I took almost a 100 pictures in the 3 days we were in Gainesville. I can't figure out how to post them , but i'm sure Phil will !!!
What a time we had , the car is an awsome duplication of the original & there will only ever be 1 Hayden Proffitt . The stories & fun we had , laughing and listening intently to what was said by Hayden and others ............
On friday i went to the Gatornationals . I ran into Hayden sitting under the grand stands out of the sun , he told me quite a few more things that i didn't know , all the time smelling the nitro and listening to the runs commenting if it was a good run or not. His true love of racing is easy to see , but i think he just likes the smell of nitro !!!!!!!!: bow
I want to personally thank Hayden's nephew & his 2 grandnephews for acompaning him . The are 3 truly nice people

I just can't seem to get the pictures from the files to the thread , so thanks to Jim K for the help! ...... I'll try to get this in some sense of order .
The three major players in making this happen are :
Harold Clay : green shirt
Troy ? : yellow shirt
Bill White : white shirt
Harold & Troy are best of freinds and are the force behind the car , Bill White is also freinds w/ both Harold & Troy and did quite a bit of the assembly. None of these guys had much rest for a few weeks prior to completion. :eek: .... I'm sure Phil can fill in w/ more details !!
1st pic is of Hayden seeing the car for the first time
# 3 Harold & Hayden
# 5 Old freinds Hayden & Roger Gustin
# 8 Phil having a sensory over load

That's a major understatement!!!! That doesn't even come close to describing my feelings that day!!!!
The car is owned by Harold Clay and Troy Phillips. They plan on taking it to 5 to 6 Super Chevy events this summer along with both Hot Rod Reunions...Bowling Green, KY and Bakersfield, CA. Harold is flying Hayden in to all these evnts so everyone can meet Hayden and see the car. Roger Gustin will let Hayden make some passes down the track too!!!! I'll post dates when I have more info.
The event in Gainesville went great and I'll post some pictures when I get home.
Why aren't you home yet ????
Phil left Gainesville on friday !!!!!!!!!
Some of us have to WORK !

HI always watched HAYDENS progress in hot rod magazine-used S&S headers --- CASLER SLICKS- and his tips on suspension work----because he did -when he won the nationals in his class-!! ( SUPER STOCK ) it really helped me to be the super stock record holder at ISLIP speedway in L I N Y -in the mid 60's--learned a lot from THE MAN---so really great to see him and his machine being celebrated here--duplication is the greatest form of flattery------REGARDS TONY LENTINI
