Teasin ya M.
Your recollection is correct.Article goes on to say there was an earlier repair on that Chevelle axle housing,that was poorly done.
Don't blame the Driver.

JJ is a wild man, especially when he's piloting a 4hitter! I think he bent his shifter rods last June on his 'vette while hammerin gears at the pure stock race

That was a bummer on the 'velle in that article, because I think that chevelle is fully capable of matching the et of the copo camaro. I've seen it racing at subsequent pure stock events, and JJ can really drive!

On the Chevelle, it was a pooly previous repair on the center section. It is all welded up and fixed properly now. Still all original tubes and center section. You can see the welds and some think I should fix it so you can't see them, but I like to think of it has history of the car and leave it that way.
I got that line of thinking from Micky Hale as he left some of the war wounds on his 'Cane from it's glory dayz!
Before that shootout, I never really looked at the rar end. I had never raced the car since I had owned it, so when the shootout came up we went tp the track the week-end before. I had the carb rebuilt and the distributor recurved and the first and second passes were both 13 teens, so we were happy and went home thinking the car was ready!
