Been a few months since I spoke with an Olds friend of yours from down this way. Matt mentioned he would be in attendance with family this Sept. Am still trudging along with bodywork, looking fwd to making the trip. 2021 is the hard goal for my red car.
Semi-retired. I have a 68 Firebird which will eventual get the same treatment as my GT-37, improvements every year. This year I'm debuting my 69 Cutlass W-31, a car I've been wanting to race at PSMCDR since I spectated in 1999. Life got in the way. Four year ago I started the rotisserie restoration and that has finally been completed. The GT-37 recently had the top end of the motor refreshed. I'm planning to take it to a race in Maryland next month. I'm leaning towards bringing it back to Stanton in 2020.

Yes, Matt mentioned meeting up with you. He and the family made the trek up to Martin, MI for the FAST/Factory Stock race this past May/June. I let him take the Firebird down the track a couple times. He's hooked. Never drove the car before, but managed 14.99
