 As promised, some more photos of Butch York's GTO drag car.  He actually drove this car a couple miles on the freeway to get from Bend to the Tiger Run show.  Do ya think folks might have noticed him as he went by?  :-) 
  We'll try to get the tech details soon.
 This car appeared on e-bay in June '03, being sold by someone in Kansas City, Kansas.  Excerpt from the ad:
 “This is a turn key race car set up for quarter mile racing.  The engine and rear end are fresh with only 12 runs. The car runs high 11's to low 12's...other important facts about the car: 455 Pontiac engine, .30 over 670 heads, steel rods, new forged TRW pistons.
