Dec 2011 Super Chevy has a small pic of my 66 Chevelle in their "Back in the Day" column. Was at a car show yesterday and someone I know came up to me and told me about it. Hit Barnes & Noble on the way home and sure enough a picture of me cleaning the motor compartment is in there! Picture was taken in 1983 at Super Chevy Sunday at Maple Grove Raceway in PA. This was way before I pro streeted the car. Was running a tunnel rammed 427 with nitrous and Doug Nash 5 speed at the time.
The day before leaving for the show I bent a valve on the way to fill up with gas. Limped home, ripped off the head and had the machine shop fix it. Put everything back together and left for the show in the middle of the night, yes I drove it there from CT. Ended up winning best modified Chevelle and best modified Chevelle motor. This was at the first Super Chevy ever at Maple Grove. Car was also shot for a feature and made it into Super Chevy a couple times when it was red. Was worth all the headaches.
Years later it was featured on the cover and centerfold after I pro streeted it. Guess I will write them a letter/email and let them know I have abandoned Chevys a long time ago to join the Turbo Buick ranks. The poor Chevelle was sold in 1995 after being in over 20 car magazines when we were expecting a child and didn't think the car was family friendly and a Grand National would be. After 16 years the Chevelle is in the next town over after having lost track of it for about 15 years.
