Default Arnie Beswick returns
I spoke with Arnie this afternoon, and, he casually said that he had "made a few passes" this past weekend at "Da Grove". After a few years off after his terrible fire, he was running 7.20s @ 190+, "not pushing it", LOL. Not bad for a 76 year old, huh?

Glad to hear he's back. I've never met him or seen him race, but I'd like to some day. I have seen his beautiful '69 GTO, though. What a car, Mike.
