That poster picture is the same picture as a cover picture from a july 1963 popular hotrodding mag. drag test
on Butch Leal's z-11. It's a great article written by Barney Navarro. The car was tested at San Gabriel drag strip
and Butch was unimpressed with his 12.27-115 times. Barney made three passes, the first two with missed shifts
resulting in a water pump leak ending their day.
Somewhere I have the Drag News advertisement for the invitational. It shows all of the cars expected to show
and there best times. I think Arnie (the farmer) won it with Mrs. B's grocery getter!

Stay healthy everyone.
