Compliments of Mr. Nelson.

I think the color was described as "Bodyguard Burgundy"

We were discussing whether Howie was going to show up in drag, but he opted for the Barney costume.

One of the highlights of the show was the presence of Jim Hayter. On October 8, 1971 at the AHRA World Points Finals in Fremont, CA, Jim set a new record running a 9.63 @ 143 MPH to win the Pro Stock World Championship. He was driving the Fred Gibb sponsered 1969 ZL-1 Camaro, #1, now owned by Bill Porterfield.

Accordning to Bill, the car may be retired from racing, as he just recently put the original engine block back in the car. Glad I got to see Bill hammer it a couple of times.

BTW, Jim is still racing today.

Here is the car on the 2006 Gibb show plaques.





At the Gibb show.
