Great shots Ken,

The 65 AFX car is a good friend of mine, Danny Householder. Lives about four miles from me. We started out racing at Capital Raceway together about 1970! Those were the days.

Here's a good one. Charlie Braxton's '67 Z28 at Capital Raceway about 1968. He bought this car new at Lustine Chevrolet in July 1967. Ordered the car in Feb but wanted factory headers and cowl plenum and had to wait extra months for the hot rod options.

Car is now in Idaho and we're building the 302 mill for this hot rod. This car and the new Stocker 67 Z that I built are the first two 67 Z28s that I saw in person. Back then, most people didn't know what they were.

Note the fancy lettering job. Charlie always had the car like this. Ask any of the old timers at Capital Raceway. Open headers and seven inch tires put this car in the 12.60 zone.

Beautiful shot!

Jerry, Just curious, where did the '67 Z-28 originally fall in the NHRA Stock weight break? Where did it fall after NHRA refactored the HP?
