I saw this Catalina at Norwalk a few years back for the first time.. I saw him in the quick 16 shootout, my first impression was that he got in the wrong lane. Man, those whitewalls hooked..... |
That's Ernie Keppler that you are talking about. He's actually from here in central Illinois. I'm not sure if he made it into the 10's on those whitewalls. I think he was right at 11.0's. On slicks it will run well into the 10's though. That really is an impressive car with d-ports and an iron intake, that can drive anywhere, and looks like grandma's car.
