All of these shots of old race cars made me think of this car from my old neighborhood. This shot is from 1981.



This car was built and tuned just down the street from me, right next door to a good friend. Something about standing in a two car garage as the big block was fired up with open headers. Really makes an impression on a young boy. The fact that these guys would put with me and my buddy hanging around while they were trying to get the car ready for the next race was pretty cool. I thought so then and I think so even more so looking back at it now.

This car even made the cover of Circle Track magazine in the mid-late '80s as it was one of the few Modifieds with IFS.
