I have been entering cars in the Santa Fe Concorso for 7 years now, usually Corvettes, and always have placed 2nd or 3rd place in the show classes. This year I entered my '64 FI tanker and came away with one of the top awards, the Denise McCluggage Award. I entered her in the vintage race car class, since she was a racer in the first 3-4 years of her life, and she was on the field next to Unser's 1968 Indy winning Gurney Eagle. It was a fun show, and mine was not the only tanker there, a very nice, newly restored '63 Z06 tanker was in the show class. She is dressed like one AJ Foyt had in 1964.

Re: Nice honor for my '64
Congratulations, Mike. The original racers probably wouldn't recognize it from the time that the Blue Streaks turned in anger. Interesting turnout of cars!Comment

Re: Nice honor for my '64
I met her in 1968 at LIME ROCK. We crossed paths often. Last time I saw here was at the RIVERSIDE RACEWAY MUSEUM Legend weekend Reunion in 2012 when we ''roasted'' Bob Bondurant.
She was at many Fabulous 50's Race Club events and also many Monterey Historic Race weekends. Truly a great lady, and a fast driver too.Over 80 Corvettes of fun ! Love Rochester Fuel Injection 57-65 cars. Love CORVETTE RACE CARS
