[Dr. Eric M. Schiffer]

Sorry about that Keith.

I was at Duggan's "Dream Cruise Central" last night with the Blackbird. WOMC 104.3, the Dream Cruise Office radio station, interviewed me about the Blackbird. The D.J. followed up with an interview of John Politzer "Cheater". John had no idea that the broadcast was live and wouldn't give his name other then say he was known as "Cheater". The D.J. quested him about all of his exploits. John gave him some stories but never his name. John said to me later I hope they edit it. That is when I told him it was "live". He just laughed.

Traffic was heavy with Muscle Cars and Classics. Great night for being out on Woodward.

Several people knew the 'Bird in its day. One gentleman's cousin had just sold his low 1968 Black Hemi Charger to Director Ron Howard for a movie he is doing. The Charger ran the Blackbird. He said it was very eye opening as when they raced all he say was the tail lights of the Blackbird disappearing in the distance. John Politzer heard the story and just smiled.

Another guy who knew the Blackbird back in the day wouldn't stop bothering us with questions about the car. He finally said all of you guys, Jim Wangers, Frank Ulbrick, John and I still won't give out any info about how fast and what is under the hood. John just smiled and said it's a Chevy. After several hours the guy just gave up.
