I told the story on here a couple years ago on how I met Godfrey, he was soft spoken and a very cool guy, too bad that I didn't learn his story until decades later.... A true 100% American Patriot

Cool story. I immediately thought of the "Silver Bullet" and wondered if the 2 ever raced.

Don't know if they had "classes" on Woodward, but the Silver Bullet was maybe a little less stock?

Nope. No "classes".

It was "Run what ya brung and hope ya brung enough".

They eventually morphed in to essentially Pro Stock variants driven on the street, as epitomized by the Jack Roush/Joe Ruggirello Mustang II.

I was thinking about the fact that guys are just out cruising looking for some action and ya don't always know who you'll come up on. Yeah, Silver Bullet isn't stock. I saw it at Woodward one year. Cool car.

AFAIK the Silver Bullet had an A990 Race Hemi in it. Same motor in the Darts and Cudas doing 10 second quarter miles
