All of the work that has been done on The Sleeper has been done by Olson Auto Service Inc. They are located in Eau Claire, WI. They are capable of creating custom stainless steel exhaust, custom engine design, and much more. They operate on everything under the hood and will do anything to increase the performance of your car. Ken Hering knows what it takes to get your car fast and reliable. He has been in the racing business for many years, while starting out as being a drag racer he later moved onto more circuit track racing. He moved from racing Legend cars to now racing Vintage cars with a replica Smokey Yunick 66' Chevelle.

Please visit his website www.olsonautoservice.com and review more of what they have to offer along with the race schedule for vintage racing.

My father just bought a new race car. It is a 1966 chevelle with a 358 in the engine compartment. The cool thing about this car is the fact that it is a replica of a car that Smokey Yunick built. Will have to go to my father's site to read more about the history, click here.

Here is a short video that I was able to take shortly after I video taped my caprice.
