Default Fun run with a '61

Had a chance to run my uncle in his '61 at the vette cruise-in at bowling green. Thought you guys might like to see.

His car is all original with over 100 thousand on the 283. He does have a cam and this year he switched to a 2 1/2 inch exhaust. The exhaust alone helped him knock almost a full second off his time from last year. There was a 62 there as well that was running slightly slower times.
