Speaking of HAYDEN PROFFITT

Hey fellers,I raced Hayden (once) In 1959 at Lyons Drag Strip that was the last time I raced my '58 in legal racing,he (Hayden) was in a new El Camino towed it to the track whilst I drove my Chevy 40 miles to Long Beach,my car was no match for a 4 speed car,but I think I did a pretty good acounting for myself,turned in my best time that day (13.99 @ 101mph) not to bad for a 3 speed car,anyway we were even at 1/8 mile but he got me by a car length.

My car responded well to a little tinkering,in stock form it did 14.90 @93mph after I rejetted the carbs,removed the vacuum linkage,installed Hedman headers,456:1 gear,floor shifter,Shieffer racing clutch,Sun tach she ran real good...I'd better stop now as I'm starting to TEAR UP.
