Been posting some of my hundreds of photographs from 20-30 years ago over on various FaceBook pages but don't really know where to post these individually. These are from Muscle car Assoc High Performance Showdown at Milan in early 90's

I worked for the NMCA at the time and was at that race.

----That was me in the drivers seat of Red Alert, Lon. I was supposed to match race Porterfield that day but if I remember correctly, he broke something. That was my 1st motor. It got me down in the high 10s. The motor I ran for years (#2) got me down in the low 10s. Would have been relatively easy to hit the 9s but there were too many NHRA mandated changes I would have had to make. I wanted to keep Red basicly the same as Bob H had it.......Bill S

Cool story, Bill. I can't imagine what it's like to move that much metal down the 1/4 mile in the low 10's............
