Completely , and for sure.
I'm just always overly-interested in nit picks with or about BHC and Invoice details. Even if Fred had Judge decals on the 67 , I wouldn't begrudge him. Anybody else , would have to roast them like a marshmallow. The Godfather of Documentation |

I have the sheet detailing all 24 23369 Tempest sedans built with manual transmissions. Half had the 332 option, half did not, Fred's is in that group. Only three were 4-speeds, and of those, only one (Fred's) has A/C.
He sent me this when I asked about option 332 on his car: Quote:

For the wife and for me, this being our first time, we booked kinda late. Got a "trackside" RV spot, non-electric. Got on waiting lists for an electric space, a golf cart and a mobility scooter.
We got calls an hour apart from Dornan and Stride Mobility, and we reserved the golf cart. I'm glad they called first, since our RV space was at the dragstrip's extreme end, so a half-mile from the starting line. Scooter (little Pride 3-wheeler) would have been unsuitable, and the golf cart was cheaper! Golf cart made the event most enjoyable and provided new experiences for our 3 dogs to buzz around with us and get all kinds of attention! |

For early years we use to walk around. Bringing quad one year helped getting from race side to show side .Then renting cart was the easiest,quickest. When your class is called up.Where the time goes i can't believe it's been so long. The anticipation for the event,then the event, now a week later,time flies.

My biggest surprise was how many 61-63 Tempests were at this event, especially the race side.

Those 61-63 Tempests make good race cars. Attractive looks, way, way overbuilt unibody construction. Room for a Pontiac V-8 without major modifications. Early GTO styling clues.

Hey Mike! I'll be selling a 62 Lemans soon, right down the road from you. It could be your next race car project!
