need pics of dad's Corvette "Alabamian I" f/c

[GFowler1979]

Hey everybody, my name is Clint Fowler. My dad, Gary Fowler, used to drive and co-owned (with Billy Holt) the original Corvette "Alabamian" funny car. I'm looking for pictures of this car, as well as any other ones from his days driving for Billy Holt that might be out there. I've found a couple of "Alabamian," and a couple more of a '33 Willys that he drove, but that's about it. I'd also love to hear any stories or info about this car. Unfortunately my dad passed away a few years ago, and I don't really have much of his, so any help would mean a lot. Thanks a lot.
