All the work was worth it. First race of the season GLSSA opener results

Hey Doug, congratulations to you and your son, a weekend to remember for sure! Love seeing another 62 Savoy out there showing it’s stuff :)
 
It's just like the old days at the track when the early B body's rolled in and the words were "**** man we're in deep ****" !!!
 
That is awesome, Doug! Building cars and competing with your son is a win all by itself. Then going to the track and each bringing home hardware…. Priceless! Congrats on a great start to the season!
We’re still a few weeks away here in the rainy Pacific Northwest.

After all the thrash in the past two weeks, my son and I headed to the season opener at Mid Michigan Motorplex for the Great Lakes Stock Super Stock series. Saturday on the first qualifier my son Scotts car developed a loud banging. oil pressure was good. We looked it over after towing back. Pulled the valve covers checked everything we could see, found nothing. Decieded to try and start it. Sputtered a couple times but didn't fire. Pulled the cap to check rotor phasing. The rotor was broken. Searched the track for a replacement (old tach drive Mopar dist). Fortunately my friend John runs a 64 max wedge and had one. Scott made it to rd 2 and was beaten by .0015. On a better note. Though I wasn't at my best R/T wise still managed to win 6 rds for the victory. Sunday I gave up the stripe in rd 1 thinking it was on a breakout pass. But Scott was on a roll. Went 6 rds for the victory. So after the first 2 races we are #1 and #2 in points. Not often the family sweeps the weekend and walks out with $4k to boot

That is something I will never know, although my dad did some street and track racing in the late 50s to 1965, and quite a few wins, and he and my mom made it to the track to watch me a time or two.
 
Congrats Doug & Scott, still working on the "Sinister Savoy" trans is not co-operating, will find out next week!!
