Here is the story on the Avon/Bobby Don race. I talked to Bobby Don personally after his race with Avon. Avon left before tree was activated, Bobby Don left shortly after him. Going by the NHRA rules Bobby Don won the race. While some of the race officials were tiring to figure it out, Bobby Don told Avon, "Lets settle it on the track. Lets re-race. Fastest car goes to the next round" Avon agreed and they set it back up. Avon got the hole shot, Bobby don was passing him by the '330 cone when Bobby Don's intercooler pipe came loose from the throttle body. (We all know what happens when that comes loose) Avon won the race and went through to the next round.
Congrats to Avon on the win & Congrats to Bobby Don for being a TRUE GENTLEMEN Racer. LC and I are privileged to be his car builder, tuner & FRIEND.
