Though I grew up
watching Tommy Athanas run, I personally really don’t know too much about
him. All I can say, as a kid growing
up, I liked his cars because it had what looked like a hybrid cross breed of
the Road Runner and the “Thrush” shifter mascot painted on the side of the
car….and that was way cool.
Tommy ran this
straight 6 cylinder against all the V-8 small blocks back in the day. As LVC visitor Bert Poland mentioned,
Athanas is running either this car, or one very
similar to on the northeast vintage racing series nowadays.
