Took me a week to get through it, but you guys have ***embled a real treat. Here's a small addition:



I first saw a pic of this car in a Drag Racing book I found in my grade school library in the late '60's. I've been in awe of unusual and unpredictable cars ever since. I swear, this guy looks cooler than Steve McQueen on his best day.




I never really knew a whole lot about the Skip Hess Mustang AA/GS car until my boss bought it in the mid '80's. It was very nearly complete right down to the Hannah tinwork, needing only paint and an SOHC 427 to look like this. The last owner had bracket-raced it with a BB Chevy (?) and painted it yellow.




The Skip Hess car as it appears today. Not much left of the original ch***is, both ends have been changed and the original cage and beautiful Hannah aluminum is gone.




I know, it's awfully modern, but it makes me feel good on a cold December night. For all the politics and cubic dollars, drag racing is STILL the best sport going. If you're a circle-track fan, you gonna get this close to Jimmie Johnson's 48 car on race day? When the NHRA circus comes to town, I get up early, make the three hour drive to Sears Point and see my heroes all day long and come home sunburnt and smelling of nitro. I can think of worse ways to spent a day...
