Fam4willys I sent this post and your other post to Al Hamberis Mike Mitchell's partner this is what he sent me back. hi mate thanks for the picture of zabas rosales 34 ford coupe. zabas used to terrorize the local drag strips of the late fifties and early sixties. thats when i had a beautiful 57 chevy post with a fuel injected 327 small block with a muncie 4 speed in it. zabas was our hero and older i had rosales and mitchell racing team on my doors and we used to go to half moon bay and race when they broke up and mike and i decided to build our little mouse it was really easy to go with hamberis and mitchell. the rest was history as they say. thanks alot for that picture it triggered many happy memories for me. ill call you soon. alex

CTAV8 did you take those picture's they are at Dover. Must be 66 or later judging from some of the cars that were not there in 63-65.

I did take them, Pat. Just found a bunch of old slides so I'm taking pics of them to post. I thought they were from '66 but they're marked '67.
