round 2
i put the 5 names in a hat and drew brent as the bye runner .. and matched danny in his cutlas with claude in his mach one .. this race very well may have taken place as these guys were from the same era and each had these cars then .. not everybody knew everybody then but it seems i did .. they would most likeky have ran up on stateline road as that`s where claude lived and prefered to race .. then if the alabama law showed up they`d simply move to the tenn side of the road .. as usual claude would have his slicks mounted but even with that he could`nt keep up with the big 455 .. danny had the quickest 60 footer i ever saw .. there was a bridge at hump creek that we would do timed runs on and danny would go end to end or 0 to 60 in about 5 seconds .. i did see danny beat this 429 scj torino several times at miles creek .. danny would also beat claude i `m sure ..
this car still sits where the owner parked it in 1986 before he passed away ,, the widow will not sell it for any price .. it does stay under cover at least .. she let me get some shots of it

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
