Re: February 2006 Feature Car
This feature is long over due. He and the car in my eyes are legendary!
We should really have a SCR diecast modeled after his car.

I've been itchin' to do a feature on this car for some time, as this car is *special* to me...from being in the opposite lane from it and watchin' it do it's thing up close, or breathin' in the history of this thing while it's sitting still, to Ken givin' me crap about my lazy lights...THIS is why I'm this hobby! Had I been around in '69 and had the resources, the path would've been eerily similar...same color, same build, heck probably even the same tow rig! Words can't describe how deep this car goes with me...simply awesome...  [/ QUOTE ] Ditto....

I had the privilege to see Ken take his 69 ZL1 COPO down the quarter mile at SCR8. There is one pass I will never forget, and it will always be a great memory. Great car and history, and a great owner. Awesome, totally awesome.  [/ QUOTE ] Tony here are a few more shots of the aftermath of that ride...

Re: February 2006 Feature Car
Love it....especially how it's no trailer queen! . I see it's got one of the Yenko cast ZL1 motors....is the original motor long gone? . In that old pic of it sitting on the back of the '65'ish truck....is it unlettered and with it's steelies and dog dish caps? . Looks like the truck could be a wheelstander itself when loaded? . Hats off to you Ken!!! ~ Pete

Re: February 2006 Feature Car
Hey cool! . I think that's a '66 w/ the side emblems down on the fenders? . Is that the same rig he had shown in the old photos....looks like a bit longer wheelbase? ~ Pete

I say its about 20 feet from the car on an engine stand with about 100 miles on it... I could be wrong about the mileage but I know its low. Sweet car, nice guy, and fun to watch at the track. Mark
