I think Dick Landy is the coolest man to ever set foot on a drag strip and that picture of him with the cigar in his mouth changing the plugs on that dual-plug Hemi 1500 miles from home confirms that.

That kid may have a real reason to be flipping off Snow given his (Snow's) past legal problems.

Boy, pictures do say a thousand words. To stand right in the pits of your favorite driver, how cool is that.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif Great Pictures

[SUSQ]

AWESOME! Those were the days! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

[Bill Pritchard]

Paul,

Thanks so much for posting all those great shots http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif Next time you see Rick say hello for me and tell him thanks, too http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif I saw a couple familiar faces in those shots from Oswego....I am also reminded of how crude a facility it was, even in those days, but it was close to home so we ran there in spite of it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[COPO 70 RS/Z28]

Man Great pics!!!!!!!!!!

I was 11 years old then and was into dirt bikes, started getting into cars around 74 and remember heading to the grove to watch the action. Super stuff thanks for sharing!!!!!!

[olredalert]

------Was that mist green 70 Chevelle the Rick Moorehouse car???..........Bill S

[Mr70]

Yep.

[olredalert]

------Thanks Mr.70,,,That car has more pics from back in the day than any I can remember. Dont know if you guys remember but when I bought the car from Rick it had 396 emblems on it. I have a picture of it with the emblems. Wonder how many guys he surprised. Can you say "sleeper"?????.........Bill S

[musclecarjohn]

Those are some fantastic photos from a great period of time...thanks for sharing them. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

I can tell you it wasn't too many....the word got around pretty quickly back on the streets of Aurora, IL. Everyone knew that no SS396 Chevelle ran like that car did without sounding pretty radical. Those 396 emblems were on the car very early in its life.

[Kim_Howie]

Now that's racing at it best!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Mid 60's picture of another car called "Orange Crate." This car ran C/Hot Rod at AHRA tracks. Sure was a lot younger when this picture was taken?
