First Demolition Derby

My teenage son was in his first demolition derby last week and came in first out of 18 cars in his heat, and third in the feature with 4,000 pound wagons. He was in a 76 Volare Sedan we drug out of a field. The slant 6 was locked up, so we installed a slant 6 that literally sat upside down on the barn floor for 12 years. A little tuning and it ran great. I honestly think he would have won the feature too, but he had a dead spot on his starter that came up near the end of the event. After the feature was over we pecked on the starter and he drove it to the truck.
