1 pit crew Verne "Mr 409" Frantz!.

Don't give me too much credit Sam. Everyone pitches in equally at the track. Yes, it is an original '62 iron block & heads (steel fenders & doors too) 3415pounds with Ronnie in it.

Carl's car is the selected competition for Wildfire. Both have run 9.68. The other car is his son-in-laws car, (Steve) a 2dr sedan.

Ron Travia's car is actually the tow car. (matching Nassau Blue '62 '09s) No one knows where the race car wound up. Maybe wrecked.
