Great shots Ken,

The 65 AFX car is a good friend of mine, Danny Householder. Lives about four miles from me. We started out racing at Capital Raceway together about 1970! Those were the days.

Here's a good one. Charlie Braxton's '67 Z28 at Capital Raceway about 1968. He bought this car new at Lustine Chevrolet in July 1967. Ordered the car in Feb but wanted factory headers and cowl plenum and had to wait extra months for the hot rod options.

Car is now in Idaho and we're building the 302 mill for this hot rod. This car and the new Stocker 67 Z that I built are the first two 67 Z28s that I saw in person. Back then, most people didn't know what they were.

Note the fancy lettering job. Charlie always had the car like this. Ask any of the old timers at Capital Raceway. Open headers and seven inch tires put this car in the 12.60 zone.

Ken,

Did Al Pfeiffer also have a Black Anglia at one time? Maybe not Black, (Dark Blue?) but I recall seeing him run at Indy at least one year. I used to letter race cars and the lettering style on his car caught my eye. I probably have a picture of it SOMEWHERE.

Dennis.......I don't know.......Al passed away a couple of years ago......His cars that he raced were Show Cars, Al was a Detail Guy before anyone knew what detail was......all the slotted screw heads holding the Aluminum floors in the car had all the slots in the same direction along with everything else.....
Al raced the 40 for a while with a Caddy Engine, then with a Hemi....he then built a 33 Willys around 65 and was very successful with it until he put a Clutchflite in it ...... At the Grove he did a wheelstand leaving the line and flipped the car over on the Roof.....He sold the car and never raced again..........
