Fat Cat Corvette

[MR.hp]

Just watched the 1982 first BIR race and they had Dyno Dan Zrust against the Fat Cat corvette. What a great race. Dan lost. I always remember that vette. I think he is a memeber here. Care to chime in on this?

I helped build a trailer for Dan way back when.

Got a pic? Is Dan Zrust the guy that has a ss/AA 1968 Cuda?

Pretty sure that's what Dan races now.

The Fat Cat was the first Super Gas winner at BIR.Yes,Dan has a SS Hemi Cuda.

Dan told me this year he has the slowest hemi car. Must be old age setting in. LOL

[Alleyoop2]

He might not be competitive yet, but it's one of the nicest SS/AH cars out there!

The SS/AH cars are a big passion of mine! If I was rich, I would own two of em!! A 68 Hemi Barracuda, and a 68 Hemi Dart :treed:

Sorry no pics. This would have been back when I worked at Aerolite
so it would have been in the late 80's- early 90's.

One of my former coworkers is the son of the owner of Bill Bagshaw's Red Light Bandit 68 Hemi dart.

If I recall...years ago, Bagshaw lost control of his car at Bowling Green and killed one or more spectators. Obviously was a freak accident.

[Z28SSMAN]

I thought it was Bowling Green...my mistake.

It might not be the quickest,but it is the prettiest ss/ah out there,A friend of mine Brin mahler at paint works painted it,he did a hell of a job !!!!

Very nice.

I've known Dan for years. He's a class act.

But back on topic about Fat Cat...Isn't that Bob Tangen's car?

Anybody know what he's doing now?

[57 300]

Bob is living in Brainered.Built a new shop and is enjoying retirement.

[MR.hp]

That's no way to enjoy retirement, racing is the only way to enjoy retirement.

[Fatcat]

Yup, I'm up here in Brainerd. Still have a couple of cars, all sedans, 67 II, 67 Chevelle 300, 51 Olds 88 (kind of a turd but still cool), 68 Catalina project, 493 HP 4speed 3:42 Posi, and LeRoy Psyk's old 55 Chev. Trying to get the II ready to do some of those wed nite things up here, had it running mid 11's till my daughter took it to the moon and dinged the motor, have a 421 sbc I'm trying to get together. Lots of old gearheads up here, getting to know a few, going to try and have a Minn Dragways/Northstar filmfest for a few guys with some old film I have on DVD here next month. If I had known I was gonna live this long I woulda tried to take better care of myself !!
