Both Paul Kiel (Mr. 427) and I had great seasons in 1978. We both won the track championships that year.

Jerry, I was looking at the list of car and drivers. I noticed John Boughers Virginia Gentlemen was on the list. Do you remember the car?

[Jerry@CHP]

John,

Yes, both Paul amd me knew him well. Great guy and a very good racer to boot. He had only passed away about two years ago. Think he was born in 1917 if I remember correctly. I remember this because he always told us that he was born the same year as John F. Kennedy.

His Vette was green before it got the red paint. Power windows too.

John,

I actually have some video at the track back in the early 1980's of John and his Corvette. I'll have to see if I can dig it out.

John,

You will love this. I found the 75-80 Track Magazine cover in my archives. On the cover is John and myself. We both had killer years in 1978 and I wound up winning the track Championship in Super Pro. John ran in the Pro catagory.

This was my debut year with the 1966 SS396 Chevelle. In 1977, another 1966 Chevelle won the championship at 75-80. His name is Sam Myers. Sam is the one who inspired me to build the new car and not cut up my 1969 Chevelle.
