Your absoluty right. I reinspected the car after each the many spins. One
problem during the primary inspection was the driver could not start or turn
off the engine with the arm restraints on...all the switches were on the dash
and were not reachable and had to be rerouted to the roll cage...I wonder if
anyone checked the 553 car...Street driven cars are funny that way. Acually
happened in about 97 or 98.. The car was also illegal and would have been
thrown out of impiounds if it had qualified...It was not an exact copy of a
32...Doors too long, windshield lip missing, area behind the rear wheel well
changed...etc. .J.D. Beautifull though especially with that cammer Ford for
power

Frank Currie drove his roadster from Anaheim to the salt, got a timing slip
of 205 or so THEN drove it to Plesanton for a street rod event. By the way he
installed the roll cage at the salt, spun the car a couple of time at 195 or so
then put Duane McKinney in the car for the time slip of 200+. The year?
around '93? Dan, Glenn, anyone?
