This is me at Orange County International Raceway in the 1970's. 17 years old.

This is a color picture of Larry Martin (car owner) in the staging lanes in the same car:

I'd love to own a gasser style C1 that was street legal and street friendly to tool around with on weekends!

My 58 Super/Stock project is temporarily on hold as I bought a garage find 62 less than a mile from my house, that's been sitting since 1977. I've stripped it and now doing body work for Red paint. Replaced everything that has fluid except the block...just gonna be a nice driver car for me to cruise around in. Should be back on the Racer in the spring
