Calling Ray Morrison

[sYc]

On another thread is a very interesting discussion in regards to Dueces and original owners. Well, last week I spent time with Ray hearing about the glory days of racing his '68 Nova. Here are a few things he told me, and hopefully we can get Ray to fill in the details.

1. he was able to run in something like 18 classes as he ran a auto and 4 speed, 396 and 427, 2 and 4 barrell carb.
2. once took a 3 barrell carb and turned it into a 2 barrell, did not work.
3. had a guy in St. Louis build him a 2 barrell that flowed about 700CFM
4. could run 2 tenths under the class record.
5. flat towed the car to the races with a tow bar and free wheeling wheel adaptors on the rear.

Ray bought his car through the local Chevy dealer in West Plains. loaning him a Olds 98 to go get the Nova. He and friend Tom left at about 3AM, arriving at Dick's shop before it opened. Almost did not make it home, as the voltage regulator on the Nova quit. The car was financed through GMAC, through his local dealer. There was not a window sticker nor did Ray get any other paperwork, showing the modifications made to the car. The only notation was a note DH made in regards to the carb.
