Pretty Impressive Resume

http://www.theoldone.com/about/default.asp Anyone ever hear of this fellow? Was looking for more interesting 429 history, thought I would share.

http://www.theoldone.com/prostock-T-Bird/

Your welcome. Do you think the T-Bird is legit? Pretty fast for the year he claims it ran? The clyinder head articles where interesting, I thought.

Larry Widmer must have been a pretty low key fellow? I see PN/M-6049-A460 in his development list, and have never heard of him mentioned around here? What year did Pro Stock break the 200MPH barrier anyway? 195 MPH in 1982-83 is not for off the 200 bounty, and that is not been too long ago.

Thanks for the info Boss429. I could not remember the dates. I do remember the 7.0 ET and 200MPH where a big deal to break, back then. If this is a repost, I never saw it, before, but it could well be. It appears Larry Widmer, may have been ahead of the curve, or maybe even the tip of the spear, if the information in the links is correct? Bob Glidden and SVO where major players in our BBF world, and it looks like Larry may have been too. Gene Deputy of Texas Turbo in Houston Tx. and his turbo SBF Mustang was also in the old SVO catalogs, long before everyone was running turbo's, and was down to 7.90's "Bruno,Lenco" "8.30's with the C-6" with the car, in the early 90's. It would seem likely they worked with the SVO people pretty closely, back in the day.

Thanks for that link. Great Article too. That car is definety before it's time. Gene Deputy probably scoped it out, as well as some of the other Turbo Guru's, back in the 80's. The exhaust system is also something else to consider in the era that it appeared. First time I have ever seen the car, and I would have definitely would have remembered it.
