If Steve is willing to do so a write up about his car would be interesting to many racers and potential car builders.

In my opinion, it would make good food for thought for someone thinking, "I need a faster car or a dragster" Personally, I have sold several cars of the 6.20 ET range to "build something better" I hindsight, I always regret the decision.

Thus, the Lamplighter package I am building now.

421 23 sbc, Rupert 4150 methanol carb, 1.80 pg, 31 x 14 M/T bias slick, 4.10 gear 3150 lbs w/ driver Ford 9" ladder bar, Ohlins LMP.

My guess

Steve’s car is Anthony Bertozzi’s

I'd guess Santhuf strut. I'm sure it has a bolt on front clip as well.

There's several making them, 60's Chevy II

Anthony bought the car from Al Burkett who lives in the Richmond area a few years back. doesn't get raced a lot. Pete Biondo won a 20k race at Piedmont the first week or so Anthony had it.

ep

I drove the Nova a couple times.
Very clean and cool car that is owned by Anthony Bertozzi.
It's nice inside and out. Very clean inside with carpet and upholstery.

PS: when I said drove it, it was me putting it in the trailer or getting it out. Nothing against Steve but I'm a little slimmer! Lol.

I'm so happy that Steve won! I was texting him stupid stuff during the day to just keep his head straight. He probably didn't need it but I'm getting a free T shirt because of it!!!!

There is definitely nothing special about the car, except the driver.

there is now, it has won more $ drag racing than anyone in a season no mind a weekend.

Yes, all do, you can turn on a dime if need be for a win light in your lane.

You can do chit no one else can.

Well worth the additional expense, as you can see.

Except I run BoLaws carb.

My bad I didn't explain better. I was speaking of the race that did happen, evidenced in this photo. It's self evident who won the real race.

Not the fantasy story race 45 minutes later to put Siegel back in the race, after he was already declared loser and loaded up.

Nothing against you 2 guys or anyone else that uses the ignore feature. I can't understand why people are so weak minded. It's pretty simple, you don't like their keyboard dribble; don't read it.

I enjoy reading the forum Buffoon(s) keyboard BS. They consistently make fools of themselves & I use them for cheap entertainment. When I don't feel like reading/responding to it, I skip over it. It's like a built feature of ignoring my wife, when I feel like it.

That is literally what the ignore feature does.

I've never blocked anyone on the forums. I tend to think my mind is strong enough not to use a crutch. Not a big deal; to each their own.

You're trying to reason with a few people who don't think for themselves. They don't have a mind of their own.

If you asked them what do you think about Bradenton putting Siegel back in the race 45 minutes after he's declared loser and loaded in the trailer, even if you showed them photo's at the stripe of the race evidencing the original call, they'd not be able to look at the evidence and come to their own conclusion.

These are the type people who mouthpiece fake news wholeheartedly believing everything they're parroting is 100% Truth, once again without an ounce of ability to logically come to any rational conclusion of their own.

You're wasting your breath, these people have no idea what you're talking about, unless you watched the same fake news as they did and wholeheartedly believe it as they do, they'll put you on ignore if you come to any sort of conclusion other then theirs, gathered from fake news.

Brainwashed / indoctrinated people. People with no concept of right and wrong, only what they're told is right and wrong, by those they deem authorities.

Jesus wtf is wrong with you guys... A topic about the car that wins the million and you turn it in to a f'in ***** fest about something that has nothing to do with the car.. STFU already nobody give a ****...
