Thought this was kind of interesting, Bill in the ZL-1 going up against, and defeating, Ronnie Sox in a Sox & Martin Hemi. According to Bill, he began match racing the car in 1991 running that year a 10.20 @135. Defeated McDonald's AFX '65 Coronet, Banning's '68 Hemi Dart, Legend's Pontiac, and lost to Bob Reed's '68 Hemi Cuda. In '93 Bill inproved to a 9.31 @ 144.89, defeating the Sox and Martin '68 Hemi Cuda and Red Alert '70 Chevelle. '94 saw Bill defeat Dave Lyall '69 Mustang 2 out of 3 and again defeating Red Alert '70 Chevelle. It is a shame that these old race cars have appreciated in value so much that few folks dare to race them. Hats off to the ones who do.
