@@DragRacingTV he had a bad accident at Sacramento with an oil down from the last car and destroyed the car. I helped him as a high school kid and was at firebird raceway with a win against Jack S.

@@johnlinbarger2393 Do you remember what years that was? I thought that it used to be a blue car, but in this photo it's silver: www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=74775

@@DragRacingTV I did finally find a picture of the car but only one. Yes that car was a champagne silver/metallic pearl slightly purple. Id love to go see Mitch and share his story. He lives close to me here in Napa, might be a hell of a story. I can tell you people couldn't figure out why he was so fast but I was there when that engine was built and that was some crazy brain child stuff there.

He and his dad Ray Evenson deserve recognition for the beginning of pro stock VW drags

that was 1/4 mile or 1/8 of amile

[@DragRacingTV]

The PRA always ran 1/4 mile, except for a couple of occasions when the track got too oily or windy, they would shorten it to 1/8th mile... thx for taking a look at the videos.
