well not Tri Five but still, what a story ..
at the NHRA Summit Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio, Stock Eliminator was won by Ben Wenzel driving a 1967 Camaro, ho hum you think but Ben last won a NHRA National event title in 1967 at the Indy Nationals driving the SAME CAMARO that won this year at Norwalk!.. Ben bought the Camaro new and won the biggest drag race of the year in '67 by beating Ken Gunning's '57 Chevy Wagon in the final of Stock Eliminator at the US Nationals, then .. after racing that same Camaro all these years he found the winners circle once again in Norwalk - 42 years and 9 months later!
