While not in L.A. or the US myself, I do have some info you might benefit from when it comes to writing about Dana Chevrolet, and the driver of their Dana Camaro's being campaigned around the country. A driver by the name of Dale Armstrong (The Crazy Canuck) who hailed from here in Calgary and became a legend in the drag race community. Here is a short biography written after he passed a couple years ago.

Dale was a master mechanic who moved to California, worked at Lee White & Dana Chevrolet before going onto race AA cars and later becoming Kenny Bernsteins crew chief. He helped develop, test and set many National records in top fuel and also consulted with John Force before his passing in 2014. Here are a few pics of Dale in various cars as well as the Dana Camaro. The first is his legenary Chevy II that started his career in drag racing.
