He and I keep in touch and have talked about the car. It is a modern nascar with the Daytona body. R5p7 motor, etc. Flush windows, modified body, roof flaps. Etc. I believe it has gone about 230. He built a Talledega also, similar build with Rousch Yates motor

I can see why it’s one of your favorites. It’s definitely bad *** and has the perfect bonneville look.

Troy’s Blowfish has to be one of my favorites.

I had considered a more Blowfish style as an alternative. Prostock style rear spoiler and a Daytona nose. I would have to either just run in Open class or move to Competition Coupe. Then definitely no records for me

I really like Troy's Torino also.

So I have been thinking this AM. I am going to finish the car and run in the 150 club in Sept. Then, for 2026, convert the car to a Daytona leaving as much else alone as I can. See what the car picks up for speed with aero alone.

A friend pointed out if I run in the 150 club but the car is faster I will never know and can't have a direct comparison in speed. So, I will need to research open/timed and how they figure speed vs safety equipment
