Default Hemmings Muscle Machines - Jan 2017 Cover Car

I think someone in Michigan attending the Pure Stock Drag Race made it to the cover of HMM - Jan 2017 issue. Congrats

Here is the cover page - PSMCDR - Carl Straub's 70 4-4-2 W30. I wasn't able to make it to the races that day. But after the race I bumped into Carl at a gas station near our house with my 19 year old son. The car sounded great and we talked with Carl for awhile... he looked tired!

Thanks for the compliments. Carl and I own that car together. It runs pretty strong for how heavy it is, we put a 3.90 gear in it and Pipes exhaust this year and it picked up 4 mph and a half second. It is an automatic A/C car so it's a little heavy. Sure had a good time there as always. We have brought cars to the PSMCDR for the past 19 years, And making the cover of hemmings is icing on the cake. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]
