      Ok….I have a little history about “SHAFT”. Somewhere about ’73 or ’74 the Camaro made its way over to Highland Falls (next to West Point) and was stored outside “Pete’s Texaco” on Main St. The owner then was Jack Galu jr. of Fort Montgomery. He repainted the car calling it “Wacky Jacky” and ran the car many times at Dover, B/G I believe. Jacky was really crazy both on the strip and street, hence the name. I rememember Jacky telling me one time at Dover after launching the 4 speed car, it came down so hard after a wheelstand he almost bit his tongue off!!! I may have a picture of the car if anyone is interested…..
