Lingenfelter powered '63 corvette

[sYc]

A few weeks ago, I was invited by NHRA to show the Schnelker and Loser Corvette at the recent U.S. Nationals, held each year in Indy. Besides getting to visit with lots of folks about the car, including some who remembered the car from years past, I got a visit from Estelle Townsend, who 1st built it into a race car, and his family. Also, got a call from Tim Losher, whose father is Rick Losher, past owner of the car. Tim had received a lot of texts and emails from friends letting him know the car was on display at Indy. Last, but not least, Mike “Fuzzy” Meyer stopped by to visit. Mike was a partner of John Lingenfelter, during the early and mid 1970’s, he knew the car well.
To top the weekend off, on Monday, right before the Pro semis, I got to stage the car in the lanes, then make a parade lap down the return road in front of the grandstands.
