Here's a shot from the 1975 NHRA Winternationals of Paul Blevins in his SRD built Vega. Blevins at the time was the number 2 Chevrolet Pro Stock behind Bill Jenkins. Paul and his two man crew of Kevin Codd (Car Craft Magazine All-Star Drag Racing Team Winner) and Al Focalore did everything from drive the truck to build the engines. 

Blevins had some moderate success in Pro Stock after winning many divisional titles and the World Championship in Modified Eliminator. Paul is still involved in drag racing as he builds Jr. Dragster parts for his son and others.
