    65 pacecar the Placke Chevrolet 62 above was a cool car. I was not able to secure a picture of the car with permission but I dd mention it in my discussion of the 62 Nationals where Russ Narzinski raced the car. A really cool car IMO. They stroked a 327 to 401 with Buick rods with a Racer Brown cam and a GMC blower. They had been running in the 11s at Alton Dragway which would have netted them a win at Indy but they did not run 11s at Indy and Sam Parriott was able to take class with a mid 12 second pass. Wonder what ever came of the car?

    Jim, Amazon delivered my copy this morning. While I cheated a bit and cherry-picked through the content, rest assured, I'll be taking a respite from streaming old TV shows for the time being while digesting the remainder of the book. Thanks for including a couple of pictures and some kind commentary related to my initial experimentation with NHRA drag racing in a '57 Corvette. While I stayed with Stock and Super Stock racing for 40 more years, it was never again in a Corvette and nothing quite equalled the emotional high of Winternationals, 1971. So, thanks for the memories... you've done all of us a great favor!
