Default 56' Bel Air

I know, I know this the C1/C2 forum BUT.

Just noticed Glenn Hunter's (all steel) 56' Bel Air above Kelly Harvey's 65' vette (subject car of post).
Talked to them at Bradenton, most impressive.
Gone as quick 6.98 @ 202mph,then drive to the next track pulling a small trailer.
It makes Drag Racing fun again.Just might have to do a C2 again :-)
