Back in May there was a thread started about accidents, and I reported my friend's terrible crash of his '51 Studebaker at the drag strip. It was a twin turbocharged Studebaker powered 10 second 140 mph car.
I never reported any followup info, so here it is. Seven weeks after the accident he drove one of his other cars in a pure stock drag race meet in Martin, Mi. This pure stock car is a '63 Studebaker Lark factory equipped with a Paxton blown Avanti engine. Now one of his injuries was a broken right clavicle, and this car is a 4 speed. He not only drove it at the meet, but won his 2 out of 3 match with a car of similar performance. What an inspiration this 74 year young guy is to me!
