    Today I went with a friend to pick up his 1934 Ford 5 window that has been sitting in a garage for 35 years untouched. It has some drag racing history back in 1955 to 1960 at Thunderbolt Raceway in Jacksonville FL. The owner was a guy named John L. Peterson and ran a chevy 348 in it. If anyone out there would have any info or pictures of the car from that period that would be greatly appreciated.
