    Anyone remember Tony D writing for Cars Illustrated in the late 80's? He wrote great articles on the TR and Scotty G's street racer Electra. Great to see he still appreciates Buick and the history that cars like Ingenue offer.

    Galot Motorsports Park is Nancy Wilson’s deal which was moved from downtown Henderson,NC...she is such a sweetheart and has been so kind to me... I just had to support her event.

    I am told this facility is perhaps one of the finest 1/8 mile tracks in the Nation...so we’re really looking forward to attending.

    I have great videos of the car running,just trying to figure out how to post them from the road...

    I have the end tower suite at Galot for this event. Nancy has the other one. Join us there if you can. A local racer named Earl Wells spent 10 million on a complete renovation of Galot Motorsports Park. http://www.galotmotorsportspark.com/home.htm . At the old location, Henderson, we consistently drew 3000 classic cars for this event. Galot is a much better host venue.

    Just soooo cool! Did anyone else hear he paid $1100?

    Scotty Guadagno still builds engines out of Tampa now. He built the shortblock in my Mustang 5 years ago. He held the NHRA notrous record and now races outlaw street. Him and his dad moved from Brooklyn to Tampa.

    Tony told me he had the opportunity to purchase Ingenue but couldn’t pull the trigger...as for me,let’s just say I paid significantly more than that,lol!

    Tony D is a great writer. His articles in Cars Illustrated are great reading.
